Coconut Curry Chicken With Sweet Potato Mash

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons curry powder
  • 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, heat some oil over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and 1 tablespoon of curry powder. Sear the chicken for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add the chopped onion, garlic, and ginger. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the coconut milk and remaining curry powder. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
  4. Return the chicken to the skillet and simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  5. While the chicken is simmering, place the sweet potatoes in a pot of water and bring to a boil. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender. Drain the water and mash the sweet potatoes with butter, salt, and pepper.
  6. Serve the coconut curry chicken over the sweet potato mash, garnished with fresh cilantro.
