Instructions
Coconut Curry Chicken
- Begin by bringing your large skillet with olive oil to medium heat. Slice your chicken breasts into bite sized pieces and carefully place them into the skillet. Season with salt and pepper and cook until they are golden on the outside and completely cooked through the center.
- Use your tongs to remove the chicken from the skillet and set it onto a plate. Add your diced onion to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring, until the onions are fragrant, tender, and beautifully golden.
- Add the diced tomatoes and cook those for 3-5 minutes until they are tender and juicy, add the spinach and peas and cooke for another 3-5 minutes until your peas are tender. Add the broth, coconut milk, and spices. Stir and bring the entire contents of the pan to a simmer.
- Add the chicken into the skillet. Cover and allow this to simmer on low heat for 30 minutes or place it in your oven set to 350 for 30 minutes. This step allows the flavors to meld.
- While you wait on the curry, prepare your rice. Once the curry is done, serve it over a warm bed of rice and enjoy!
