Delicious Chicken Curry with Coconut Milk

This chicken curry recipe is full of flavor and has a creamy, coconut milk-based sauce. It's easy to make and perfect for a weeknight dinner. Serve it over rice or with some naan bread for dipping.

Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for extra heat)
  • 1 can (13.5 ounces) coconut milk
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions:

  1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until it is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the chicken to the saucepan and cook until it is no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the garlic, curry powder, cumin, turmeric, coriander, and cayenne pepper (if using) to the saucepan and stir to coat the chicken and onions. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Stir in the coconut milk, chicken broth, tomato paste, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
  5. Stir in the chopped cilantro and serve the curry hot over rice or with naan bread.

Tips:

  • For a spicier curry, increase the amount of cayenne pepper or add some chopped fresh chilies to the sauce.
  • You can also add some vegetables to the curry, such as bell peppers, carrots, or peas. Just add them along with the chicken in step 2.
  • If you prefer a thicker curry, you can mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water and stir it into the sauce in step 4. This will help to thicken it up.
