Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Season the 1.5 lb chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and brown the chicken until golden on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.

  2. Step 2

    Reduce heat to medium, add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 sliced onion, and 2 minced garlic cloves. Cook until the onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Stir in the 2 tbsp curry powder and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, stirring constantly.

  4. Step 4

    Pour in the 1 can coconut milk and scrape up any browned bits from the pan. Bring to a simmer.

  5. Step 5

    Return the chicken to the skillet, cover, and simmer gently until the chicken is cooked through and tender, about 20 minutes. The sauce should thicken slightly.

  6. Step 6

    Meanwhile, cook the 1 cup rice according to package instructions.

  7. Step 7

    Serve the curry chicken over the rice and top with the 1 cup fresh blueberries.
