Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs boneless chicken thighs
- 2 tbsp curry powder
- 4 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1 inch fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 can (14 oz) full-fat coconut milk
- 1 medium onion, sliced thinly
- 1 cup bell peppers (red or yellow), diced
- 2 tbsp oil for sautéing
Instructions
- 1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine chicken thighs, curry powder, crushed garlic, grated ginger, and soy sauce. Mix well and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- 2. Sauté Aromatics: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onion and diced bell peppers. Sauté until soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
- 3. Brown the Chicken: Add marinated chicken to the skillet. Cook until golden brown on both sides, approximately 8 minutes.
- 4. Create the Sauce: Pour in coconut milk while scraping any bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir to combine and bring to a gentle simmer.
- 5. Simmer: Cover and let simmer for about 20 minutes until chicken is cooked through and tender. For a thicker sauce, remove lid during the last few minutes.
- 6. Serve: Transfer to plates or serve from the skillet. Drizzle extra coconut milk over top if desired.
