Ingredients
-
1 1/2 lbs diced chicken breast
-
1 teaspoon kosher salt
-
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
-
1 teaspoon dried oregano or dried herbs
-
1/2 onion, minced
-
3 cloves of garlic
-
1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
-
1/4 cup chicken broth
-
1 1/4 cup canned light coconut milk, from 1 can
-
1 tbsp of tomato paste
-
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Sauce
Directions
Season the chicken with salt, paprika and dried herbs.
Preheat a large skillet over high and spray with oil then brown the chicken in an even layer, 3-5 minutes.
Once browned, remove the chicken, reduce heat and spray with more oil. Add the onion, garlic, ginger, and cook 1 minute, then add the broth to de-glaze the pan.
Simmer about 1 minute then add in the tomato paste, coconut milk, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Bring the sauce to a simmer for a few minutes to thicken, add the chicken back along with any juices and cook on medium heat 3 to 4 minutes.
Serve over jasmine rice then garnish with cilantro and drizzle with more coconut milk, if desired.
Recipe Note
NOTE: You could serve this with jasmine rice, cauliflower rice, or air fired potatoes as I did.
