Coconut Curry Chicken is a creamy, comforting dish with tender chicken and hearty potatoes simmered in a flavorful coconut curry sauce. Perfect for weeknight dinners, meal prep, or casual family meals, it’s served over rice and garnished with cilantro, peanuts, shredded coconut, or red chiles.

Ingredients

2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed

1 small onion, chopped

2 teaspoons canola oil

1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast halves

1 cup light coconut milk

4 teaspoons curry powder

1 garlic clove, minced

1 teaspoon reduced-sodium chicken bouillon granules

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

2 cups hot cooked rice

Optional toppings: cilantro, shredded coconut, chopped peanuts, thinly sliced red chiles

Instructions

  1. Heat canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 3–4 minutes.
  2. Add cubed potatoes and cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Add to pan and cook until lightly browned, 4–5 minutes per side.
  4. Stir in coconut milk, curry powder, garlic, and chicken bouillon. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook 15–20 minutes until chicken is cooked through and potatoes are tender.
  5. Remove chicken, slice or cube, and return to pan. Stir to coat with sauce.
  6. Serve over hot cooked rice and garnish with optional toppings.

Notes

Substitute chicken thighs for extra juiciness.

Add vegetables like bell peppers, peas, or carrots for color and nutrients.

Use full-fat coconut milk for a richer sauce, or light for fewer calories.

Adjust curry powder or add cayenne for more heat.
