Day 7: What is the best meal you've had on the island

This one is hard for me. Cooking here has been hard for me. It's hard to make yummy, nutritious meals with the limited resources here. A lot of my standby recipes I made a lot when we lived in the states don't work here, so I've had to find a bunch of new ones that do work. Ben found this recipe for me to try and we've really liked it, so this is probably the best meal we've had here.

COCONUT CURRY CHICKEN
INGREDIENTS:
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 white onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken
breast halves - chopped
1 large potate, cubed
2 1/2 tablespoons yellow curry powder
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 (14 ounce) can unsweetened coconut
milk
1 Tbsp Lime juice
2 Tbsp brown sugar
1/3 cup chicken stock
salt and pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS:
1.Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion and garlic, and cook until tender. Mix in the chicken, and cook 10 minutes, or until juices run clear.
2.Mix the potato, curry powder and garlic salt into the skillet. Pour in the coconut milk, lime juice, brown sugar and chicken stock. Season with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to low. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, 30 minutes. Serve over rice.

**I add carrots and broccoli to this recipe with the chicken and we really like it that way
