- 1 medium yellow onion
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon ginger
- 1.5 tablespoons curry powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons ground turmeric
- 0.25 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk

- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 whole lime

Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and season them with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Add the chicken to the skillet, cooking for 5-7 minutes until browned on all sides. Remove the chicken and set aside.
Dice the onion, mince the garlic, and grate the ginger. Add them to the same skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Stir in the curry powder, ground cumin, ground turmeric, and cayenne pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes to toast the spices.
Pour in the coconut milk, chicken broth, and diced tomatoes. Stir well to combine.
Return the chicken to the skillet and simmer the curry for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce has thickened slightly.
Season the curry with salt and black pepper, tasting and adjusting as needed.
Chop the fresh cilantro and stir it into the curry. Squeeze the juice of one lime over the dish for a burst of brightness.
Serve the Hurry Curry Chicken over cooked basmati rice, garnished with additional cilantro if desired.
