Ingredients

1/4 c Olive oil

1 lb Chicken breast, skim and bones removed, cut into 2 inch pieces

Salt and black pepper

4 t All purpose flour, divided

6 ounces Yellow onions, sliced thin

1 lb Medium shrimp, shelled and deveined

2 Fluid ounces sweet white wine (Plum wine is recommended but not essential)

1 8-ounce Jar coconut-curry sauce (or reduced fat/light coconut milk with curry powder mixed in)

1 cup Cream (or milk- I substituted skim milk and the consistency was fine)

11/2 ounces Fresh ginger, sliced into very thin strips

3-4 c Steamed white rice

Preparation

1. heat oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. While the oil is heating, season the chicken with salt and pepper, then lightly coat with 2 T of the flour. Add the chicken into the pan and cook until lightly browned on all sides but only about half done. Remove to a plate and set aside. Add the onions into the pan and ccok until the onions have become lightly caramelized.

2. While the onions are cooking, coat the shrimp (lightly) with remaining flour. Add the shrimp to the pan and cook until the shrimp are half done. Remove and add to chicken.

3. Deglaze the pan with the sweet wine. Add the cocount-curry cream sauce, cream, and sweet ginger, stirring gently until the sauce becomes lightly thickened. Return chicken and shrimp to pan and heat until done, a few minutes more.

4. Place equal amounts of steamed white rice onto warm serving plates. Pour equal amounts of the chicken/shrimp mixture onto each plate (around the rice).
