Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Onion
- 3 units Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Ginger
- 2 tablespoons Curry powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Cilantro
- 1 unit Lime
Instructions
Begin by dicing the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Finely chop the onion, mince the garlic cloves, and peel and grate the ginger.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion, garlic, and ginger to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent.
Stir in the curry powder, ground turmeric, cumin powder, and coriander powder. Cook for an additional minute until the spices become fragrant.
Add the diced chicken to the skillet, and stir to coat the chicken in the spice mixture. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the chicken begins to brown slightly.
Pour the coconut milk and chicken broth into the skillet, and stir well to combine.
Season with salt and black pepper, then bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Chop the cilantro and cut the lime into wedges.
Once cooked, remove the curried chicken from the heat and garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice just before serving.
Serve the savory curried chicken warm over rice or with a side of steamed vegetables.
