Chicken Curry Stew Hawaii
Ingredients:
– 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 onion, diced
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 tablespoons curry powder
– 1 teaspoon turmeric
– 1 teaspoon ground cumin
– 1 teaspoon ground coriander
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
– 1 cup chicken broth
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce
– 1 tablespoon brown sugar
– 1 red bell pepper, diced
– 1 cup diced pineapple
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Fresh cilantro, for garnish
Instructions:
1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
2. Add the chicken pieces to the pot, and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-6 minutes.
3. Stir in the curry powder, turmeric, cumin, coriander, and paprika, coating the chicken and onions with the aromatic spices. Allow the spices to toast for about 1 minute to enhance their flavors.
4. Pour in the coconut milk, chicken broth, soy sauce, and brown sugar, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
5. Add the diced red bell pepper and pineapple to the pot, stirring well to incorporate the fruity sweetness into the savory curry stew. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Simmer the stew for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
7. Once the stew has reached your desired consistency, remove it from the heat and let it sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together even more.
8. Serve the Chicken Curry Stew Hawaii hot, garnished with fresh cilantro for a burst of fresh flavor. You can enjoy this delightful dish on its own or over a bed of fluffy rice to soak up the delicious sauce.
