Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 2 teaspoons mild curry powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 0.25 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 cups cooked jasmine rice (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic and ginger. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the curry powder and turmeric, allowing the spices to bloom for 30 seconds.
Add the honey, soy sauce, lime juice, and chicken broth to the skillet. Stir well to combine and create the glaze.
Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, coating them with the glaze. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the chicken simmer for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and the glaze has thickened.
Garnish the chicken with chopped cilantro and serve hot over jasmine rice, if desired.
