Notes
- Absolutely! I’ve thrown in some cubed potatoes and broccoli florets before. It’s great with asparagus during the spring season as well. Any vegetable you add to this dish will take on the curry flavor so you’re safe!
- You can if you absolutely must! Here’s why… chicken thigh are way more flavorful than chicken breasts. They also have a high fat content so they are more tender. It’s easier to overcook chicken breasts which makes them not as forgiving as chicken thighs. But bottom line is yes, you can use breasts instead of thighs if you prefer!
