Ingredients

2 tablespoons coconut oil
1 onion, small dice
1 red belle pepper, small dice
4 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1 inch pieces
2 tablespoons curry powder
1 15 ounce can diced tomatoes
½ cup chicken stock
2 cups full fat coconut milk
1 teaspoon tomato paste
2 teaspoons salt
Lime juice to taste
Green Onions to garnish
Cilantro to garnish
White Rice for serving

Instructions

Place a large skillet over medium high heat with the coconut oil.
Add the onion and red pepper sauté until fragrant, about 5 minutes.
Add the garlic and ginger and sauté for 30 seconds more.
Add the chicken and curry powder and sauté until the chicken starts to turn golden brown, about 10 minutes.
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.
Taste, adjust seasoning as needed, add lime juice to season and serve over rice with cilantro and green onions and extra lime wedges.

Notes

Can I add vegetables to a curry?

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!

Can I use Chicken Breasts instead of Chicken Thighs?

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!
