Curried Coconut Chicken

Last weekend we had a group cooking fest at the house.  It was cooking couplegreat fun to have a few people in the kitchen each focused on their own task as we tackled 2 new recipes.  Yes, there were a few moments of chaos as we were flipping back and forth between recipes in the same cookbook, but everything turned out amazingly well!  Here’s one of the fabulous recipes we made.
