The.Best. Crave it, my go-to for carry over meal train dinners, ALWAYS double it!
I toss the chicken at the beginning & set aside till time for it. (I do like to brown the chicken apart from the onion/spice & combining them afterward) So versatile for add ins but perfect as is. Love this so much. It's a pan-licker!!

So simple for a weeknight dinner. Next time will probably add cauliflower or carrots or spinach.

I’m a believer! Try this recipe you won’t be disappointed. I doubled the recipe - used 2 onions - 6 garlic cloves - 2 diced red peppers and massaged the curry- salt - white pepper directly on chicken no ziploc required. Thx Table9

Just made CCCC for the first time (nice title). I added raisons, and liberal amounts of fresh lime juice, and naturally chutney. You simply can't go wrong with this recipe. Thank you Table9 for your wry sense of humor and a bang up recipe.

I have made this SO many times. It's excellent. I use chicken thighs b/c I just like them better than chicken breasts. Make enough for leftovers.

Easy and delicious. One of my 10-year-old's favorite dinners. Thanks for the recipe!

My curry blend already had a lot of turmeric so the additional tsp of turmeric made it bitter, however the lime at the end saved it. Next time, I won’t add the extra tsp of turmeric.

i made tonight - didn't have an onion so I used a big shallot. i also took spice mixture out of pan when I browned chicken (in 2 batches) - took chicken out of pot and then added coconut milk, then added spice mix, stirred it all together and added chicken back in and let simmer for 10 min - was sooo good!

I forgot to mention that I used 1 cup of coconut milk and used just enough hot water to loosen up the sauce--about a 1/2 cup.

I agree this is perfect as is. The only thing I would change is to slice the onions next time. I found the chopped onions melted into the sauce and didn't have any flavor on its own. Otherwise, the spice mix and the portions came out perfectly. I can't wait to make it again.

So good! It was quick and easy and my whole family loved it. There were no leftovers!
I didn't use turmeric as I didn't have any and I was bummed that I didn't have cilantro, but it was still really yummy. Will definitely make again.

This is a wonderful dish. Very flavorful and made with ingredients we usually have on hand. I added petite green peas and diced potato because we happened to have them available. Even my picky 10-year old enjoyed it! Great dinner for a chilly weeknight.

I am in love with this recipe. I did add fire roasted crushed tomatoes and cilantro to the soup during cooking (i always do, and it’s amazing), I also added chicken and shrimp! I served it over rice and devoured it in a matter of minutes. I love that this recipe is very flexible, it makes the house smell amazing. Will surely make this again!

This was very good and pretty easy to make. I substituted coconut oil for vegetable oil to get even more coconut flavor. I reduced water to 1/2 cup. Near end of cooking I added frozen green peas. We enjoyed this curry over brown rice garnished with toasted slivered almonds and plain yogurt. A very satisfying weeknight dinner.

Why does food 52 (which I love) promote unhealthy oils to cook with? Veg & canola oils eww. How about avocado oil or coconut oi?

Coconut oil is actually not as healthy as people make it seem it may be a popular oil to use but it is actually fairly high in saturated fat, which could increase your cholesterol. Canola oil is known for being a good anti-inflammatory so maybe they aren't as bad as you think :)

It’s a different kind of fat, lots of good stuff for brain. Besides canola & veg oils are not good for you. Most are GMO. Not in my pantry. Ghee is also a great option.

Medium chain fatty acids. Good for you NOT bad. So coconut oil is very god for us. does NOT elevate cholesterol.

"Coconut oil is about 90% saturated fat, which is a higher percentage than butter (about 64% saturated fat), beef fat (40%), or even lard (also 40%). Too much saturated fat in the diet is unhealthy because it raises "bad" LDL cholesterol levels, which increases the risk of heart disease"
