Chicken curry is a famous dish that originated in South and Southeast Asian countries. Although there are many variations in the cooking method, they share common ingredients which include whole and powdered spices that give the dish distinct flavor.
This recipe uses chicken breasts with no bones. It’s actually a family favorite and one of the few meat dishes I cook that my kids love. The aroma and taste of this chicken curry is so good, you’ll likely to get a second helping. 🙂
