Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 large yellow onion
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 4 garlic cloves
- 1 inch piece fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons curry powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 14-ounce can canned coconut milk
- 1 14-ounce can diced tomatoes
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 lime
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Finely chop the onion, mince the garlic, and grate the ginger.
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the curry powder, cumin, coriander, turmeric, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to the skillet, stirring to coat the onion mixture evenly in the spices.
Add the chicken pieces to the skillet, cooking for about 5-7 minutes until the chicken is browned on all sides but not fully cooked through.
Pour in the canned coconut milk and diced tomatoes, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for about 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
Chop the cilantro and cut the lime into wedges.
Once the curry is ready, remove it from the heat. Stir in the chopped cilantro.
Serve hot with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the curry.
