Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Aromatics
- 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb), diced into bite-sized pieces
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
Liquids and Spices
- 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tsp curry powder
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
Fruits
- 1 ripe mango, diced
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Dice the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, mince the garlic, and grate the fresh ginger. Set all aside for easy access during cooking.
- Cook Chicken: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the diced chicken pieces and cook until they turn golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté Aromatics: Reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the same skillet. Sauté for approximately 2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.
- Add Liquids and Spices: Stir in the full-fat coconut milk, low-sodium chicken broth, curry powder, and fresh lime juice. Bring this mixture to a gentle simmer, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Simmer with Chicken and Mango: Return the cooked chicken pieces to the skillet along with the diced ripe mango. Continue cooking for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Serve: Serve the Mango Coconut Chicken Curry hot over cooked rice or quinoa for a satisfying meal.
