Pantry-Friendly Thai Chicken Curry with Red Peppers

I have become absolutely OBSESSED with anything curry. Thai or Indian, I don't care, I love it. The flavors compliment each other so well every time and I can't get enough!

Any sauce composed of coconut milk and curry spices is going to be good and nothing is better "curried" than chicken. Oh man. The red peppers were a perfect addition to this dish as well. I really just loved it if you can't tell.

If you want to make something that will wow your family or friends this is it. I know there are people who are not fans of curry, (I used to claim to be one of them), but you've at least got to give this one a try. Because, yum.
