I cannot believe I haven’t posted this yellow chicken curry recipe yet. It is one of our favorites, and I make it weekly. My husband and I love curry dishes, and never get tired of this yellow chicken curry recipe. I have perfected it over many years now, and wouldn’t change a thing about it. Made with a variety of vegetables, this yellow curry is healthy and comforting. Delicious, healthy, homemade meals are my kind of comfort food.
Speaking of comfort food, I would like to introduce you to The New Comfort Food. What is the New Comfort Food? Think of it as “out with the old, in with the new.” Traditionally, comfort food has gotten a bad rep as being unhealthy. The New Comfort Food is dishes that use mostly local, seasonal ingredients, minimal ingredients, and quick, easy steps that include fast prep time.
One reason this yellow chicken curry recipe is a favorite curry recipe of mine is because it is simple, yet flavorful. I am not a fan of recipes that call for ingredients I will only use once and throw away, or hard to find. I also don’t like using already made pastes. A few local and fresh vegetables, Foster Farms Simply Raised Fresh Chicken, and easy-to-find spices are used, and when simmered together the result is magical. Foster Farms Simply Raised Fresh Chicken is locally grown in California and the Pacific Northwest, and never uses antibiotics. The all natural chicken is American Humane Certified and raised without hormones or steroids.

I’m on it! Just got a ton of these ingredients in bulk at Winco and now just need to integrate recipes like this into my life!
OK, so where do the carrots, broccoli, zucchini and bell pepper get added? Step 4 or step 6?
