Chicken is a safe choice for most heartburn sufferers, but it can soon become a boring meal without some variety. Curried chicken gives you some variety! Many people who suffer from heartburn can use curry powder in their recipes without triggering their heartburn. If you find you can't tolerate as much curry powder as this recipe calls for, try using less.
