Perfect weekday dinner with tender chicken and bell pepper in a tasty garlicky sauce!
Curries are so versatile and whenever I don’t know what to cook I rely on a curry to save my growling stomach! Chicken cooked to tender perfection with veggies and a delicious sauce on top of a mountain of rice. A satisfying and scrumptious treat, perfect for an easy weekday dinner! The green Thai curry paste gives the curry a nice little zing. Combined with the garlic, onion and dry sherry you end up in curry heaven.
The most authentic way to make this Asian curry would be to use Shaoxing rice wine. However, I hardly ever have it at hand, therefore I generally use dry sherry.
Do you have any other veggies in the fridge that need to go? Chop them up and throw ‘em in! This is the awesome part about curry – they are versatile and so easy to change up. Even if you use the same sauce, you will never get bored if you switch up your veggies and meats in them.
What are you waiting for? Make yourself a delicious Asian treat!
