    Curried Coconut chicken is a sweet and spicy exotic-tasting dish that is an easy, crowd pleasing one pot meal.

    Not only is Curried Coconut Chicken easy to make,  it will impress your family and guest because it is so stacked with flavors that they will think you spent hours preparing them a meal.   Using coconut milk as a base for the sauce makes this a slightly sweet healthy curried chicken with a rich aromatic creamy sauce perfect served over rice noodles or jasmine rice.  

    I believe the key to bringing out the flavor of the curry is to not skip the first step of heating the oil and curry powder in a large skillet over medium-high heat for two minutes. I omitted this once accidentally and the dish did not have as rich of flavor. Also, be sure and use boneless skinless chicken breast, slicing in thin bite size pieces.  It is easier to slice like this if the meat is slightly frozen. 

    I found this recipe several years ago on All Recipes and decided to try it because it had such high reviews.  It was an instant hit at our table however, we like to add a few different ingredients to the recipe.  We enjoy the  addition of  slices of sweet yellow and green peppers and small diced potatoes during the cooking of the onions.  For toppings we like to add unsweetened coconut and raisins which adds another dimension to the flavors of this dish.

      We are definitely a fan of coconut curry in our house. If you're a Costco member, look for Maya Kaimal's Coconut Curry Chicken. It's fabulous!

        Costco is one of my favorite places to shop! I had never been to one until ours came to town about 2 years ago. I was immediately hooked! I've seen it there but was afraid to try it but now I'll add it to my Costco list. Thanks for the tip
