Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons curry powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 can (13.5 ounces) coconut milk
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 lime, cut into wedges (optional for serving)
• 4 servings steamed rice or naan bread (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear them for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the curry powder, ground cumin, and ground coriander. Cook the spices for 30 seconds to release their flavors.

Step 6

Pour in the coconut milk, chicken broth, and tomato paste. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 7

Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the curry sauce. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Garnish the curry with freshly chopped cilantro and serve hot with steamed rice or naan bread. Add lime wedges on the side, if desired.
