"Tender chicken in a delicious coconut sauce. Perfect for a weeknight meal 'cause it's quick and easy but tastes divine. I like subtle flavors, so if you like it spicy you'll want to increase the spices. Serve over rice. (BY THE WAY, don't feel bad about opening the chili packet for just a 1/4 teaspoon. I keep an opened packet on hand all the time for seasoning vegetables. Give it a try on corn on the cob, delicious!)"

This chicken dish was enjoyed by DH and I. I served it over jasmine rice and had roasted asparagus as a side. It had a great flavor combo, and the coconut milk was a perfect touch. Thank you!

Very yummy. Quick to fix, and both DDs (4 & 1) gobbled it up. Good blend of flavors with the spices and coconut milk. If you simmer the sauce too long, it reduces, so be careful or you could end up with less sauce.
