Thai Curry Chicken

Since the weather is getting colder each day, hubby wants to have something warm for dinner. I could not think of anything beside soup. It has been awhile since I make Curry chicken. My niece has brought me a Kaffir Lime plant as a gift. I decided to make Thai curry chicken.

It's a spicy, warm, and comfort food. This will well with French bread.


This is my bowl :-)

The Kaffir lime leaves gave this pot of curry chicken a very special aroma. I just loved it. This picture was taken after I added all the ingredients in. And then I will have it simmer for 20-25 minutes.

I made the whole big pot. Check out the finish product . Want a bowl and dip with French bread? :-)
