Chicken Coconut Curry over Sorghum (Gluten Free)

In our home, we love curry, ethnic food a of any kind.  I try to make it as well as in the restaurants.  This recipe comes very close to one of our favorite restaurants in Portland Oregon called Thai Noon.  I used Sorghum, because not a lot of people use it.  It is a gluten free item and is great for you as well.  Full of nutrients and vitamins.

Here is the recipe.  Enjoy and have fun.
