Easy Coconut Curry Chicken

Make a full Southeast Asian-inspired meal by serving fresh spring rolls, Thai salad with peanut dressing or tofu salad. An Indian flatbread like naan or chapati would be perfect for serving on the side to sop up any leftover coconut curry sauce.

Ingredients :
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh gingerroot
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon red curry paste
  • 2 teaspoons curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 3 tablespoons lime juice
  • Hot cooked rice, for serving
  • Chopped peanuts, cilantro and lime wedges for serving
Directions :
  1. Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven to medium heat. Add onion; cook 4-5 minutes or until soft. Stir in ginger and garlic; cook 30-60 seconds or until fragrant. Stir in red curry paste, curry powder, coriander, salt, pepper and cayenne. Add chicken and broth. Cover; simmer over medium-low heat until chicken easily falls apart, 25-30 minutes. Use two forks to shred chicken.
  2. In a small bowl, mix coconut milk and cornstarch until smooth; stir into cooking juices with lime; simmer another 5 minutes. Serve over hot cooked rice; top with chopped peanuts, cilantro and lime wedges if desired.
