How to Make Spicy Chicken With Coconut Lime Sauce
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces. Cook for 5-7 minutes, browning on all sides.
- Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
- Add 1 medium onion, chopped; 1 cup salsa; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1 bell pepper (any color), chopped; 1 tablespoon curry powder; 1 teaspoon salt; and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring until onions soften and brown slightly.
- Return chicken to the skillet.
- Pour in 1 (13.5 ounce) can full-fat coconut milk and 2 tablespoons lime juice. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 25-30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and easily pierced with a fork.
- Remove and discard the bell pepper (optional).
- Serve the chicken mixture over cooked rice.
- Garnish with lime wedges and a sprinkle of 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut.
