Making the Coconut Chicken

I started by cutting my chicken breasts into cubes, and sprinkled some salt and black pepper on them. I added a bit of oil in a pan and fried my chicken on medium heat. Once the chicken is cooked, I removed it from the pan and kept aside. I then added a bit more oil and placed my onion and jalapenos. I sauteed them on medium heat until the onions became translucent. I added my crushed garlic and red pepper and cooked for another 3 minutes. I mixed in my ginger, all the spices, and the water. I continued cooking for another 3 minutes then added back my chicken and tomato cubes and covered the pan. I let everything cook together and exchange flavors for around 5 minutes or until they started simmering. Once it started to simmer, I added the coconut milk and continued cooking for another 10 minutes. I then turned off the heat and garnished with some fresh chopped coriander (optional). 

I served my Coconut Chicken with some white rice and my husband and I loved it a lot. Try it and let me know what you think.

Enjoy! 🙂
