Cooking Steps

  • Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, combine the coconut milk, minced garlic, minced ginger, lime juice, curry powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well blended.
  • Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts into the marinade, ensuring they are thoroughly coated. Cover and let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  • Heat the Pan: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil, allowing it to warm up.
  • Cook the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Cook in the hot skillet for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  • Add the Marinade: Pour the reserved marinade over the chicken, stir to coat and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
  • Serve and Enjoy: Remove from heat, let rest briefly, and serve with the sauce drizzled generously over the top.

Notes

For deeper flavor, let the chicken marinate overnight. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
