My brother was raving about this delicious Coconut Lime Chicken Curry that his family makes. I just had to get the recipe and try it out. Turns out, it IS a super tasty recipe and surprisingly quick and easy to make. 🙂  I’m not very familiar with chicken curry, but this recipe definitely impressed us and we’ll be making it again.
Serve the chicken curry over steamy rice and enjoy!
Update:Â If you want a quick side dish of naan to help soak up the curry sauce, try making some BAKED FRY BREAD. It’s not exactly naan, but still delicious and so easy to make!Â
