gluten free curried almond chicken

This dish was inspired by a curry recipe I saw in a Food and Wine Magazine.  I love the idea of adding nuts, fruit and coconut milk into curry, it really rounds out the flavor and adds texture.  It’s great served over rice or I like to eat it all by itself.  I hope you enjoy my rendition of gf chicken curry!

  • I actually used prunes instead of apricots and I couldn’t find my curry but i had everything else and it was very good !!

  • My son made this for dinner tonight. Absolutely fantastic. Great flavour and just enough heat. We haven’t had a bad meal from this site yet! Not that I would expect it. We are going to try the sauce over a pork roast very soon

  • Hi Michelle,

    This recipe sounds wonderful, but I’m not sure how much chicken to use since you specify “halved”. Does this mean I should use 4 whole breasts, split in half?

    Thanks
