CHICKEN POACHED IN COCONUT CURRY



Chicken Poached in Coconut Curry image

This beautiful red curry is a Donna Hay recipe from Marie Claire's Food Fast cookbook. It is so easy to make and truly delicious. I've made this a few times now and find it easier to have all ingredients on hand - even the rice accompaniment ready to go on. I use my favourite rice recipe Never-Fail Rice #78118 to go with this lovely curry. I often sub turkey for the chicken. Don't let the coconut milk boil as it will separate - the flavour will be the same but the appearance, & texture will be different.
