Donal's Notes

A speedy and unapologetically unauthentic version of a Thai chicken curry. This stew can easily be made ahead, making it ideal for some get-ahead cooking; just make sure you reheat it really well. Add some sweet potato to the mix once the chicken is browned off or serve with rice for a complete meal.
