Yellow Curry
Yellow Curry is made with halved baby golden potatoes and cubed chicken cooked in a blend of yellow curry sauce, coconut cream, garlic, ginger, fish sauce, and water. The potatoes are boiled until tender before being combined with the other ingredients in a skillet to simmer and develop a rich, creamy curry with tender chicken pieces. Fresh cilantro garnish adds a bright finish to this comforting dish.

Ingredients
- 12 baby golden potato halved
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 yellow onion finely diced
- 1 ½ pounds chicken breast cut into 1 inch cubes, or thigh
- ¾ cup yellow curry sauce

- ½ cup water
- 1 tsp ginger fresh
- 1 tsp garlic minced
- 1 tsp fish sauce optional

Instructions
- First, add potatoes and enough water to cover them to a pot. Boil for 7 minutes, or until slightly softened. Drain, pat dry and carefully slice in half. Set aside.
- In a large skillet, add olive oil and diced onion. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes on medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
- Then, add chicken to the skillet. Cook for 3 minutes on each side.
- Add all remaining ingredients and halved potatoes to the skillet. Stir to combine.
- Bring to a light boil. Simmer for 20 minutes or until potatoes are tender and chicken is cooked through. Add more water to the skillet as needed.
- Finally, remove from heat. Serve with fresh cilantro if desired.

Notes
- Boil potatoes first to ensure they become tender and cook evenly in the curry.
- Add more water or curry sauce during simmering if the sauce becomes too thick.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days and reheat gently with added liquid.
