Chicken with Coconut Curry and Cilantro

This recipe is part Indian, part Asian, part me. I don’t like sticking to traditional ethnic recipes. It’s okay to modify recipes to your personal liking. If it tastes good and looks good to you, then it is good! You are the one who is going to eat it, so enjoy!
