Simple Curry Chicken

Curry Chicken Recipe:

Ingredients:

• 1.5 lbs (about 700g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 2 tablespoons curry powder
• 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon coriander
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1-inch piece of ginger, grated
• 1 can (14 oz/400ml) coconut milk
• 1 cup (240ml) chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
• Cooked rice for serving

Instructions:

1. Marinate the Chicken:

   • In a bowl, mix the chicken pieces with curry powder, turmeric, cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

2. Cook the Chicken:

   • Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or pan over medium-high heat.
   • Add the marinated chicken pieces and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.

3. Sauté Aromatics:

   • In the same pan, add a bit more oil if needed. Sauté the chopped onion until translucent, then add minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

4. Combine and Simmer:

   • Add the browned chicken back to the pan with the sautéed aromatics. Pour in the coconut milk and chicken broth. Stir well to combine.
   • Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pan and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

5. Adjust Seasoning and Serve:

   • Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if necessary.
   • Serve the curry chicken over cooked rice, garnished with fresh cilantro if desired.
