I've made chicken curry twice, using potatoes, carrots and onions, and that works well, although the sauce is watery rather than thick and creamy (it is just chicken broth after all). I've also made Filipino-style chicken adobo twice, once for a pot luck, and it was well received. It's very easy: soy sauce, vinegar, and black pepper are the only essential seasonings, although I also put ginger, garlic, onion and a bay leaf.
