Ingredients

• 6 pieces Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 large Yellow onion, finely diced
• 4 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1.5 tablespoons Fresh ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons Curry powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground turmeric
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoons Cayenne pepper (optional for heat)
• 1 can (13.5 oz) Coconut milk
• 0.75 cups Chicken broth or water
• 1 can (14 oz) Diced tomatoes
• 0.25 cups Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
• 4 cups Cooked basmati rice

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken thighs on both sides with 1 teaspoon of salt and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 2

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken thighs, skin-side down, and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the diced onion. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the curry powder, turmeric, cumin, and cayenne pepper (if using). Cook the spices with the onion mixture for 1-2 minutes to toast them and enhance their flavor.

Step 6

Pour in the coconut milk, chicken broth, and diced tomatoes. Stir well to combine, scraping up any browned bits stuck to the skillet.

Step 7

Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, submerging them slightly in the sauce. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 8

Lower the heat, cover the skillet, and cook for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.

Step 9

Remove the lid and cook for an additional 5 minutes to thicken the sauce, if needed.

Step 10

Stir in the chopped cilantro and fresh lime juice, adjusting seasoning with additional salt if necessary.

Step 11

Serve the curried chicken thighs over cooked basmati rice, garnished with extra cilantro if desired.
