Easy Coconut Curry Chicken (Whole30, Paleo)

January 17, 2017 By Shannah Coe 16 Comments

Ok, so I thought I was totally in love with the Thai green curry shrimp I shared with you all last week. Then, I met this coconut curry chicken. Seriously, this is the recipe you need to plan to make right away. And, if you are on Whole30, this is the recipe that will make you absolutely FORGET you are on Whole30. (I even have neighbors who say so!) It is that good, promise!

Thai Coconut Curry Chicken

I am not sure words can really describe how much flavor is packed into this dish. Don’t be fooled by the list of ingredients. This recipe is on your table in 30 minutes (or less) which is a HUGE bonus too. I serve it over cauliflower rice but, of course, you can do regular rice if you prefer.

Ingredients for Coconut Curry Chicken:

Marinade:
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground pepper
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4 cup lemon juice
3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
Other Ingredients:
2 Tbsp coconut oil
1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 Tbsp grated fresh ginger
1 tsp turmeric
2 tsp ground coriander
2 tsp curry powder
1 14.5 oz can fire roasted, petite diced tomatoes
1 can full fat coconut milk
2 Tbsp lemon juice
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper

Let’s Make It:

1. In a large bowl, combine 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp ground pepper, 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper and 1/4 cup lemon juice. Add chicken pieces and toss to combine. Marinate for 10 minutes. Remove chicken and discard marinade.

2. In a large skillet, heat 1 Tbsp coconut oil over medium heat. Add chicken pieces and cook for 5 minutes or until no longer pink (they do not need to be fully cooked). Transfer to plate.

3. Heat remaining coconut oil in skillet. Add onion and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add garlic and ginger. Cook for 1 minute. Stir in turmeric, coriander and curry powder. Cook for an additional minute or until fragrant.

4. Stir in tomatoes, with juices, coconut milk and chicken. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to simmer. Simmer for 10 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked. Remove from heat and stir in 2 Tbsp lemon juice and 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper. 

This is seriously my new favorite recipe! I haven’t told Mathlete yet but it is on our weekly menu for every week until the end of Whole30. I need some way to use up the curry powder I got from Costco last week. Hope he doesn’t get tired of it. ๐Ÿ˜‰
