I love curry. However, I often find curry recipes to be complicated and/or time consuming. I have been experimenting and looking for an easy curry recipe for a while. A few months ago, I stumbled on one that I was able to modify into an easy, clean curry. Since then, I’ve made this recipe about every 2 weeks. It’s become a favorite at my house. Its so delicious. It proves that curry doesn’t have to be difficult. Pair it with our perfect brown rice, and you have a clean and easy, homemade meal.
We serve this with a simple side salad or even our lemon broccoli, which is a great compliment to the curry flavor in the chicken.
Enjoy! Let us know what you think.

[…] Jessica and her boyfriend are doing the Connecticut Wine Trail Passport. It’s really fun. We have one here in Virginia too, but their’s is way cooler. Basically, you visit all the vineyards and wineries on the passport, taste the wine (its a tough job, but someone has to do it), then they give you a stamp. There are prizes for finishing it. Top prize is a trip to Spain. Um, yes please. So in an effort to help Jessica win a trip to Spain, the next day we went wine tasting, of course. I was so excited about this because I live in Virginia wine country, and consider myself somewhat of a wine snob. It was so fun to see the “local” culture in Connecticut. Our first stop was Bishops Orchard, Farm Market & Winery (www.bishopsorchards.com) in Guilford. If you live anywhere near Guilford, please go there. It’s amazing. You will not be disappointed. You could spend an entire Saturday there. Start by picking some fruit, then do a fruit wine tasting, then get some yummy BBQ from the food truck that makes everything from scratch, then get some gourmet groceries. Like I said, full day. Back to the food truck, yes, we did have some because the smell was irresistible. I had the pulled pork with the homemade coleslaw, and Jessica had the slow cooked beef brisket. So delicious. We visited one other orchard that day then ate dinner at Jessica’s. Of course we had an MCK recipe – the Coconut Curry Chicken. […]
