"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." - reginabyrdYield: 4 Ready in 50 minutes

Basil Chicken in Coconut-Curry Sauce Reviews

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
|
|
it tastes great, spice it up a bit more if you prefer..

|
This stuff is a amazing!!!!!

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.

I made this the other night & loved it. It needed some more spices, could do with more sauce too. I will be making it 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.
|
|
|
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.
