Coconut Chicken

Serves 4 / Prep time: 15 minutes / Cook time: 25 minutes

One of the main components of this recipe is rich, creamy coconut milk, which is a popular keto ingredient. The various types of coconut milk available might be confusing, but the best is the canned variety with a thick layer of coconut cream on top. Either stir the cream into the milk or skim it off for other recipes after opening the can.

2 tablespoons olive oil
4 (4-ounce) chicken breasts, cut into 2-inch chunks
½ cup chopped sweet onion
1 cup coconut milk
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro

1. Place a large saucepan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.

2. Sauté the chicken until almost cooked through, about 10 minutes.

3. Add the onion and sauté for an additional 3 minutes.

4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, curry powder, cumin, and coriander.

5. Pour the sauce into the saucepan with the chicken and bring the liquid
to a boil.

6. Reduce the heat and simmer until the chicken is tender and the sauce
has thickened, about 10 minutes.

7. Serve the chicken with the sauce, topped with cilantro.
