- 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
- 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.
- In the same skillet, add the chopped onion, garlic, and ginger. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in the coconut milk and remaining curry powder. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
- Return the chicken to the skillet and simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- 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.
- Serve the coconut curry chicken over the sweet potato mash, garnished with fresh cilantro.
