Special Chicken Curry
Ingredients:
– 1 ½ lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
– 1 large onion, finely chopped
– 3 cloves of garlic, minced
– 1-inch piece of ginger, grated
– 1 red bell pepper, diced
– 1 can (14 oz) of diced tomatoes
– 1 can (13.5 oz) of coconut milk
– 2 tablespoons curry powder
– 1 teaspoon cumin
– 1 teaspoon coriander
– ½ teaspoon turmeric
– ½ teaspoon paprika
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh cilantro for garnish
– Cooked rice or naan bread for serving
Instructions:
1. In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat some oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
2. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet, and cook for another minute until fragrant.
3. Stir in the diced red bell pepper and cook for a few more minutes until slightly softened.
4. Push the vegetables to the side of the pan and add the chicken pieces to the center. Cook until they are no longer pink on the outside, about 5-7 minutes.
5. Sprinkle the curry powder, cumin, coriander, turmeric, and paprika over the chicken and vegetables. Stir to coat everything evenly.
6. Pour in the diced tomatoes with their juices and the coconut milk. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
7. Cover the skillet or pot with a lid and let the curry simmer for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
8. Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the spices if needed.
9. Remove the curry from the heat and garnish with fresh cilantro.
10. Serve your Special Chicken Curry hot over fluffy rice or with warm naan bread on the side. Enjoy the wonderful blend of flavors and aromas!
