The Curried Chicken was not a success with my kids, but they are picky eaters these days. It is not an overly strong curry meal. The Sloppy Joes are a hit with them if I chop the veggies up really small.

Curried Chicken

3 cups jasmine rice, cooked

1 green pepper, chopped

1 red pepper, chopped

1 lb chicken breasts, cut into 1 inch pieces

3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
