Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts (or thighs, or a mix!)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons coconut oil
1 red bell pepper (thinly sliced)
1 leek (thinly sliced)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
2 tablespoons red curry paste
1 can full-fat coconut milk ((14 ounces) (do not use light, or the sauce won't thicken properly))
3 tablespoons fresh cilantro (torn)
Prepared brown rice or sourdough for serving

Steps:

Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Season the chicken with salt and black pepper.
Melt the coconut oil over medium-high heat in a large, ovenproof skillet. Add the chicken and sear on both sides until deeply golden brown. Transfer to a plate.
Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the bell pepper, leek, garlic, and ginger, and stir to combine. Cook for 2 minutes, until slightly softened.
Stir in the curry paste. Cook for 5 additional minutes, stirring often. Slowly pour in the coconut milk while stirring to combine. Return the reserved chicken to the skillet.
Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 25 minutes. The chicken will be fully cooked when a thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the chicken registers 165 degrees F, and the juices run clear. (Note: Smaller chicken breasts may be done closer to the 15-minute mark.)
Top with cilantro. Serve with rice and fresh sourdough bread for mopping up the sauce if desired.
