Curried Chicken with Couscous

This Curried Chicken with Couscous contains all of the classic chicken curry flavors – simplified and made healthier. This recipe features a creamy curry base made from coconut milk, tender chicken breasts, and sweet raisins is so deceivingly decadent you’d never guess it’s good for you.

If you’ve ever been intimidated by making a curry dish, this chicken curry recipe is a great place to start. It’s extremely simple, and the results are absolutely delicious. This is an excellent recipe to make and freeze in individual portions (freeze couscous in separate containers).

We cut the carrots into matchsticks, but you can also slice them into coins. Not a fan of cilantro? Feel free to omit the cilantro garnish or consider using flat leaf parsley instead.
