Best Curried Sauteed Chicken Chunks With Coconut Milk Recipes

CHICKEN CURRY RECIPE

Steps:

• Cut the chicken into 1/2 inch chunks. Sprinkle the chicken with paprika, turmeric, 1 teaspoon of salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of canola oil in a large pot or dutch oven over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the chicken and brown it for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally to make sure it doesn't stick.
• Remove the chicken and set it aside.
• Add the remaining oil and once it's hot, add the onion and sauté for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Then add the garlic and stir continuously for 30 seconds.
• Add the chicken back into the pot, along with the coconut milk, and the remaining teaspoon of salt. Stir to combine and increase the heat so the curry comes to a low boil. When it's gently bubbling, reduce the heat to a simmer and allow to cook for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes.
• Turn off the heat and stir in the curry powder and lime juice. If time permits, allow the curry to sit for 10 minutes before serving - this will continue to thicken the sauce.
• Serve with optional rice or naan and top with fresh cilantro.

CURRIED COCONUT CHICKEN

Steps:

• Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
• Heat oil and curry powder in a large skillet over medium-high heat for two minutes. Stir in onions and garlic, and cook 1 minute more. Add chicken, tossing lightly to coat with curry oil. Reduce heat to medium, and cook for 7 to 10 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink in center and juices run clear.
• Pour coconut milk, tomatoes, tomato sauce, and sugar into the pan, and stir to combine. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, approximately 30 to 40 minutes.

CHICKEN CURRY WITH SWEET POTATOES AND COCONUT MILK

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325 degrees. Pat chicken dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
• Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add oil. Brown chicken pieces, in batches if necessary, until golden all over, 6 to 8 minutes per batch. Transfer chicken to a plate.
• Stir scallion, ginger, garlic and chiles into pot and reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring, until soft, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in curry paste and cook 1 minute. Stir in coconut milk and sweet potatoes. Arrange chicken pieces on top of potatoes, placing breast meat on top. Pour in enough water to come halfway up the sides of chicken. Bring to a boil. Cover pot and transfer to oven. Bake until chicken is cooked through, about 40 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a large dry skillet over medium heat, toast coconut flakes until golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Add mustard seeds and toast until they begin to pop, 1 minute more. Transfer to a bowl and season with a pinch of salt.
• Transfer chicken and sweet potatoes to a platter. Return Dutch oven to the stove and simmer over medium-high heat until cooking liquid has thickened to a saucelike consistency, 5 to 10 minutes. Pour over chicken and potatoes. Sprinkle with the coconut and mustard seed mixture and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing.

CURRIED SAUTEED CHICKEN CHUNKS WITH COCONUT MILK

Steps:

• Toss the chicken with the curry powder, salt to taste, chilie and lemongrass.
• Place the oil in a medium skillet, turn the heat to medium-high. When hot, add chicken and cook stirring occasionally until it loses its raw color. Add the coconut milk so that it isn't saucy and cooks off mostly and turn heat to medium.
• Cook for another 2-3 minutes until cooked through, then stir in the fish sauce and nuts and cook for another 30 seconds. Garnish with cilantro and serve.

SAUTE OF CHICKEN BREASTS WITH COCONUT MILK AND HERBS

Steps:

• Between sheets of plastic wrap pound the thicker side of the breast to make it overall more even in thickness and season lightly with salt.
• Heat the sesame oil in a skillet over moderate heat. Add the chicken breasts and tenderloins. Saute the chicken without disturbing the pieces for 4 to 5 minutes. You'll know to turn the chicken over when the top looks opaque (tenderloins may take only 2 to 3 minutes per side). Turn the chicken over to the other side and saute, undisturbed again for another 4 to 5 minutes or until the interior is cooked through.
• Remove the chicken to a plate and discard the fat from the skillet. Squeeze the juice from the lime into the skillet and scrape up any coagulated juices into the juice; add the coconut milk, bring it to a simmer. Remove the skillet from the heat and whisk in the scallions and cilantro; season to taste with salt and dried red pepper flakes.

CURRIED SAUTEED CHICKEN CHUNKS WITH COCONUT MILK

Steps:

• Time: 30 minutes
• 1. Toss the chicken with the curry powder, salt to taste, chile, and lemongrass.
• 2. Place the butter in a medium skillet, preferably nonstick, and turn the heat to medium-high. When it melts, add the chicken. Cook the chicken, stirring occasionally, until it loses its raw color. Add the coconut milk and turn the heat to medium.
• 3. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until cooked through, then stir in the nam pla and nuts and cook for another 30 seconds. Garnish with cilantro and serve.

CURRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Arrange the chicken pieces in a single layer in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Season the chicken liberally with salt, pepper, and the paprika; set aside.
• Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the apple and onion to the melted butter, season with the curry powder, and cook and stir until the apple and onion are tender, 7 to 10 minutes. Stir the mushroom soup and half-and-half into the mixture until completely combined; spoon over the chicken pieces.
• Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 75 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 180 degrees F (82 degrees C).

COCONUT CHICKEN CURRY

Steps:

• Trim the chicken thighs of excess fat and cut into 1/2- to 1-inch pieces; transfer to a bowl. Add the paprika, turmeric and salt, and use your hands to mix well. Let the chicken marinate at room temperature while you prepare the other ingredients, or cover and refrigerate overnight.
• In a large pot, heat the oil over medium-high. Stir in the onions, lower the heat to medium-low and cook gently, stirring often to prevent scorching, until tender and translucent, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the garlic and continue to cook, stirring often, until most of the water from the onions has been cooked out and a glossy layer of oil has risen to the surface, about 5 minutes more.
• Add the marinated chicken and stir to release the spices into the onion. Pour in the coconut milk and bring to a near boil. Let the coconut milk simmer briskly for about 4 minutes to thicken a bit. Lower the heat to medium-low and add the fish sauce. Stir in 1 1/2 cups water and bring to a near boil. The broth will thin out as the chicken starts to release its juices.
• Lower to a gentle simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is tender, 30 to 45 minutes. Droplets of paprika-red oil will rise to the surface. Stir in the curry powder and cayenne, simmer briefly and remove from the heat.
• If time permits, let the curry sit for at least 20 minutes before serving. This allows the chicken to soak in more flavors as the curry cools. Bring to a simmer again right before serving and taste, adding more salt or fish sauce if desired. Serve over rice or noodles, with bowls of cilantro and lime wedges.
