Categories     Entree     Dinner

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 pounds chicken (cut into 3-inch pieces; on or off the bone, as you prefer)
1 teaspoon red chili powder (reduce for less spicy-this quantity makes a medium spicy curry)
2 teaspoons coriander
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon fennel (powder)
1/4 teaspoon cardamom
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 onion (ground to a paste in a food processor )
1 teaspoon garlic paste
1 teaspoon ginger paste
1 stick cinnamon (3 centimeters)
2 star anise
4 cloves
15 curry leaves
4 medium potatoes (washed well and cut into quarters; leave the skin on)
2 large tomatoes (chopped fine)
Salt to taste
1/2 cup coconut milk

Steps:

  • Put chicken into a large bowl and add the chili powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, fennel powder, and cardamom powder and mix well till all the pieces are coated. Sprinkle with a little water if the mixture is too dry. Marinate for 30 minutes.
  • Set up a deep pan on medium heat. Add the cooking oil and allow to heat. When hot, add all the whole spices. Sauté till the spluttering stops, the spices turn slightly darker and begin to release their aromas.
  • Now add the garlic, ginger, and onion pastes. Sauté for roughly 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Add the chicken, potatoes, tomatoes, and enough hot water to the pan to just cover the chicken. Bring to a boil and then simmer the heat. Cook like this for 20 minutes. Stir occasionally.
  • Taste and season with salt to your preference (to this amount of chicken curry, add roughly a level teaspoon of salt). Cook for 5 more minutes, uncovered.
  • Add the coconut milk, stir and allow to come to a boil. Turn off heat as soon as this happens.
  • Spoon into serving bowl and serve with hot plain boiled rice. Layered, flaky lachcha parathas also taste divine with this curry.

Provided by This Healthy Table

Categories     Main Dishes

Time 1h3m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 pounds chicken breasts
1 teaspoon ground paprika
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 tablespoons canola oil, divided
1 medium yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (13.5 ounces) coconut milk
2 teaspoons curry powder
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
optional - 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
serve with - naan or steamed rice

Steps:

  • Cut the chicken into 1/2 inch chunks. Sprinkle the chicken with paprika, turmeric, 1 teaspoon of salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of canola oil in a large pot or dutch oven over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the chicken and brown it for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally to make sure it doesn't stick.
  • Remove the chicken and set it aside.
  • Add the remaining oil and once it's hot, add the onion and sauté for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Then add the garlic and stir continuously for 30 seconds.
  • Add the chicken back into the pot, along with the coconut milk, and the remaining teaspoon of salt. Stir to combine and increase the heat so the curry comes to a low boil. When it's gently bubbling, reduce the heat to a simmer and allow to cook for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes.
  • Turn off the heat and stir in the curry powder and lime juice. If time permits, allow the curry to sit for 10 minutes before serving - this will continue to thicken the sauce.
  • Serve with optional rice or naan and top with fresh cilantro.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, tenderloins separated
Salt
1 tablespoon Oriental sesame oil
Half a lime or lemon, seeds removed
1/3 cup coconut milk
1 small scallion (green onion), trimmed and finely sliced
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
Dried red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Between sheets of plastic wrap pound the thicker side of the breast to make it overall more even in thickness and season lightly with salt.
  • Heat the sesame oil in a skillet over moderate heat. Add the chicken breasts and tenderloins. Saute the chicken without disturbing the pieces for 4 to 5 minutes. You'll know to turn the chicken over when the top looks opaque (tenderloins may take only 2 to 3 minutes per side). Turn the chicken over to the other side and saute, undisturbed again for another 4 to 5 minutes or until the interior is cooked through.
  • Remove the chicken to a plate and discard the fat from the skillet. Squeeze the juice from the lime into the skillet and scrape up any coagulated juices into the juice; add the coconut milk, bring it to a simmer. Remove the skillet from the heat and whisk in the scallions and cilantro; season to taste with salt and dried red pepper flakes.

