Chicken Coconut Curry
This chicken coconut curry is packed full of flavor. The sauce is lightly flavored with curry powder, coconut milk and topped with toasted almonds.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion diced
- ⅓ cup dried apricots chopped
- 1 pound chicken breast 1/2 inch slices, boneless skinless
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger grated
- 1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk full-fat
- 1-½ tablespoons curry powder
- 6 baby bok choy washed, ends trimmed, and thinly sliced
- ½ cup cilantro minced
- 2 cups basmati rice cooked
- ⅓ cup almonds chopped
Instructions
- Add a 12-inch high-sided skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons olive oil.
- When the oil is hot, add onion and saute for 5 minutes or until soft and translucent but not browned.
- Add the dried apricots and chicken and cook for 5 minutes.
- Add in garlic and ginger and stir to combine.
- Add in coconut milk and curry powder. Cook for 3 minutes over medium heat, reduce heat and simmer on low for 5 minutes.
- Add chopped baby bok choy and cook for 5 minutes until the greens are tender-crisp.
- Stir in minced cilantro.
- I like to dump in the cooked rice and stir to combine. If you prefer to top your rice, simply divide the rice between 4 bowls, top with curry mixture and garnish with chopped almonds..
