Cooking is not my strongest skill, and I think it’s important to start with that statement. If you asked me who was the better cook in my house, I would say Andrew because he is far more willing to spend hours in the kitchen and diligently follow a recipe to the T whereas I get bored and completely go rogue and give the whole thing up to God. That being said – when I got my first apartment in Philadelphia I had to learn how to cook something other than scrambled eggs. While on study abroad in Ireland, I had a ton of curry dishes that I really enjoyed which made it the one thing I really wanted to learn how to do when I got home. So, here is my super easy Creamy Curry Chicken recipe, hope you enjoy it!

-8 boneless chicken thighs (can also be skinless if you prefer!)
-16 oz sour cream or plain Greek yogurt-parsley
