Happiest of hump days to you all! I am extra happy today because I didn’t know what to expect when I threw this recipe together and it was ahhmazing. I’ve had curry once in my lifetime and it was pretty tasteless. I can assure you that this chicken curry is not tasteless. I will for sure be making this recipe again. It might look like a lot of ingredients and steps, but it truly is simple to make. If you’ve never had curry before, make this recipe! If you’ve had curry before, still make this recipe!
I’ve been having some fun changing up our dinners lately. I usually cook up some chicken, burgers, steak or fish and pair it with a vegetable and complex carb but I have been changing things up lately and loving it. I am making more casseroles, dishes like this curry and this Paleo BBQ Sloppy Joe’s I just shared the recipe to earlier this week.
Don’t get bored with your weekly dinners and change it up from time to time. There are tons of quick, healthy and delicious recipes here that will keep you excited about eating healthy!
