Easy Chicken Curry with tomato sauce

Chicken curry is another dish that my husband love to eat in the Philippines. The only thing is, he won't eat this with just plain rice, it has to be fried rice. But now that I have been watching his eating habits, I got to talk to him to try this dish with brown rice. It was a quick switch, he even ask for more  rice. You can  make this with bell peppers and carrots. From my collections... to yours....

2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
1 tsp salt and pepper, or to taste

1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk

  1. It's my first time to try this recipe and I was surprised how the combination of stewed tomatoes and tomato sauce blends with the curry sauce. The sugar gave it an added sweet taste than a usual curry dish I'd tried before. For a little kick, I added some pepper flakes. This is good also for potlucks
