Coconut Chicken Curry

I'm on a blog/facebook/email/internet burnout these days, so when I actually get an itch to blog, I have to take it and run with it. Every once and a while I run into a new recipe that I not only label a "keeper," but I continue to think about days later. This is one of them:

Coconut Chicken Curry


Curry has not been a favorite of mine, so it's a big deal that I still drool at the thought of this dish. It's a crockpot recipe, which gives it extra points in my book. The recipe is so easy I can tell you the basics off the top of my head:
- browned boneless, skinless chicken breasts (I cut them into 2-3 in. chunks)
- 1 cup light coconut milk
- 2 Tbsp. curry powder
- 2 medium potatoes, diced

Dump it all in the crockpot and cook on low at least 5 hrs. That's the general idea. Serve over rice, and waa-laa!

This came from my all-time favorite food magazine/website, Taste of Home's Healthy Cooking. They always have fun stuff to try: tonight I tested out their Spinach Feta Frittata and tomorrow it'll be their Apricot-Glazed Salmon. Fun times. I'm no chef: my goal is to not burn or ruin any expensive food. Sounds easy, right? Ha.

Your comment about cooking abilities reminds me of HS and forgetting to put eggs in the brownies. :) However, I know firsthand your skills have totally improved since then! I love the recipe box you gave me and will have to try this one out and add it to it. Sounds SO yum!
