2½ teaspoons mild curry powder
1½ teaspoons kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

BAKED COCONUT CURRY CHICKEN



Baked Coconut Curry Chicken image

This is a great fall/winter recipe. I don't use my oven in the summer for obvious reasons. Letting boneless chicken marinate in either sour cream or plain yogurt makes it really tender and almost fluffy. You can really customize this recipe to your liking--it's more of a method than a recipe.
