CURRIED COCONUT CHICKEN

Steps:

• Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
• Heat oil and curry powder in a large skillet over medium-high heat for two minutes. Stir in onions and garlic, and cook 1 minute more. Add chicken, tossing lightly to coat with curry oil. Reduce heat to medium, and cook for 7 to 10 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink in center and juices run clear.
• Pour coconut milk, tomatoes, tomato sauce, and sugar into the pan, and stir to combine. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, approximately 30 to 40 minutes.

CHICKEN CURRY RECIPE

Steps:

• Cut the chicken into 1/2 inch chunks. Sprinkle the chicken with paprika, turmeric, 1 teaspoon of salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of canola oil in a large pot or dutch oven over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the chicken and brown it for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally to make sure it doesn't stick.
• Remove the chicken and set it aside.
• Add the remaining oil and once it's hot, add the onion and sauté for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Then add the garlic and stir continuously for 30 seconds.
• Add the chicken back into the pot, along with the coconut milk, and the remaining teaspoon of salt. Stir to combine and increase the heat so the curry comes to a low boil. When it's gently bubbling, reduce the heat to a simmer and allow to cook for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes.
• Turn off the heat and stir in the curry powder and lime juice. If time permits, allow the curry to sit for 10 minutes before serving - this will continue to thicken the sauce.
• Serve with optional rice or naan and top with fresh cilantro.
