Super easy and quick chicken curry! Full fat coconut milk can be a little heavy and loaded with calories and fat, so I did half lite coconut milk and half full fat coconut milk. If you don’t love spice, start with 2 tablespoons of the curry paste and test it out. Hope yall LOVE this curry just as much as I do!!
