Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 inch piece ginger
- 2 tablespoons curry powder
- 400 milliliters coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 4 servings cooked white rice
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Finely chop the onion, mince the garlic, and grate the ginger.
In a large skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Sprinkle the curry powder over the onions, garlic, and ginger, and stir well to coat everything evenly.
Add the chicken pieces to the skillet, season with salt and black pepper, and cook for 5-6 minutes until the chicken is lightly browned.
Stir in the tomato paste and mix well, ensuring the chicken is fully coated.
Pour in the coconut milk and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro.
Serve the curry chicken hot over cooked white rice and enjoy!
