Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, diced yellow onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon, freshly grated ginger
- 2 teaspoons curry powder
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 2 large, mashed ripe bananas
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 0.5 cup chicken stock
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (for garnish) fresh cilantro
- 4 cups (for serving) cooked white rice
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Sear the chicken in the skillet, cooking for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the diced onion, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
Stir in the curry powder, turmeric, and cayenne pepper, toasting the spices for 30 seconds to release their flavors.
Add the mashed bananas to the skillet, mixing well to combine with the spices.
Pour in the coconut milk and chicken stock, stirring to create a smooth sauce.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the chicken simmer in the sauce for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
Stir in the lime juice and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Serve the chicken hot over a bed of cooked white rice.
Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro and enjoy your Caribbean-inspired meal!
