Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless chicken breast or thigh meat cut in bite-sized chunks
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 14.5 ounces coconut milk canned, full-fat
  • 2 tablespoons tomato puree
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons curry powder
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 1/2 cups long-grain rice
  • 2 cups water

Instructions

  • Saute the onion in olive oil until lightly browned.
  • Whisk in the coconut milk, tomato paste, curry powder, and garlic.
  • Add the chicken and stir to combine.
  • Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes.
  • In another pot, heat 2 cups of water to boiling. Add the rice and stir. Cover with a lid and cook on a low simmer for approximately 18 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Remove from heat and fluff with a fork.
  • Serve the curry over rice.

Notes

Add additional veggies, if desired, like potato, sweet potato chunks, sliced bell pepper, water chestnuts, or spinach.
