Chicken curry is a favorite around here, and a big hit with the kids! The best part is that this can be made in under 30 minutes which makes it a perfect weeknight meal. Don’t be afraid to try it with your family. Although there is a ton of flavor, it is not spicy!
I like to pack my curry with vegetables that the kids love: carrots, zucchini, bell pepper, and onions. This is easily adaptable with any other veggies.
A few things about this recipe:
1. It can be made in even less than 20 minutes if you have precooked chicken. Some ways I cut out time to prepare this meal is to cook my chicken on a different day. For example, if I fired up the grill earlier in the week, I will gladly throw on a few extra chicken breasts to be refrigerated and later added to this meal.
2. This recipe can be made into a soup by adding broth. Done. I like mine without rice or any starches. I serve this to my family with my Coconut lime Quinoa.
3. This recipe is both Paleo and Vegan adaptable. Substitute chickpeas for chicken and use as a soup for my Paleo friends.
Enjoy!!!
