THAI CURRY CHICKEN WITH SWEET POTATO

Thai Curry Chicken With Sweet Potato image

Chunks of chicken breast and sliced onions are sauteed in flavorful Thai green curry paste, then cooked in a creamy sauce made with cream cheese, sweet potato, and sliced bell peppers. The first time I made this with 3 tablespoons green curry paste, but that might be a bit too hot.
