Coconut Chicken Curry

This Coconut Chicken Curry is a simple, easy dish that can be done with less than 20 minutes. I love to make my own tortillas in my Thermomix to soak up the creamy coconut sauce from the curry. It is a rich, comforting dish made with tender chicken pieces simmered in a coconut milk sauce filled with warm spices.

When my husband and I travelled to Thailand a few years ago, we always enjoyed eating their coconut chicken curry. It is super easy to prepare but still feels like an elevated dish and makes dinner feel extra special.

With just a handful of ingredients like chicken, coconut milk, garlic, ginger, and curry spices, you can create a satisfying dish that tastes like it came from a restaurant. Serve it with fluffy rice and warm tortilla bread, and you have a comforting meal that everyone will enjoy.

With summer approaching, and life getting busy spending as much time outside, I needed a quick and easy recipe in my staples. This coconut chicken curry is one of them it’s simple but most importantly flavorful.

Ingredients You’ll Need:

• Chicken – is the main protein and can be made with boneless chicken thighs or chicken breasts. Thighs often stay juicier and add extra flavor.
• Coconut milk – creates the creamy base of the curry and gives the sauce a slightly sweet richness.
• Garlic and ginger – form the aromatic foundation of the dish and bring warmth and depth.
• Curry spices – such as curry powder, smoked paprika and curry paste add color and bold flavor.
• Tomato paste – for a hint of acidity that balances the coconut milk.

How Coconut Chicken Curry is Made:

• Cut the chicken breast in cube size pieces and marinate it with salt, smoked paprika and curry powder. Next add 2 Tbsp of sesame oil in a large skillet and set over medium-high heat, toss the chicken pieces into the skillet and cook for 3 minutes turning each side.

• Add the curry paste, tomato paste, butter, garlic, and ginger. Cook another 2 minutes.

• Pour in the coconut milk and cook 5-10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened. Do not overcook or the chicken will be dry and not tender and juicy.

• Make the tortilla and rice for soaking up the curry sauce. Serve and enjoy!
