Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts with fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken, searing on both sides until golden brown. Approximately 4 minutes each, however depending on size, times can vary.
- When browned, remove the chicken and set aside. Add the red onion, garlic and jalapeno, sauteing for 1 minute.
- Add the lime juice and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Allow the mix to soften, coming to a sofrito consistency, approximately 3 minutes.
- Add the ginger, yellow curry powder and cornstarch. The mixture will be dry and pasty, allow to brown for 1 minute or until the curry becomes fragrant.
- Stir in the coconut milk and cilantro. Bring to a low simmer.
- Place the chicken back into the sauce, adding the corn and basil. Spoon the sauce over the chicken. Simmer on low for 5 minutes, turning chicken half way.
- Serve with Cilantro-Lime Coconut Rice and a sprinkle of flake sea salt, such as Maldon.
