Coconut Curry Chicken

Tuesday night's dinner:
Coconut curry chicken
Rice
Green beans with almonds
Moroccan green mint tea

This was a very easy and quick dinner. All the flavors went together well and they were very subtle. My mom isn't a fan of curry and she loved this dish. The mint green tea really pulled it all together nicely and added a nice refresher. We served the chicken over the rice.
