Chicken becomes deliciously tender when simmered in a rich, creamy sauce with coconut milk and robust, warming spices.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, each trimmed and cut into 4 pieces
- 6 tbsp butter
- 14 oz (414 ml) can full-fat coconut milk
- 1 tbsp ground cumin
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tbsp garam masala
- 1 tbsp turmeric
- 2 tsp ground ginger
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 cups cooked brown basmati rice
How to Make It
- In a large wok, melt coconut oil over high heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté for 3 minutes or until golden brown.
- Add the chicken and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes on each side. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
- Add the butter to the hot pan. Once melted, stir in the coconut milk, cumin, chili powder, garam masala, turmeric, ginger, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, add the chicken back in, and simmer for 10 minutes.
- To assemble the meals, add ½ cup cooked rice to each of 4 meal prep containers, and divide the chicken mixture evenly among the containers.
