Thai Coconut Curry Chicken Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

This wonderful-tasting thai coconut curry chicken is quick and easy to make with the substitution of lime or lemon juice for lemongrass, cutting the prep time in half. Don't be put off by the long ingredients listthis is simply because i prefer to make my own paste from scratch rather than using store-bought curry pastes, making for a fresher, superior-tasting curry. This recipe includes potatoes, a common ingredient in street curries, but other vegetables can be added as well according to your preference (zucchini and green beans are 2 good ones). Try the less well-known-but-delicious vietnamese coconut chicken curry.
