Curried Chicken with Apples and Bananas

Amount	Ingredient
2 tbsp	vegetable oil, divided
3 pounds	chicken, skinned and cut into 6 pieces or 6 bone-in skinless breasts or legs
1	large onion, chopped, about 1 cup
3	garlic cloves, minced, about 1 tbsp
1	tart apple, such as Granny Smith, peeled and diced, about 1 cup
2	medium-size bananas, chopped, about 1 1/2 cups
1	large tomato, diced, about 1 1/2 cups
2 tablespoons	mild or medium curry powder or 1 tbsp (15 mL) hot curry powder
2 teaspoons	turmeric
1/2 teaspoon	each of ground cumin and ground coriander
1 cup	low-sodium diluted chicken broth or chicken stock
1 cup	plain yogurt, preferably low fat
1 tablespoons	all-purpose flour
	Salt to taste

Preparation Tips:

1. In a very large saucepan or Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Add half of chicken pieces and cook, turning once, until brown, about 3 minutes per side. Remove to a large plate. Repeat with remaining oil and chicken. Remove all chicken and set aside.
2. Reduce heat to medium. Add onion and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare apple, bananas and tomato.
3. Sprinkle onion with curry powder, turmeric, cumin and coriander. Saute, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Add apple, bananas, tomato and broth. Bring to a boil, scraping up brown bits from bottom of pan.
4. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, uncovered and stirring frequently, until liquid is reduced by about half, from 5 to 10 minutes. Return chicken and any juices to pan and simmer, covered but stirring occasionally, until juices run clear when chicken is pierced with a fork, about 30 minutes.
5. Stir yogurt with flour until smooth. Stir into chicken mixture. To blend flavours, simmer, uncovered and stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes. Taste and add salt, if you like. Tightly covered, this dish will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
