This easy, tasty, dairy free chicken curry is a great meal for a busy weeknight. This comforting meal is family friendly and so simple to make!
Do you all love Indian food? I would eat it all the time if I could, but I’m not a millionaire, so that’s not possible. :)
Maybe you miss Indian food because you have food allergies…going dairy free or nut free means that most Indian food restaurants aren’t safe places for those with food allergies or dietary restrictions.
Since we can’t dine out at our favorite Indian restaurant anymore, I have to satisfy my craving at home. This dairy free, nut free chicken curry recipe is a great dish to make if you’re looking for a quick and easy dinner.
There’s nothing like a warm serving of chicken curry over freshly cooked rice. This is comfort food at its best!
Ingredient Notes
- Chicken – I like to use chicken breast that is cooked ahead of time as a shortcut. If you’re able to use a store bought rotisserie chicken, that’s another way to go.
- Coconut Yogurt – We like coconut milk yogurt. Any type of plain yogurt would work just fine in this recipe.
- Spices – Curry powder, salt, and pepper are the only spices you need to make this recipe. The spice level is mild, but feel free to increase the curry powder if you want it to be a little bit spicier.
Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They should stay fresh for about 3 days.

I am with you 110%
I am IN L.O.V.E with curry. I crave it at all hours of the day. Talking about it makes me salivate. Mmmmmm….
I will have to try this recipe. Because you’re right. It gets expensive to eat out. And with how often I would like to, I just as well learn how to make it at home and save some cash!
Thank you!

I have everything I need to make this except the chicken! I may have to swing by the grocery store on my way home tonight :)