COCONUT-LIME CURRIED CHICKEN



Coconut-Lime Curried Chicken image

As an up-and-coming chef, I did several stints cooking on cruise ships in the Caribbean. I loved getting out at each port and tasting the local food. That's when I discovered Trinidadian curry, which I've re-created here, adding touches of Asia with the ginger and lime. You can serve it with noodles, couscous, quinoa, rice -- whatever you've got on hand that is quick and delicious -- but my choice would be roti (Indian flatbread).

Provided by Marcus Samuelsson

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 tablespoons canola oil, plus more as needed
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons red curry paste (see Cook's Note)
4 tablespoons cilantro leaves and tender stems, roughly chopped
1 medium yellow onion, sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
One 1-inch piece ginger, peeled and minced
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 limes halved lengthwise, plus grated zest and juice of 1 lime
2 sprigs thyme, leaves stripped
One 15-ounce can coconut milk
1/4 cup water
2 cups cooked rice (optional)
4 fresh mint leaves, chopped
1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon raisins
2 tablespoons toasted unsweetened coconut flakes

Steps:

  • Put the 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet and turn the heat to medium.
  • Meanwhile, season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on each side. Add 2 tablespoons of the curry paste and half of the cilantro. Massage the chicken, rubbing in the curry paste and cilantro.
  • When the oil is shimmering, add the chicken in one layer and cook until browned, about 3 minutes per side. Remove to a plate. The chicken will not be cooked through at this point.
  • Add the onion, garlic, ginger and 1 tablespoon of the butter. Season with salt and pepper. Add a drizzle of oil if the skillet looks dry and stir together. Clear some space in the skillet and add 2 of the lime halves cut-side down. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons curry paste and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent and the garlic is slightly golden, about 5 minutes. During this time, leave the limes cut side down. Return the chicken to the skillet. Sprinkle with most of the lime zest and reserve the rest for garnish. Add the thyme leaves and bring to a simmer. Remove the lime halves.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low and stir in the coconut milk, water and half of the lime juice. Bring to a simmer. Add the rice, if using, and stir together. Add half of the remaining chopped herbs and all of the remaining lime juice. Flip the chicken to coat, add the raisins and continue to simmer until the sauce is slightly thickened and the chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed. Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and the chopped herbs and squeeze in more lime juice, as desired.
  • Garnish with the coconut and reserved lime zest and serve.

CURRIED SAUTEED CHICKEN CHUNKS WITH COCONUT MILK



Curried Sauteed Chicken Chunks with Coconut Milk image

Provided by Jean Georges Vongerichten

Categories     Milk/Cream     Chicken     Sauté     Quick & Easy     Peanut     Curry     Lemongrass     Cilantro

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2 to 1-inch dice
1 teaspoon Curry Powder or commercial curry powder
Salt
1 teaspoon minced fresh chile or red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon minced lemongrass
3 tablespoons butter or neutral oil, such as canola or grapeseed
2 tablespoons nam pla (Thai fish sauce)
1 cup canned unsweetened or fresh coconut milk
1 cup salted peanuts or cashews
1/2 cup roughly chopped cilantro

Steps:

  • Time: 30 minutes
  • 1. Toss the chicken with the curry powder, salt to taste, chile, and lemongrass.
  • 2. Place the butter in a medium skillet, preferably nonstick, and turn the heat to medium-high. When it melts, add the chicken. Cook the chicken, stirring occasionally, until it loses its raw color. Add the coconut milk and turn the heat to medium.
  • 3. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until cooked through, then stir in the nam pla and nuts and cook for another 30 seconds. Garnish with cilantro and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish. Choose chicken breasts or thighs that are firm and plump, and use fresh vegetables.
  • Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a mixture of yogurt, spices, and herbs will help to tenderize it and add flavor. You can marinate the chicken for anywhere from 30 minutes to overnight.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're sautéing the chicken, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly. Work in batches if necessary.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat: Cooking the chicken over medium heat will help to prevent it from drying out.
  • Use a good quality coconut milk: The coconut milk is a key ingredient in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality product. Look for a coconut milk that is thick and creamy.
  • Season to taste: Once the dish is cooked, season it to taste with salt, pepper, and additional spices.

Conclusion:

This curried sautéed chicken chunks with coconut milk is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the coconut milk adds a creamy and rich flavor. This dish can be served with rice, noodles, or vegetables.
