Vicki Griffin of Roswell enjoyed a meal similar to this while on her honeymoon more than 20 years ago in the Virgin Islands. Now she says, "It's a favorite to take to someone who is in need of a little temporary domestic assistance because of a new baby, illness or spouse away. And children also love it."
-- Jeanne Besser

Hands on time:   Total time: 30 minutes  Serves: 4

Ingredients:

    1/2 cup rum
    2 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules or cubes
    1 tablespoon curry powder
    4 chicken breasts
    4 teaspoons cornstarch

Instructions:

In a large, deep skillet, combine 1 1/2 cups water, rum, bouillon and curry powder and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, add chicken, cover and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, turning the chicken halfway through cooking. Remove chicken when done and set aside.
In a cup, blend cornstarch and 4 tablespoons cold water. Slowly stir this mixture into the pan juices. Continue to stir the pan juices until they thicken up just a bit. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Return the chicken to the pan and coat with sauce before serving.

Notes:

Griffin likes to add a clove of minced garlic, but that takes her over the challenge limit of five ingredients. However, if you decide to indulge in an additional seasoning, go for it.
