This Eco-friendly Curry Chicken tastes just like a eco-friendly curry should - very aromatic and full of flavor. It's a creamy eco-friendly curry that isn't as full of calories as many others I've attempted because of the utilization of half coconut milk and half evaporated (a trick I learned in Thailand). Consists of healthy vegetables to have an excellent chicken curry you'll wish to serve both family and buddies. ENJOY!

If too salty for the taste, add another squeeze of lime juice. If too spicy, Or you'd like more sauce, add what's remaining of the can of coconut milk. Should you'd enjoy it sweeter, add a bit more sugar.

For any lighter eco-friendly curry: Simply substitute chicken stock for that evaporated milk. Add a bit more lime juice when taste-testing (to balance the saltiness), when needed.
