Chicken And Curried Fruit

The intense, sweet flavor and chewy texture of dried fruit is highlighted by curry and other flavorings in this simple entree. Leftover dried fruit may be sprinkled over cereal or tossed in pilafs or stuffings. Remember that a little goes a long way -- although low in fat, dried fruit is higher in calories than fresh fruit.
