  • 1 ½ tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons curry powder
  • 1/2 onion, thinly sliced

How to Make Curried Coconut Chicken

1

Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper; set them aside.

2

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the oil. Cook and stir the curry powder in the hot oil for 1 minute. Add the onions and garlic; cook for another minute. Add the chicken, tossing lightly to coat with the curry-infused oil. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center, about 7 to 10 minutes.

3

Stir in the tomatoes, coconut milk, tomato sauce, and sugar into the skillet. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 30 to 40 minutes.
