    Easy Indian Curry Chicken

    I love Indian Curry and I love how easy it is to make…especially this Indian Curry Chicken recipe! We do not skimp on the seasonings for maximum flavor! This is a very mild curry but you can make it spicy if you like.

    One of the most popular foods on earth has to be Indian Curry Chicken.  I can totally see why because it is easy to make, and it is so delicious!  I like to serve mine with lots of cilantro and cauliflower rice.  This is a mild Indian curry, but it is easy to add as much spice as you like with the addition of spicy red chili pepper.

    HOW TO MAKE INDIAN CURRY CHICKEN

    If you have never made Indian Curry Chicken before, the spices may seem intimidating!  Instead of using a bunch of spices to make our own curry powder, I opt for the already made version from the spice section of the grocery store.  This makes the recipe super easy!

    In addition to the curry powder, this recipe calls for onion, chicken breast, coconut milk, ginger, and garlic.

    We start off by cutting our onion into large chunks and frying them in oil until they are golden brown.

    Add in the curry powder with the onions and sauté for about a minute.  We want to cook the curry powder to bloom the spices for better flavor.

    Next comes the chicken, coconut milk, ginger, and garlic.

    The coconut milk will be very thick and you may need a spatula to get it out of the can.  You can lighten this recipe by using lite coconut milk, but the curry will not be as thick.

    Stir this occasionally until the chicken is cooked through…about 10 minutes.  This recipe comes out to 9 weight watchers points if you use the full fat coconut milk and 9 Net Carbs.  Not too shabby!
