Gather Your Ingredients

To embark on this culinary adventure, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon ginger paste
• 1 tablespoon Panlasang Pinoy Curry Powder
• 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 (14-ounce) can coconut milk
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
• Salt and pepper to taste

Prepare the Curry Paste

In a small bowl, combine the chopped onion, minced garlic, ginger paste, curry powder, turmeric, cumin, and coriander. Mix well to create a fragrant and flavorful curry paste.

Sear the Chicken

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of oil. Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper, and sear them in the hot oil until golden brown on all sides. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Cook the Curry Base

In the same skillet, add the curry paste and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly. Gradually whisk in the coconut milk and chicken broth, bringing the mixture to a simmer.

Add the Chicken and Simmer

Return the chicken pieces to the skillet and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.

Garnish and Serve

Once the chicken curry is cooked, stir in the chopped cilantro. Serve hot with rice, roti, or your favorite bread of choice.

Tips for Success

• Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
• Don’t overcook the chicken, as this will make it tough.
• Adjust the heat level to your preference by adding more or less curry powder.
• If you don’t have Panlasang Pinoy Curry Powder, you can substitute a blend of curry powder, turmeric, cumin, and coriander.
• Serve the chicken curry with your favorite toppings, such as chopped onions, cilantro, or lime wedges.

Variations

• Vegetable Chicken Curry: Add chopped vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, or bell peppers to the curry.
• Spicy Chicken Curry: Increase the amount of curry powder or add a chopped chili pepper to the curry paste.
• Coconut Chicken Curry: Use coconut cream instead of coconut milk for a richer flavor.
• Thai Chicken Curry: Add lemongrass, galangal, and kaffir lime leaves to the curry paste.
