Garlic Chicken in Coconut Curry Sauce Recipe

This is a recipe that I found on Skinnytaste and altered to my liking. You can also use shrimp as the original recipe calls for and it’s just as or even more delicious. I added curry powder for more flavor and corn starch to make the sauce a little thicker. I would classify this dish as a fusion of Thai and Indian cuisines. The combination of the curry powder with coconut milk and tomato sauce gives a strong flavor and heavy aroma, while the lime juice really adds some zing.
