Thai Curry Chicken

Submitted by Cooking with KB

"I have been on the look-out for a Thai Curry Chicken recipe since we cannot go to a Thai restaurant due to nut allergies in our home, so I came up with this one. We love this dish. We don't make it very spicy but you certainly can by increasing the red curry paste. My son loved it and especially loved the bamboo shoots. Enjoy."

Easy Recipe to follow. My dish did not have much taste for being curry chicken. I would suggest putting at least 1.5-2 cups of curry paste.
