This was a very tasty dish. Both my kids loved it! The curry was not overwhelming. Will definitely make it again!

Great dish it has become a favorite of my family. I marinated the chicken and froze it for later when I needed a fast dinner on a busy day. The flavors had time to develop which made it taste so good. This one is definetly a keeper.
