Chicken & Potatoes in Coconut Sauce
This dish is not very complicated to make, but will give you an array of flavors and colors. Key to keep it juicy, is the cook the chicken not longer than absolutely necessary. Dry chicken makes this dish (and any other dish for that matter) a whole lot less enjoyable. The coconut sauce is flavored with onion, bell pepper, mushrooms, curry, garlic and ginger. Use a hot curry if you like this Chicken with Potatoes in Coconut Sauce spicier.
