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!
