Coconut Curry Chicken image

A nice zippy chicken curry balanced out by the sweetness of coconut milk. This recipe is very basic and easy to customize to your taste. I have added hearts of palm, bamboo shoots, pineapple, mushrooms, onions or shallots...have fun with it!

Time 55m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 green onions, chopped
1 tablespoon curry paste, or more to taste
⅓ cup chicken broth
½ cup coconut milk
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
2 teaspoons chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of heavy plastic (resealable freezer bags work well) on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound the chicken with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a thickness of about 1/2 inch. Sprinkle the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over high heat, and pan-fry the chicken breasts until the meat is no longer pink, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken breasts to a plate.
  • Reduce the heat to medium; stir the green onions and curry paste into the skillet, and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently. Pour the broth into the skillet, and scrape up and dissolve any brown flavor bits in the skillet with a spoon. Bring the mixture to a full boil, and cook until the mixture has thickened into a glaze, about 10 minutes; pour in the coconut milk, bring back to a boil, and cook until thickened, about 10 more minutes. Mix the lime juice into the sauce, and stir in any juices that have collected from the chicken. Return the chicken breasts to the pan, spoon sauce over the chicken, and simmer until heated through, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with cilantro to serve.

This recipe is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. The coconut curry sauce is so good that they'll forget they're eating broccoli and cauliflower.

I'm not a fan of curry, but this dish was really good. The coconut flavor is not overpowering and the chicken is cooked perfectly.

This dish is a bit spicy, but it's so good that I don't mind. I usually add a little bit of yogurt to tone down the heat.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. It's also a great make-ahead meal. I just cook the chicken and make the sauce ahead of time, then reheat it when I'm ready to eat.
