Key Ingredients In Our Easy Chicken Curry Recipe

• Chicken
• Sweet onion, mini peppers and garlic
• Curry Powder
• True Made Foods Veggie Ketchup
• Coconut Milk
• Rice for serving

We actually used rice in a few dishes this week. I love using rice when I am meal-prepping! I typically make a big batch on Sunday using our rice cooker and toss it in the refrigerator and use it through the week. This week we used rice in the Sweet Kale Salad Fried Rice, Greek Chicken Bowls, and of course in this curry recipe.

I also used chicken a few times this week. And I do the same thing! Meal prep! You can buy a rotisserie chicken and use that, feel free to bake a few chicken breasts on Sunday or Monday and use them through the week. You can also make a big batch of shredded chicken. Whatever makes things a bit easier at meal time is a win in my book.
