Indonesian-Style Chicken Curry image

Another find from my favourite paper, Weekly Times. I used chicken breast's as the family do not like chicken thigh. This curry is not too hot or spicy, with a beautiful sauce that clings to the chicken. This is a great meal to serve with rice.

This curry was easy to make and so flavorful! I used chicken thighs and they turned out so tender. My husband and I both loved it.

This Indonesian-style chicken curry was a hit with my family! The flavors were complex and delicious, and the chicken was cooked to perfection. I will definitely be making this again.
