I made adjustment with the recipe. Because of the serving size. Hope my daughter and husband will love it! And I don’t put chili I set it aside because they don’t like chili .. Thanks a lot for the recipe❤

This chicken curry was pretty good, and everyone in our family liked it. The recipe was flavorful, but not spicy, so it would be fine for younger kids too. Quick for an easy weeknight meal, or works as a slightly fancier meal for guests that is a little unique. I debated about using green peppers since I know my kids, 12, 8, and 7 aren’t huge fans, but since this was the first time making this I wanted to follow the recipe exactly. Next time I might use a combination of peppers to get more color and some different flavors. Thank you for sharing your recipe!

The recipe was great as it was. I made it exactly and it was easy (about 20 minutes from start to finish ) to make. It seems really “watery” at first. but as it cooked, it thickened up. If I were to change anything, It would be to add coconut milk. I think it would make it richer, and creamier. It would also take some of the bite out of the curry.

A smidge too salty but otherwise fantastic! Will make again with only minor adjustments to the amount of seasoning.

2.4.18 This is so easy to make and fast enough for a tasty weeknight dinner. The only thing I did differently was to replace a cup of the water with some fresh chicken broth that I had left from cooking some thighs yesterday. We enjoyed this curry, but felt it was a bit salty. In the future, I’ll use all chicken broth (no water), eliminate the chicken bouillon granules, and replace the garlic salt with garlic powder. Michelle, thanks for sharing your recipe, we enjoyed it.
