Start by heating coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onions, minced garlic, and grated ginger, sautéing until fragrant. Then, add the chicken breast cubes, curry powder, and turmeric powder, stirring until the chicken is browned on all sides.

Next, pour in the coconut milk, lemon zest, and lemon juice, allowing the flavors to meld together as the curry simmers gently. Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the spices as needed. Let the curry simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
