Step 1
Cut the 1.5 lb chicken thighs and 1.5 lb potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Dice the 1 medium onion and mince the 2 garlic cloves.
Step 2
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add the chicken and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, add the onion and garlic. Cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Stir in the 1 tsp cumin and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 4
Return the chicken to the skillet. Add the potatoes and 1 cup coconut milk. Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook until potatoes are tender and chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes.
Step 5
Uncover and simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.
