Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds chicken thighs
• 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons curry powder
• 1 tablespoon ginger
• 4 cloves garlic
• 1.5 cups jasmine rice
• 2 medium bell peppers
• 1 medium onion
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup cilantro

Instructions

1. 1

   Begin by cooking the jasmine rice. Rinse 1.5 cups of jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice with 3 cups of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for an additional 5 minutes.

2. 2

   While the rice is cooking, prepare the chicken. Cut 1.5 pounds of chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and season with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper.

3. 3

   In a large skillet or pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken pieces and sauté for 6-8 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

4. 4

   In the same skillet, add 1 medium chopped onion, 4 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tablespoon of minced ginger. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent and fragrant.

5. 5

   Add 2 tablespoons of curry powder to the skillet and stir for 1 minute to toast the spices.

6. 6

   Pour in 1 can (13.5 oz) of coconut milk and 1 cup of chicken broth. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.

7. 7

   Chop 2 medium bell peppers into strips and add them to the skillet. Return the cooked chicken to the pot and stir everything together. Let it simmer for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

8. 8

   Once the sauce has thickened slightly, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Remove from heat.

9. 9

   Fluff the jasmine rice with a fork and serve it on plates. Top with the coconut curry chicken and garnish with 1/4 cup of chopped cilantro.
