Chicken Curry in a Hurry

      How can you pass up a recipe named Chicken Curry in a Hurry?  From Real Simple, this recipe has all the elements of an easy, quick meal and finds a good use for that leftover rotisserie chicken sitting on the shelf in your refrigerator.  Over a full spread of fresh, hot coals, in my 10 inch oven, I sauteed the onion, stirred in the curry, added the rest of the ingredients and in 15 minutes, voila, lunch was ready.  You can always turn up the heat with a hotter curry powder, I used a relatively mild version from Trader Joe's.  Might not measure up to the curry you're used to having at your favorite Indian restaurant but a fast and dutch oven friendly, outdoor dinner.
