THAI CHICKEN CURRY

This homemade Thai chicken curry is a flavorful and delicious dish that's easy to make and tastes like it came straight from a restaurant. It's made with tender chicken, colorful vegetables and simmered in a rich coconut red curry sauce. This dish is perfect for a weeknight dinner, and you can use any leftover vegetables you have on hand. Serve it with steamed rice for a complete and satisfying meal that everyone will enjoy. It is definitely better than what you'd get when eating out. I always order Thai chicken curry when I visit Thai restaurants and now I make my own version at home that is more delicious.
