February is the time for heart-warming meals. You can’t go wrong with these two simple and tasty chicken recipes. Just click on the links below to see the recipes.

First, a quick and easy Chicken Curry recipe from Epicurious.com.


A few tips to keep the dish budget savvv:

• The recipe works just fine with regular white rice instead of the basmati.


• Most grocery stores sell canned coconut milk in the ethnic food section at a very reasonable price. Sweetened, condensed milk can also be used.


• If you cannot find a good deal on cashews, almost any other unsalted nut (peanuts, almonds, etc.) can be used.


• Golden raisins can be used instead of dried currants.

For something equally heartwarming, but less spicy, try Baked Chicken & Rice with Peas from the San Francisco Chronicle. This recipe is easy to prepare, inexpensive and healthy.

• Purchase extra chicken when it is on sale and keep it in the freezer.


• Also, stock your pantry with chicken broth when it goes on sale. It can be used in dozens of recipes.
