Necessary ingredients: - 500 g chicken breast (preferably farm-raised for better taste) - 2 tablespoons olive oil or coconut oil (for a more intense flavor) - 1 large onion, finely chopped - 2 garlic cloves, crushed - 1 small piece of fresh ginger (about 2 cm), grated - 2 tablespoons curry powder (choose a sweet or spicy curry, according to your preference) - 400 ml coconut milk (for creaminess) - 1 tablespoon soy sauce (optional, for a splash of umami) - 1 red bell pepper, sliced (for color and crunch) - Salt and pepper to taste - 2 tablespoons fresh coriander, chopped (for garnish) Preparation instructions: 1. Preparing the chicken: Cut the chicken breast into thin strips, about 1-2 cm wide. This will help the meat cook evenly. If you want, you can marinate the chicken in a little yogurt with spices an hour beforehand for an even more intense flavor. 2. Heating the oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil or coconut oil over medium heat. Make sure the oil is well heated before adding the chicken to achieve a golden crust. 3. Cooking the chicken: Add the chicken strips to the skillet and let them cook without stirring for 5-6 minutes. This will allow the chicken to brown well. Once it releases easily, turn it to the other side and cook for another 3-4 minutes. 4. Adding the vegetables: Once the chicken is cooked, add the chopped onion, crushed garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté everything for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and the flavors combine. 5. Seasoning: Sprinkle curry powder over the dish, mixing well to coat the chicken and vegetables. Let the spices fry for 1 minute to release their aroma. 6. Creating the sauce: Pour the coconut milk into the skillet and mix well. If you desire a splash of salt and umami flavor, add the soy sauce. Let it simmer over low heat for 10-15 minutes until the sauce thickens and the flavors intensify. At this stage, you can adjust the sauce's consistency by adding water if necessary. 7. Finishing the dish: Add the sliced bell pepper and let it simmer for 5 minutes to retain its crunchiness. Taste and season with salt and pepper to preference. 8. Serving: Once the chicken curry is ready, sprinkle fresh coriander on top and serve it warm, alongside basmati rice or warm flatbreads. You can also serve it with a fresh salad for a delicious contrast. Practical tips: - You can add vegetables like peas, carrots, or zucchini to enrich the dish. - If you prefer a spicier curry, add fresh chili or chili flakes. - This chicken curry keeps well in the fridge and can be enjoyed the next day, with flavors becoming even more intense. This chicken curry recipe is perfect for a quick and comforting dinner, full of flavors and colors. Try to add a splash of love and imagination to each dish, and the result will always be delicious!
