Coconut Curry Chicken is one our family’s favorite meals to make together when we’re craving take-out but want to stay cozy at home. This recipe is a cross between a Thai curry and an Indian curry, with naturally sweet coconut peanut sauce paired with spicy, tender chicken, potatoes and all kinds of veggies. It plates up beautifully and tastes even better! If you’ve never tried a good curry, start with this one, because it uses easy to find ingredients and spices. You will love this recipe! It is also allergy friendly as it is dairy-free and gluten-free (just make sure to check the labels on your chicken broth and peanut sauce).
