Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, freshly grated
- 2 tablespoons Curry powder
- 1 cup Coconut milk, full-fat
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 4 cups Cauliflower rice (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Cut the boneless, skinless chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
In a large skillet or pan, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat.
Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until it becomes soft and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and freshly grated ginger, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the curry powder to the pan, stir well to combine with the onion mixture, and cook for another minute to release the flavors.
Add the chicken pieces to the pan, stirring well to coat them with the curry mixture, and cook for about 5-6 minutes until lightly browned on all sides.
Reduce the heat to medium and pour in the full-fat coconut milk and chicken broth, stirring to combine.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Stir in the lime juice, salt, and black pepper, adjusting seasoning to taste.
Remove from heat and garnish the dish with freshly chopped cilantro.
Serve the Keto Savory Curried Chicken hot, either on its own or over cauliflower rice for a low-carb option.
