The combination of creamy coconut milk, zesty lime, and aromatic spices creates a dish that is both comforting and refreshing.

Ingredients:

• chicken breast (cut into cubes) – 500g
• coconut milk – 400ml
• lime (zested and juiced) – 1
• ginger (minced) – 30g
• garlic (minced) – 3 cloves
• onion (chopped) – 1
• green chili (sliced) – 2
• turmeric powder – 1 tsp
• coriander powder – 1 tsp

• pepper – 1/2 tsp
• cooking oil
• fresh cilantro (chopped) – for garnish

Kitchen Tools:

To start, heat some oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, ginger, and chopped onion, and sauté until fragrant. Then, add the chicken cubes and cook until they are no longer pink.

Next, add the sliced green chilies, turmeric powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well to coat the chicken in the spices. Pour in the coconut milk and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for about 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.

Once the chicken is cooked, add the lime zest and juice to the skillet. Stir to incorporate the lime flavor into the curry. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.

Finally, garnish the Coconut Lime Chicken Curry with fresh cilantro and serve hot over steamed rice or with naan bread.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 1200g, with 4 servings at 300g each. One serving of this Coconut Lime Chicken Curry is approximately 400 calories.

A unique tip for this recipe is to marinate the chicken cubes in a mixture of lime juice, salt, and pepper for 30 minutes before cooking. This will help infuse the chicken with a bright and tangy flavor.
