Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces, skinless and boneless Chicken thighs
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 large, chopped Onion
- 4 minced Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon, grated Fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons Curry powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1.5 cups Low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 cup Low-fat coconut milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 large, sliced Red bell pepper
- 0.25 cup, chopped Fresh cilantro
- 1 juiced Lime
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet or saucepan over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 5 minutes until the onion becomes soft and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the curry powder, ground cumin, and ground coriander to the skillet, stirring well to coat the onion mixture with the spices.
Place the chicken thighs in the pan, turning them to coat them in the spice mixture, and cook for about 3 minutes on each side until lightly browned.
Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth and stir in the tomato paste, mixing until the paste is fully dissolved.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, cover, and let it cook for 20 minutes, allowing the chicken to cook through.
Remove the lid and stir in the low-fat coconut milk, salt, and black pepper.
Add the sliced red bell pepper, cover again, and simmer for another 15 minutes, letting the flavors meld together.
Uncover the skillet, stir in the lime juice, and let the curry cook for an extra 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Garnish with the chopped fresh cilantro and serve warm over rice or with warm naan bread.
