Quick & Easy Chicken Coconut Curry
Chicken cooked in a aromatic sauce flavored with curry powder, garam masala, ginger and coconut milk is one of my favorite easy chicken dinner recipes.
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1-1/2 to 2 lb chicken tenders cut in to chunks
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 Tbsp onion powder
- 2 Tbsp curry powder
- 1 Tbsp garam masala
- 1/2 tsp ginger powder
- 28 oz can of tomato sauce
- 13 oz can coconut milk
- 3 Tbsp sugar
- Parsley or cilantro for garnish
- Cooked rice to serve with it
- Any toppings you want
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large skillet with the minced garlic.
- Toss in the chicken tender chunks. Sprinkle the salt, pepper, onion powder, curry powder, garam masala and ginger powder over the chicken and stir it all together. (Yes, it’s a LOT of seasoning.)
- Let cook for a few minutes till the chicken has browned and the spices are aromatic.
- Pour in the tomato sauce, coconut milk and sugar and stir to combine well.
- Bring to a light boil then reduce the heat to medium, cover and simmer for about 25 minutes.
- Serve over cooked jasmine rice, (or your favorite cooked rice), and let your guests garnish with their favorite toppings.
Notes
*I have used a jar of tomato basil pasta sauce to replace the tomato sauce in a pinch!
