Steps:
- Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Season the chicken with salt and black pepper.
- Melt the coconut oil over medium-high heat in a large, ovenproof skillet. Add the chicken and sear on both sides until deeply golden brown. Transfer to a plate.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the bell pepper, leek, garlic, and ginger, and stir to combine. Cook for 2 minutes, until slightly softened.
- Stir in the curry paste. Cook for 5 additional minutes, stirring often. Slowly pour in the coconut milk while stirring to combine. Return the reserved chicken to the skillet.
- Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 25 minutes. The chicken will be fully cooked when a thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the chicken registers 165 degrees F, and the juices run clear. (Note: Smaller chicken breasts may be done closer to the 15-minute mark.)
- Top with cilantro. Serve with rice and fresh sourdough bread for mopping up the sauce if desired.

SPICY CHICKEN COCONUT CURRY
This is a recipe from the Food 911 show that Tyler Florence hosted on Food Network. This is a wonderful dish that makes a lot of sauce. I also prefer my food a bit spicier so I add hot curry powder rather than the regular curry and also extra red pepper flakes. This is great served over noodles, rice or just out of the bowl as a soup.

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.

Steps:
- Cook onion, garlic, curry paste, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in oil in a wide 2-quart heavy saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until onion is softened, 6 to 8 minutes.
- Add coconut milk and gently simmer, stirring frequently, until reduced to 2 cups, 20 to 30 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in lime juice, fish sauce, sugar, cayenne, cilantro (if desired), and salt to taste.
Tips:
- Use a good quality curry paste: This is the base of your curry, so it's important to use a good one. Look for a paste that is flavorful and has a good balance of spices.
- Don't be afraid to adjust the heat level: The amount of chili pepper you add to your curry is up to you. If you like spicy food, add more chili pepper. If you prefer a milder curry, use less.
- Use a variety of vegetables: This will add flavor and texture to your curry. Some good options include potatoes, carrots, bell peppers, and zucchini.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken should be cooked through, but it should not be dry. Overcooked chicken will become tough.
- Serve with rice or naan bread: This is the traditional way to serve curry. Rice or naan bread will help to soak up the delicious sauce.
Conclusion:
This spicy chicken coconut curry is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The curry is flavorful and creamy, with a nice kick of heat. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the vegetables are cooked to perfection. This curry is sure to please everyone at your table.
