Description

This easy chicken curry recipe is a flavorful and comforting dish that comes together quickly for a satisfying meal. Tender chicken cooked in a fragrant blend of spices, tomatoes, and coconut milk, served over fluffy rice.


Ingredients

Chicken Curry:

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tablespoons curry powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 (14 oz) can diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

For Serving:

  • Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
  • Cooked rice

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil: In a large skillet over medium heat, add oil. Cook the onion until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Sauté aromatics: Stir in garlic and ginger; cook for another minute.
  3. Add spices: Add curry powder and cumin, stirring for 30 seconds.
  4. Cook chicken: Add chicken and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Simmer: Pour in tomatoes and coconut milk. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer covered for 15-20 minutes until chicken is cooked through and sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Serve: Serve hot over rice, garnished with cilantro if desired.

Notes

  • You can substitute Greek yogurt or cream for coconut milk for a richer version.
  • Add chopped spinach or peas during the last 5 minutes of cooking for extra nutrition.
