Kitchen Tools:

To start, heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the diced chicken breast. Cook until the chicken is browned on all sides, then remove it from the skillet and set it aside. In the same skillet, add the chopped onion, sliced bell peppers, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Cook until the vegetables are tender.

Next, stir in the curry powder, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Pour in the coconut milk and bring the mixture to a simmer. Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet and let it simmer for another 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

While the curry is simmering, prepare the cilantro-lime rice. Cook the basmati rice according to the package instructions. Once cooked, fluff the rice with a fork and stir in the chopped cilantro and lime juice.

Serve the spicy coconut curry over the cilantro-lime rice, garnished with additional cilantro and a lime wedge. The creamy coconut milk, spicy curry flavors, and bright cilantro-lime rice create a delicious and satisfying meal that will warm you from the inside out.
