Notes
Chicken - The recipe calls for cooked chicken, such as from a rotisserie chicken. Please plan accordingly. Or see the post above for how to substitute raw boneless, skinless chicken breasts here.
Update: Some readers have had an issue with curdling, so I've tweaked the recipe to help prevent that. I substituted low-sodium chicken broth for the milk I previously had in the recipe, and it works great. I also revised the recipe so the Greek yogurt gets stirred in at the very end, which should also help prevent curdling.
Serving: See below this post for details on serving ideas.
Leftovers: Leftover curry, once cooled, can be stored in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days. Reheat individual servings in the microwave until hot.
