Chicken and Vegetable Coconut Curry
Coconut milk is one of favorite ingredients and it makes a wonderful base for a mild curry sauce. This recipe is very versatile; you can use whatever veggies you have on hand (I like to make sure there are at least 2-3 different colors so it looks pretty - obviously I used peas-instead of green beans in the photo) You can use almost any type of meats well - Ive used diced sausage, ground beef and leftover turkey in place of the chicken. Substituting chickpeas for the meat makes satisfying vegetarian version of this dish.
