Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add 1 sliced onion and 1 sliced red chili, cook until soft, about 3 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Add 1.5 lb chicken chunks and 2 tbsp curry powder. Cook, stirring, until chicken is browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Pour in 1 can coconut milk. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cook until chicken is cooked through and sauce thickens slightly, about 10 minutes.
