Healthy Chicken & Potato Curry (dairy-free, gluten-free, sugar-free)
MY SPECIAL RECIPE
I’m so excited to share my special chicken curry recipe on the blog today. This is without doubt my favorite chicken recipe – EVER. I’ve been making this chicken curry recipe for years (since I was about 15), and have shared it with many family & friends over the years…
I’m actually pretty surprised that I’ve never shared this recipe on the blog before now – but hey, better late than never!
This healthy chicken & potato curry is so super easy to make, full of flavor, and it’s free from any processed or unnatural ingredients. It’s also totally dairy, sugar and gluten-free.
It’s the perfect meal to make for dinner on a chilly evening – or for a big group of friends on the weekend.
I hope you love it as much as I do! xo
