- 1 lb chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons curry powder
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
- 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish
- Cooked rice, to serve
Gather all the ingredients. Cut the chicken into bite-size pieces and finely chop the onion. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned on all sides, then remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the chopped onion. Sauté until soft and translucent. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for another minute until fragrant.
Add the curry powder, turmeric, and cumin to the skillet. Cook, stirring constantly, for about 1 minute. Add the diced tomatoes, including the juice, and stir to combine.
Return the chicken to the skillet. Pour in the coconut milk and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for 20-25 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro and warm cooked rice.
