Healthier Chicken Curry

Curry. Is there anything better? My mom makes the BEST Yellow Chicken Curry. It’s actually pretty easy to make and it’s perfect for meal prepping because it makes a big batch and stays good for at least a few days…you can even freeze it if you want. As a bonus, this curry is pretty healthy and I usually make a few adjustments to make it even healthier! It’s only 160 calories per serving (2/3 cup) and it’s filling, protein packed (16 grams per serving) and really yummy!

P.S. recipe cred to my mom for the original/un-modified version. Love you mom!
