Instructions

  1. Place a large skillet over medium high heat with the coconut oil.
  2. Add the onion and red pepper sauté until fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the garlic and ginger and sauté for 30 seconds more.
  4. Add the chicken and curry powder and sauté until the chicken starts to turn golden brown, about 10 minutes.
  5. Add the diced tomatoes, chicken stock, coconut milk, tomato paste and salt and bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer to continue cooking until the chicken is fully cooked and the liquid thickens up.
  6. Taste, adjust seasoning as needed, add lime juice to season and serve over rice with cilantro and green onions and extra lime wedges.

Notes

  • Absolutely! I’ve thrown in some cubed potatoes and broccoli florets before. It’s great with asparagus during the spring season as well. Any vegetable you add to this dish will take on the curry flavor so you’re safe!
  • You can if you absolutely must! Here’s why… chicken thigh are way more flavorful than chicken breasts. They also have a high fat content so they are more tender. It’s easier to overcook chicken breasts which makes them not as forgiving as chicken thighs. But bottom line is yes, you can use breasts instead of thighs if you prefer!
