Green Thai Chicken Curry

When you have allergies some foods sometimes seems like it is beyond reach.  This is especially true when it comes to Asian Cuisine that uses a variety of great ingredients, but some of which will actually kill me.  It is for this reason that I’ve adapted the recipe for a Green Thai Chicken Curry.
