There are so many people who are dealing with health issues and have adopted both gluten and dairy free lifestyles. ย I try to eat this way 80% of the time so incorporating healthy dinners is super important to our family routine.

This Chicken Potato Curry is even Paleo diet friendly – which focuses on whole foods that have been around for centuries. I promised you in the very beginning that I wouldn’t give you any bland recipes so I am keeping my promise with this one. You are bound to love it!

This Red Chicken Curry is full of many good-for-you ingredients and keeps your belly full and happy. Kids love this too because even though it is full in flavor, it has a perfect amount of mild spice. This recipe used a red curry paste, which can be found in the Asian section of the grocery store. You can also use green or yellow curry paste.

If you want to switch out the sweet potatoes, throw in some yukon gold potatoes and make a chicken potato curry. It would taste amazing as well!

    I made your recipe for our Easter dinner with our daughter and son-in-lawโ€™s family. It was a big hit!! I substituted dark brown sugar for the light brown sugar. (I like how dark brown sugar adds a rich flavor.) I took a taste before I added the topping and before I knew it the taste became a bowl!

  2. My wife and I love this recipe, but I am a recipe tinkerer. So I substituted shrimp for chicken, I made a simple stock with the shrimp shells by sautรฉing the shells in a splash of olive oil and a pinch of a salt until they pink up then adding water and simmering for 15 minuets then strained off. I substituted the water with the shrimp stock. Shrimp goes in at the very end and simmer until cooked through. Absolutely delicious.
