Enjoy these juicy, flavorful grilled chicken dishes with a side of cilantro chutney, mint chutney, or cilantro jalapeno sauce.
Indian Chicken Curry Recipes
Chicken curries are the such a good way to enjoy chicken. Since the meat is simmered in a flavorful gravy, it has so much time to get ultra tender and soak in tons of flavor from the seasonings! These curry recipes can be served over Jeera rice, saffron rice, or steamed basmati or jasmine rice. These chicken curries also pair extremely well with butter naan or garlic naan. You can also serve them over Indian cauliflower rice for a low-carb option!
