Easy Chicken Curry

Easy Chicken Curry is a warm, spicy dish you can enjoy over a fresh bed of rice or on its own.  With cayenne, paprika, and a host of other spices, this healthy lunch option definitely comes with a kick…and some heat!  I recommend pouring the end result over jasmine or brown rice.
