Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 can (400 ml) coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and sear on both sides until browned.
  4. Pour in the coconut milk, soy sauce, brown sugar, curry powder, and turmeric. Stir to combine everything beautifully.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to your liking.
  6. Cover and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
  7. Remove the chicken and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing to ensure it stays juicy.
  8. Return the sliced chicken to the sauce and simmer for another 5 minutes to soak up those wonderful flavors.
  9. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro to add a burst of freshness.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in soy sauce and garlic before cooking. You can also customize by adding vegetables or using firm tofu or shrimp instead of chicken.
