Ingredients

• 6 pieces chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on or boneless)
• 0.5 cup orange marmalade
• 1 tablespoon curry powder
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 0.5 cup chicken broth
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
• 2 cups cooked white rice (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.

Step 2

In a large skillet or pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs, skin-side down if applicable, and sear for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set it aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the chopped onion. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Stir in the curry powder and cook for 1 minute to toast the spices and release their aroma.

Step 6

Add the orange marmalade, coconut milk, and chicken broth to the skillet. Stir well to combine and allow the mixture to come to a gentle simmer.

Step 7

Return the seared chicken thighs to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Let the chicken cook in the simmering sauce for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.

Step 8

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 9

Garnish the dish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve hot over cooked white rice.
