Ingredients

1 tbsp olive oil
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp ginger, grated
2 tbsp curry powder
1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
1 cup chicken broth
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat. Add chicken and cook until lightly browned on all sides, then remove and set aside.
Add chopped onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
Add curry powder and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Return chicken to the pot, then pour in coconut milk and chicken broth.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, reduce heat to low, and cook for 20-25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired, and serve immediately or portion for meal prep.

Tips

Store individual portions in airtight containers for up to 4 days in the refrigerator. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave.
Adjust the amount of curry powder to your spice preference, or add a pinch of chili flakes for an extra kick of heat.
