Chicken Curry

Okay, my friend Tim has been asking for a curry recipe for a while now.  Tim - this is for you.  It is so yummy!  A little bit of heat, but absolutely yummy.  Hubby and I were eating leftovers the next day, which was even better.  And I even found some Naan bread at Fresh and Easy!  If it is too much heat for you, you can serve it with plain yogurt or sour cream.
