Ingredients

  • ▢1 1/2 lbs diced chicken breast

  • ▢1 teaspoon kosher salt

  • ▢1 teaspoon smoked paprika

  • ▢1 teaspoon dried oregano or dried herbs

  • Sauce ingredients
  • ▢1/2 onion, minced

  • ▢3 cloves of garlic

  • ▢1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger, or more if you like it extra gingery (I added 1 tablespoon)

  • ▢1/4 cup chicken broth

  • ▢1 1/4 cup canned light coconut milk, from 1 can

  • ▢1 tbsp of tomato paste

  • ▢1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

  • For the bowls:
  • ▢fresh cilantro

  • ▢3 cups cooked jasmine rice or basmati

  • ▢more coconut milk, optional for topping

Directions

  • Season the chicken with salt, paprika and dried herbs.
  • Preheat a large skillet over high and spray with oil then brown the chicken in an even layer, 3-5 minutes.
  • Once browned, remove the chicken, reduce heat and spray with more oil. Add the onion, garlic, ginger, and cook 1 minute, then add the broth to deglaze the pan.
  • Simmer about 1 minute then add in the tomato paste, coconut milk, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  • Bring the sauce to a simmer for a few minutes to thicken, add the chicken back along with any juices and cook on medium heat 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Serve over jasmine rice and garnish with cilantro and drizzle with more coconut milk, if desired.
