For a main dish you could do curried chicken if you like curry and the others would too.
You need chicken pieces, not a whole one, curry powder, seasonings like black pepper, salt, garlic and if you like it spicy a little cayenne pepper or the really hot jamaican pepper.
First if the chicken pices, thigh, leg, breast are large sized, you need to chop them each in halves to make smaller pieces.
After washing and patting dry, you season the meat as we say in Jamaica; so you add the ingredients, curry powder, salt to taste, black pepper garlic, and whatever you want to add to it to give it flair.
Toss all these ingredients together with the chicken (so you're making sure the chicken is nicely covered with all this)
put a pot (one that is deep like a stew pot)on top of the stove at medium heat, add just a small amount of cooking oil
Let the pot and oil get hot
Put chicken into pot (careful not to burn yourself cause it will sizzle)
let the chicken become carmelized with the seasoning and then stir gradually as it is coated with the oil and seasoning
keep stirring until it is nicely brown or yellow in this case
then add some water to it so that you can make a gravy (this cooking is like making a stew but not as much water)
You want to make sure their is a curried gravy mixture and that the chicken is fully cooked when done
You can also add more seasoning to taste, like more garlic and peppers and cut some slices of green pepper into it too, oh and lest I forget lots of onions will give it that flair.
Presto, you're done!
My office loves when I bring this dish to our potluck lunches.
For a salad sometimes I stir fry some frozen vegetables in honey, let it cool then add it to lettuce, tomatoes and cucumber that have already been sliced and prepared, add a bit of ranch dressing and toss.
Hope one of these helps!

But it won't be too long until the snakes are out and about again. Maybe I'll get that recipe from you later this summer.
if you say so mano.
