This Chicken Coconut Curry is something my kids are always begging me to make. They love the tender potatoes, chunks of juicy chicken with the sauce made sweet with coconut milk and savory with warm Thai spices and stewed tomatoes. We serve it over Jasmine rice or just eat it in a bowl all on its own. I love this recipe. It’s easy to make, with easy to find ingredients, and comes together quickly. It is also gluten-free. This curry is fancy enough to serve company yet simple enough to make for a weeknight dinner.

Additions and Substitutions
The beauty of this recipe is it can be switched up to suit your family’s tastes to perfection! Try a few of of these alternative ingredients and make it your own.
Chicken thighs can be used in place of the chicken breasts. Shrimp or beef can also be used instead of chicken. Add any vegetables you wish. I like it with bell peppers, zucchini, broccoli, shredded carrots, green peas or even green beans. Any kind of potatoes will work too: Yukon gold, red potatoes, russets, or sweet potatoes, whatever you have on hand. If you like it spicy, add sriracha to the mixture, or even a little bit more cayenne pepper. If you like ginger, add a pinch of ground ginger or fresh ginger to the curry when simmering. This curry is quite aromatic so if you make it be sure to open up your kitchen windows or you will be smelling curry for days (which may not be a bad thing!). Top with peanuts, cashews, chopped pecans or dried chickpeas for a delicious crunch. Serve over jasmine rice, basmati rice, white, or brown rice.
