Easy and delicious dinner meals are my absolute favorite thing to make, and especially when they’re super flavorful like this easy chicken curry recipe. This chicken curry recipe was lightened up by using light coconut milk versus regular, full fat heavier coconut milks. I also used extra curry to make it extra flavorful as well!

Try this easy to make recipe for a quick and simple weeknight meal that’s sure to please. You can serve it by itself or over brown rice or cauliflower rice too to lighten up. As always, curry is gluten and dairy free, and packed with antioxidants and nutrients from the curry alone, but also from the veggies you choose to add in the making of the dish. I used onions, zucchini and peppers for the most part- onions are high in anti-cancer and antioxidant properties, and the zucchini and peppers are also a source of anti-inflammatory nutrients and fiber too. If you follow a lectin-free or low lectin diet you’ll want to switch out the zucchini and peppers for other veggies of your choice that are on a low/no lectin plan.

Enjoy this tasty recipe!
