This is a very easy recipe to make as it just cooks in your Dutch oven over the stovetop while you are free to do other things. I use my Milo Dutch Oven for this recipe.

But, if you are having a dinner party or have a large family, this recipe is perfect for serving a group. So, let me show you how to make Yellow Curry Chicken. Let's do this!

Tips
- I used my Milo Dutch Oven for this recipe. It's a 5.5 quart size, so this makes a lot of curry guys! Leftovers for days, which is always amazing. If you don't have a Dutch oven you can also use a pot with a lid or you can even do this in a slow cooker. But, I would highly recommend this Milo Dutch Oven.
- I used chicken thighs, but you can also use breasts if you prefer. I chose thighs here as they are more fatty and therefore have more flavor.
- The traditional Yellow Curry Chicken we get at our favorite Thai spot has potatoes, carrots, and broccoli. But, I also added mushrooms here for a little extra veggies. You can add in whatever else you like, or sub out veggies for ones you prefer.
- I serve this with white rice, as that is traditional. And, Delaney being from Maui and me being from the Midwest — white rice is just the best rice! We both grew up eating it, we both love it, and it's just what we eat. If you want to do brown rice or quinoa you can do that instead!
FAQ's
If you can't find this flavor bone broth, then you can use a regular chicken bone broth and add a little bit of thai spice into that. I recommend an organic Thai spice, start with 1 teaspoon, taste, and go from there.
I love serving this with Jasmin rice as that's traditional. But, you can also do brown rice, quinoa, or even serve it on its own as well.
