chicken coconut curry

Slow Cooker Coconut Curry

chicken,

white onion, diced

tbs minced ginger

tbs minced garlic

tomato paste

1.5 tbs garam masala

tbs curry powder

tsp salt

tsp pepper

coconut milk

tomato sauce

In a slow cooker add the ginger, garlic, tomato paste, gram masala, curry powder, salt, pepper, coconut milk, and tomato sauce whisk to combine the ingredients. Now add the cubed chicken and onion, stir well.

Cook on LOW for 6 hours or HIGH for 4 hours (or until chicken is cooked)

Once cooked stir well and serve. I like to serve mine over a bed of white rice and naan bread on the side.

This healthy coconut chicken curry stew is one of my favorite chicken dinners! It's made with light coconut milk, carrots and peas. I add in fresh cilantro and maple syrup at the end for a pop of fresh flavor.

Chicken Coconut Curry

curry powder, divided

salt, divided

½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized cubes

coconut oil

yellow onion, chopped

garlic

can “lite” coconut milk

chicken broth

potatoes

carrots

celery

peas

cilantro

Sprinkle 1 teaspoon curry powder and ¼ teaspoon salt over the chicken and toss to coat. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large Dutch oven or Soup pot over medium high heat. Add chicken and brown, stirring once or twice until mostly browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate. It will continue cooking in a later step.

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the pot and add the onion and garlic. Cook, stirring often until the onions are starting to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons curry and cook, stirring until fragrant but not browned, 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Add coconut milk, broth, potatoes, carrots, celery and the remaining ½ teaspoon salt and bring to a boil over high heat, stirring often. Reduce heat to medium-low to maintain a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes and carrots are tender, 10 to 12 minutes.

Stir in the chicken and peas, increase heat to high, and continue cooking until the chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes longer. Stir in cilantro and maple syrup.

This is one of our favorite weeknight recipes!

This curry is terrific! And so good to know I can make extra and freeze it!

Perfect warming flavors are enhanced with that sweet syrup!

It was awesome!! Thanks for sharing! 
I made extra for lunches!

I've been making this recipe since the February 2013 edition of Eating Well.  I like it better the second day, so often I make it the day before.  Warm flavors. 

Came together quickly for a comforting weeknight meal! Will defiantly make again 

An aromatic, flavorful, and complete meal! I meal prepped it for nourishing and filling lunches all week! Highly, highly recommend.

Just tried this meal last night and it turned out AMAZING...my husband told me 4 times after the meal how great it was! And the flavoring of the chicken really adds to the plate while the veggies give a tasty variety.

We will be making this more often - especially for this winter.

Wonderful dish, Katie. Thank you for sharing!

Followed the recipe and directions with just slight variation. Came out pretty good! I enjoyed it ALOT. It was flavorful and cooked thoroughly and just right. The 1/4 teaspoon of salt is not enough (imo) for the chicken or the broth. I had to add more to both. Didn't have cilantro but used 2 dried bay leaves instead. Once I added back the chicken and let it simmer, the flavor came through. I've tried making this before and wasn't successful. This was the best I've done coconut curry chicken. Thank you!

This Summery Chicken Coconut Curry is loaded with fresh, healthy summer vegetables and lean, tender chicken. The fragrant coconut curry sauce is crazy delicious!

Summery Chicken Coconut Curry

½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breast

egg egg

rice vinegar

corn starch

extra virgin olive oil

corn (kernels cut from cobs)

zucchini

butter

garlic (peeled and finely grated or chopped)

brown sugar

Tha curry paste

curry powder

fish sauce

red bell pepper

jasmine rice (for serving)

Cut chicken into thin, bite-size slices. Combine egg white, corn starch and rice vinegar in a medium-size bowl and whisk with a fork until well combined. Add chicken and stir well to coat. Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes while preparing the curry.

For the chicken:

Heat a medium-large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the olive oil and swirl to coat the pan. Add the sliced zucchini, the corn and ½ teaspoon kosher salt. Cook for 2 minutes, just until crisp-tender, stirring occasionally. Remove veggies to a bowl or plate, cover and set aside.

For the corn and zucchini:

Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the butter to the pan and swirl until melted and bubbly. Add the garlic, ginger, brown sugar, curry paste and curry powder. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally until nice and fragrant.

Add the chicken broth and fish sauce, stir well and bring to a boil. Add the potatoes, return to a moderate boil and cover. Cook for 7-8 minutes or until the potatoes are just beginning to soften. (They’ll cook more after the coconut milk is added.)

Add the 2 cans of coconut milk, stir and return the mixture to a moderate boil. Cook uncovered for 6-8 minutes until sauce begins to thicken a bit. Try one of the potatoes. They should be nice and tender. If not cook a minute or two longer. Taste the sauce and add a pinch of salt, if needed.

Add the chicken and peppers, leaving any extra marinade in the bowl. Stir well to separate the chicken slices. Return to a boil, cover the pan and turn off the heat. Allow the pan to sit, undisturbed for 10 minutes then serve in bowls with rice, topped with prepared veggies (warm in the microwave if desired), cashews, lime wedges and fresh herbs

For the curry:

Warming and satisfying, this one-pan coconut curry chicken is an easy 30-minute dinner!

One Pan Coconut Curry Chicken

olive oil

chicken breast

broccoli florets,

sweet onion, finely diced

garlic, grated

ginger ((or about 1 teaspoon ground dried ginger))

Thai red curry paste,

curry powder (optional)

(13.5 coconut milk

(15.5 ounce) can garbanzo beans

lime juice

salt black pepper,

Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

When the oil shimmers, add the chicken to the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes, or just until browned on the outside. Don’t stir the chicken too frequently, since you want to give it time to sit in the skillet and get a nice brown exterior. The chicken doesn’t need to be cooked through at this point (since it will continue cooking with the rest of the ingredients), so you’re just looking for some color on the outside to add flavor.

Season the chicken with some salt and pepper, to taste.

Add the broccoli and onion to the skillet. Cook just until the onion starts to soften, about 4-5 more minutes, stirring occasionally and scraping up the bits from the bottom of the pan.

Add the garlic, ginger, red curry paste, and curry powder (if using). Cook for 1 minute.

Stir in the coconut milk; bring to a simmer.

Add the chickpeas and brown sugar, reduce the heat to low, and cook for 5-7 more minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is cooked through.

Stir in the lime juice. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper, as needed.

Serve curry with rice and garnish with fresh cilantro, parsley, or sliced green onions.
