"I loved this recipe. My nephew got cream of coconut instead of coconut milk so this was a little sweet however, it was good with just a little bit of heat too it. I wouldn't mind keeping the sweet and adding more heat. I also think that it would be great over Quinoa if you didn't want rice." - reginabyrd

I made this tonight and loved it. I read the reviews beforehand saying to bland, added more spice, read it needed more sauce so I used another 4oz and heaps of sauce. Yes I used more chicken to but not 1 ingredient overpowered another. Great meal

Should have read the reviews first, the seasoning on the chicken was lovely but the sauce was so bland

It was ok, the coconut milk could have been sweeter and more spice for sure. It was all in all very bland as the recipe called to make it.

I thought it was a bit average. Needed a bit more seasoning but was ok. Will make it again with adjustments

This dish was very disappointing. Both my husband and I felt it was missing something! It's very bland and has only a mild curry flavor. Definitely wouldn't make it again.

This recipe was fantastic. Simple to make and so tasty. I'll definitely be making this again.

Def easy to make. I upped the coconut milk based on other reviews I like lots of sauce. I found all of the spices with no problem. Had to make a speical trip to trader joe's for the coconut milk local stores didn't carry it. I wasn't too impressed with it my hubby ate it but then again he'll eat anything. This is not going to be a regular in my house may make it once a year...maybe

I found it very bland, but I will try again next time adding more spices to the dish. I also added one diced potato to mine as I like potatoes in my curry.

Coconut sauce is a nice foil to the spice on the chicken. However found I needed to cook my chicken longer than what was listed on recipe to get rid of pink centers

I don't even know what some of those spices are but still found the dish to be quit good, better the next day.

bland, poorly written reciepe

This is a really quick and rewarding meal. Not very hot so I added another 2 spoons of mild curry to taste and that was just right! Will definitely make it again.

This dish is a definite keeper. Besides the heavy hand I had while putting in the chili powder this dish was a hit with my family.
1 years, 11 months, 3 weeks, 4 days, 21 hours, 59 minutes ago
This dish was easy to make and delicious. I love that you make your own curry powder, because you can alter things as needed. Definitely making this one again.
