Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
In a large oven-safe skillet or frying pan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
Sear the chicken thighs for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the chopped onion. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and curry powder to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to release the aroma of the spices.
Sprinkle the flour over the onion mixture and stir well to coat everything evenly.
Gradually pour in the chicken broth, whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Allow the mixture to thicken slightly.
Pour in the coconut milk and stir well. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.
Add the lemon juice to the sauce and season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
Return the seared chicken thighs to the skillet, skin-side up, and spoon some sauce over them.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C).
Once done, remove the skillet from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Serve the chicken with the rich curry sauce spooned over the top. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves if desired.
Pair the dish with steamed rice to soak up the flavorful sauce.
