Description

This fragrant peanut chicken curry is a delightful and easy-to-make dish, perfect for a weeknight dinner. I've been making this recipe for my family for years, and it's always a hit! The combination of creamy coconut milk, savory peanut butter, and a hint of spice from the sriracha creates a truly irresistible flavor. The chicken thighs stay incredibly tender, and the addition of green beans and red pepper adds a lovely freshness. Serve it with rice and a squeeze of lime for a complete and satisfying meal. It's also great for meal prepping!
