Tropical Twist: Coconut Lime Chicken Curry Recipe

Coconut Lime Chicken Curry

Today, I’m excited to share a recipe that combines the tropical flavors of coconut and lime with the comforting warmth of a curry. This dish always puts me in a sunny and relaxed mood, perfect for a weekend dinner with loved ones.

Ingredients:

• boneless, skinless chicken thighs (500g)
• coconut milk (400ml)
• chicken broth (250ml)
• lime juice (2 limes)
• red curry paste (3 tbsp)
• bell peppers, thinly sliced (2)
• onion, diced (1)
• garlic, minced (3 cloves)
• ginger, grated (1-inch piece)
• olive oil (2 tbsp)
• salt and pepper to taste
• fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Kitchen Tools:

• chef’s knife
• cutting board
• large skillet
• wooden spoon
• measuring spoons

Start by heating olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onions and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.

Next, add the chicken thighs to the skillet and brown on all sides, seasoning with salt and pepper. Once the chicken is browned, stir in the red curry paste, coating the chicken evenly.

Pour in the coconut milk and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

Add the thinly sliced bell peppers to the skillet, along with the lime juice. Let the curry simmer for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Serve the coconut lime chicken curry over steamed rice, garnished with fresh chopped cilantro. Enjoy the creamy coconut milk, zesty lime, and spicy curry flavors in every bite.

This dish serves 4 people, with each serving weighing approximately 400g. Each serving is around 350 calories.

A unique tip for this recipe is to add a tablespoon of fish sauce for an extra boost of umami flavor. It may seem unconventional, but it truly enhances the overall taste of the dish.
