Ingredients

• 6 pieces chicken thighs (boneless, skinless)
• 4 pieces potatoes (medium-sized)
• 1 can (400 mL) coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 piece onion (medium, chopped)
• 3 pieces garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 tablespoon ginger (minced)
• 1 tablespoon curry powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon turmeric
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Peel and cube the potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Set them aside in a bowl of cold water to prevent browning.

Step 2

Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large, deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Add the chicken thighs and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the chopped onion. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.

Step 6

Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet, stirring for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 7

Sprinkle in the curry powder, cumin, and turmeric. Stir for another minute to toast the spices.

Step 8

Pour in the chicken broth and deglaze the pan by scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.

Step 9

Add the coconut milk, stirring well to combine.

Step 10

Drain the potatoes and add them to the skillet, followed by the browned chicken thighs.

Step 11

Cover the skillet and simmer over low heat for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and the chicken is cooked through.

Step 12

Uncover the skillet and stir in lime juice. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.

Step 13

Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
