Easy Chicken Curry

Chicken Curry is such a great dish to have during the week when you need to feed a hungry family, quick and fresh. Just prep the vegetables the day ahead and all you need to do is to cook it in the pan and dinner is served! Hearty root vegetables such as carrots and potatoes are included, but you an add different variations on the veggies. Bell peppers, egg plant, broccoli or cauliflower are also great additions to this amazing sauce. You just need to adjust cooking times to the vegetables that you are using so that they can all cook evenly. For example, this recipe for chicken curry used all firm root vegetables so their cooking times are consistent. Broccoli and cauliflower are similar in texture, so pairing these two in this would be ideal.

Curried chicken recipes also vary in spice, so making this version spicy is as simple as adding some fresh chopped chili peppers to your liking. Using spicy curry powder is also an option for additional heat and the balance of the soothing coconut milk makes this dish fantastic. Using boneless skinless chicken breasts makes it healthy and if you want more flavor, you can use boneless chicken thighs. It’s an easy Asian recipe that you can make ahead of time because the flavors actually taste better the next day.
