How to Make Yummy Coconut Curry Chicken

  1. Season 1.5 lbs of chicken pieces (thighs and/or drumsticks) generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Prepare and chop the following vegetables: 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 large carrot (chopped), 1 medium potato (chopped), 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and 2 tablespoons of curry powder in a large skillet over medium-high heat for two minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
  4. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and cook for 1 minute more, until softened.
  5. Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet, tossing lightly to coat with the curry oil.
  6. Reduce heat to medium, and cook for 7 to 10 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear.
  7. Pour in 1 (13.5 ounce) can full-fat coconut milk, the diced tomatoes (undrained), 1/2 cup tomato sauce, and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar into the pan, and stir to combine thoroughly.
  8. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, for approximately 40 to 50 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has slightly thickened.
  9. Add the chopped carrots and potatoes to the skillet.
  10. Remove the lid and cook uncovered for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency and the vegetables are tender.
  11. Serve the delicious Coconut Curry Chicken over steaming jasmine rice. Garnish with fresh cilantro (optional) and enjoy!
