Ingredients

• 1 kg Boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 240 ml Plain Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Curry powder
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Onion
• 400 ml Canned coconut milk
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes (optional)
• 30 grams Fresh cilantro leaves
• 1 whole Lime

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix the Greek yogurt and curry powder. Add the chicken pieces to the bowl, stirring to completely coat the chicken with the yogurt mixture. Let marinate for 15 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.

Step 3

Mince the garlic cloves and grate the fresh ginger. Dice the onion.

Step 4

Heat olive oil in a large skillet or pan over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until softened, approximately 5 minutes.

Step 5

Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan and cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant.

Step 6

Increase heat to medium-high and add the marinated chicken along with all the yogurt marinade to the pan. Cook until the chicken begins to brown, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 7

Pour in the canned coconut milk, and stir well to combine. Season with salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes (if using).

Step 8

Reduce heat to low, cover the pan, and let the mixture simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

Step 9

Chop the cilantro leaves and cut the lime into wedges.

Step 10

Serve the curried chicken hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and lime wedges on the side.
