Ingredients

  • 5 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons curry powder, divided
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1 yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger
  • 1 (15-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup evaporated milk
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, add the chicken, lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of curry powder. Toss to coat the chicken. Set aside to marinate while you prepare the other ingredients.
  • In a large pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Cook the onion for 4 minutes or until softened.
  • Add the garlic, ginger, and the remaining tablespoon of curry powder. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Add the chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes until almost cooked through. Stir in the crushed tomatoes.
  • Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the chicken is completely cooked through.
  • Stir in evaporated milk and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm.

Notes

  1. Serve your chicken curry with rice or naan for a satisfying meal.
  2. I highly recommend using organic chicken in this recipe.
  3. Leftovers will keep in the refrigerator for about a week or can be frozen for up to three months.
