Easy Chicken Curry

Easy Chicken Curry is a very tasty and delicious dish that you can quickly prepare any time of the day. The use of curry powder makes this dish easier to make — compared to assembling your own curry from scratch (although nothing beats making your own curry from scratch by grinding and combining spices).

As we all know, there are hundreds of ways to prepare a chicken curry dish. This recipe that we have here is just another variation — it only happens that it is a good version that I highly recommend. I used bone-in chicken because it has more flavor, but feel free to use boneless chicken breast if you like. As for the coconut milk, canned coco milk or coconut cream is the easiest way to go, unless you have access to fresh coconut milk or cream (kakang gata).

I am used to have potatoes in my chicken curry. This is the reason why I always include it in every recipe. The difference of this chicken curry with the Pinoy Chicken Curry that I previously published is probably the green peas. I think that the peas compliments the dish well.
