Cuisine: Indian

Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breast, cubed
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 1 can coconut milk
- 2 cups green cabbage, shredded
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by cutting chicken into 1-inch cubes, finely chopping onion, mincing garlic, and shredding cabbage.
- Heat a large skillet or deep pan over medium-high heat with 2 tablespoons of cooking oil.
- Add chopped onions and sauté until translucent and slightly golden, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Introduce minced garlic and curry powder, stirring quickly to prevent burning and release aromatic flavors.
- Add cubed chicken breast to the pan, season with salt and pepper, and cook until exterior turns white and begins to brown, about 5-6 minutes.
- Pour coconut milk into the skillet, stirring to combine with chicken and spices, reducing heat to medium-low.
- Simmer the curry sauce for 10-12 minutes, allowing chicken to cook thoroughly and sauce to slightly thicken.
- Add shredded cabbage to the pan, stirring to incorporate and cook for additional 5-7 minutes until cabbage is tender but still crisp.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
- Remove from heat and garnish with fresh chopped cilantro before serving.
- Serve hot with steamed rice or naan bread as accompaniment.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, chop your vegetables and cube the chicken ahead of time. Store them in the fridge until you're ready to cook.
- Customize Your Spice Level: If you like it spicy, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or a chopped green chili when you sauté the onions.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh garlic and cilantro will enhance the flavors of your dish, so opt for fresh over dried whenever possible.
- Simmer for Flavor: Allow the curry to simmer longer if you have the time; this will deepen the flavors and make the chicken even more tender.
- Serve with Sides: This curry pairs beautifully with steamed basmati rice or warm naan bread, so don’t forget to prepare a side to soak up that delicious sauce!
- Leftovers: If you have any leftovers, they taste even better the next day! Store them in an airtight container in the fridge and reheat gently.
