Easy and tasty chicken curry is a great meal for a busy weeknight! Family friendly, too.
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 if you have food allergies…going dairy free or nut free means that most Indian food restaurants aren’t safe places anymore.
Since we can’t dine out at our favorite Indian restaurant anymore, I have to satisfy my craving at home. This quick and easy chicken curry recipe is a great dish to make if you are busy. Using a rotisserie chicken is a huge shortcut here, but if you don’t want to do that, you can also use 4 cups of shredded chicken breasts in its place.
We just made this yesterday and it was gone in a flash! If you don’t want to use coconut milk yogurt, you can use dairy yogurt, if you are not sensitive to dairy. The amount of spice puts this at a mild plus spice level, feel free to adjust to your taste.

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 :)
