Coconut Curry Chicken is a delectable chicken recipe saturated with fresh ingredients and submerged in a luscious coconut curry sauce. I fell in love with it the first time I had it. I recommend you try it. I love the blend of coconut milk, curry and tomato paste. It can be paired with rice or a side of your choice. You can also make it Keto by serving it with cauliflower rice.
