72 Reviews of Curry Chicken with Coconut and Peanuts

This is quite a delightful dish, with lots of sauce. I went half on the chicken on mine and substituted some vegetables in its place and that was nice. The beef bouillion was interesting, I hadn't seen that before, but you know, it worked! The wine was not overpowering in its amount since it reduced. The curry powder I think you could be variable on in amount; I think 3 tbsp. is probably moderate, but one could go heavier easier, or lighter if they wished. I used a mild Madras type but my husband complained that I didn't used a hotter curry powder but he likes it hot. The peanut butter is not overpowering, and if you like a heavier taste of peanut butter, as in Indonesian dishes, you might like to increase that, but even so, it was fine as it was. The thickener was dead on. The coconut milk lends a richness to the dish, of course; be sure not to use the sweetened type. I am interested to try this with shrimp sometime; also with other vegetables, as they go nicely. Great dish, great eats, nothing left but the smell in the kitchen. Thanks, Canarygirl!

My boyfriend made this for me to show me how easy a good curry can be to make and was he ever right! This came together so easily and we both loved the taste. Despite the amount of liquid, it all boiled down to a thick and spicy sauce. We added a few slices of red pepper, some mushrooms and a fresh hot chilli to bulk it out a bit. Thanks for a keeper!

Super delicious. My company loved the dish. I found that it was thick enough without having to use the cornstarch mixture. Also, I sprinkled some shredded coconut on top when serving. Not at all difficult to make. Highly recommended; I'll certainly do it again.

Add me to the list of rave reviews!! This curry was really wonderful. I usually eat Thai curries, and this one was such a nice change. Mellow, but flavorful with just the right amount of each ingredient to blend together flawlessly with every bite. I used Madras curry powder and two regular beef bouillon cubes. All the time you took to perfect this recipe really shines through and I will definitely add this to my regular dinner rotation. My BIL had never had any type of curry before and gave me funny looks as I was cooking it. Before he took a bit he curled his lips up in disdain, then the look turned to a big smile after he took a bite and he proceeded to eat THREE bowls. Nuff said. Thanks for sharing this recipe with us!

I made this recipe as stated and it received rave reviews! I wasn't sure what "a glass" of white wine would measure so I used one of the small bottles (6oz) and it was perfect. We decided next time to try adding 1/2 t. of allspice, 1/2 t. mace and cayenne pepper to taste just to give it a little more "punch". I served it with the Coconut Basmati Rice #54607 and what a GREAT combination. This has been entered into our "Family Favorties" Book! Thanks!

This was really good and an excellent way to start with curry. I had never made it before and my kids never eaten it. Was a hit definately a repeater. Next time I am going to add some green beans and maybe a carrot or potato like a thai curry. I will also look for a little more heat.

An excellent dish, extremely delicious yet so easy to make. The peanut butter and coconut milk really did the trick. The sauce was perfect without the need to be thicken with the cornstarch. Thanks for sharing your recipe.

fantastic! we totally loved this!! although, i did make a few changes: i only used 1 lbs of chicken, i added red bell pepper strips and minced serrano peppers, i used more curry powder and red curry paste, and i omitted the water and just used the white wine and coconut milk. i finished the dish off with sliced green onions and chopped peanuts. it was a perfect dish!! my husband couldn't stop raving about it while wolfing it down! thanks for the keeper canarygirl!!

This is the most amazing curry I've ever had, it's not the favorite recepie in the house and we can eat it twice a week and not get bored! Is erve this with Coconut Basmati Rice #54607 and the combo is absolutely amazing. This recepie outranks many curries I've had in authentic asian resturants. Thanks you so much for sharing this one, it's a real gem!
