Filipino Chicken Curry
by

My husband and I celebrated our 3rd year anniversary this week. We went to our favorite Mexican restaurant in Capitol hill called the Saint for happy hour drinks and food. The next day, I made chicken curry for dinner – Filipino style of course! Filipino-style chicken curry is a modified version of “ginataang manok” or chicken cooked in coconut milk. The difference is the addition of spices (curry powder) and vegetables (potatoes and bell pepper).

There are many variations in cooking chicken curry in the Philippines – especially since our country is made up of seven thousand islands and diversity is always a factor. This recipe came from my mom and I trust her completely when it comes to cooking, since she only cooked for a family of five for many years, and our home was always the favorite hang out of friends and family because of mom’s delicious cooking.
