Cozy Coconut Chicken Broth Bowl
This comforting bowl brings together tender chicken, fresh greens, and a creamy red curry broth for the perfect meal.
recipesbynani.comThere is nothing quite like a warm bowl of soup to make you feel right at home. I love this recipe because it feels fancy enough for guests but is simple enough to throw together on a busy weeknight.
My favorite trick for this dish is to make sure your chicken is nicely browned before you add the broth. That little bit of extra color adds so much depth to the final flavor.
