Coconut Curry Chicken (Super Easy!)
Description
Coconut Curry Chicken combines chicken breast cubes sautéed with diced onion, red bell pepper, and garlic. Curry powder and ground ginger infuse the dish with warm spices before coconut milk is added to create a creamy sauce. Simmering the mixture briefly lets the flavors meld while maintaining tender chicken pieces.
The lime juice brightens the richness of the coconut milk, adding a subtle citrus tang that complements the spices. Fresh cilantro sprinkled as a garnish adds an herbaceous freshness and color contrast to the dish.
This curry is served over cooked white rice or cauliflower rice, offering a hearty base that soaks up the flavorful sauce. This option allows adaptation for lower-carb diets without changing the curry itself.

- 1 onion diced
- 1 red bell pepper diced

- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 13.5 oz coconut milk 1 can, full-fat
- 1 lime juiced

Instructions
