Coconut Curry Chicken

Coconut Curry Chicken

A quick stir-fry combining tender chicken breast, crisp vegetables, and a rich coconut milk sauce. The dish comes together fast in a single wok, using brown bean sauce and fresh ginger to build deep savory notes. It is an ideal choice for a busy weeknight dinner. Toasted coconut adds a welcome crunch to the creamy, spiced finish.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • ¾ lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
  • 1 small onion, cut into thin wedges
  • 1 small zucchini, cut into ¼-inch slices
  • 1 medium bell pepper (any color), cut into ¾-inch squares
  • 1 ⁄ 3 cup reduced-fat (lite) unsweetened coconut milk (not cream of coconut)
  • 1 tablespoon brown bean sauce
  • 1 teaspoon grated gingerroot
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons shredded coconut, toasted

Instructions

  1. 1Coat the chicken breasts evenly with the curry powder, then cut them into 3/4-inch pieces. Let the meat rest for 10 minutes.
  2. 2Coat a wok or a 12-inch skillet with cooking spray and place it over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the seasoned chicken. Cook and stir for about 2 minutes until the meat is no longer pink in the center, then push the chicken to the sides of the wok.
  3. 3Pour the vegetable oil into the center of the pan. Toss in the onion wedges, sliced zucchini, and bell pepper squares, cooking and stirring for 2 minutes.
  4. 4Stir in the coconut milk, brown bean sauce, grated gingerroot, and salt. Mix everything together until the sauce coats the chicken and vegetables completely and heats through. Garnish the finished dish with the toasted shredded coconut.
