Yellow Coconut Curry Chicken with Paleo Coconut Rice

Chicken, Recipes | January 29, 2015 | By

Thai food is my favorite but it’s not always the most paleo-friendly.  The spiciness of this curry finds its perfect balance with the smooth and sweetness of the coconut cream.  The delicious dish is served over delicately paleo rice infused with a hint of coconut.  If you’re a nut lover, add in ¾ cup of cashews!

    I’ve made this recipe so many times. It has the best flavor! We usually eat it like soup though. I add the whole can of coconut and 32oz of chicken broth. Yum, yum.
