An easy coconut curry chicken recipe that can be made with regular pantry ingredients. This is probably the best curry with coconut milk and chicken I have tasted.

Doesn't matter if you choose to call it coconut curry chicken or chicken coconut curry, that's is so not a big deal when compared to the depth of flavor in this curry recipe. Serve this over rice or just soak up some homemade naan bread in it and your taste buds will definitely be thankful for the experience.

Coconut Curry Chicken Recipe

To be honest I started making this sauce way before I knew what curries were. And in my mind I felt I had created a unique recipe and was super excited when I shared it here.

It was one of the recipes I shared on the blog at the beginning of my blogging journey and I labeled it Stewed coconut milk sauce.

You can taste the magic of the mix of tomato sauce and coconut milk when making Nigerian style coconut rice.

During one of those days, I made a mental note to make it as a stand alone next time with some added ingredients and adjustments and boy I am glad I did. This yummy creamy goodness definitely didn't disappoint.  Try it and you will see. Enjoy!!

Notes

Notes

  • The Use of Tomato paste in this recipe makes for a faster prep. You can use 2- 3 tablespoon of my Stew base.
  • You can use freshly blended red bell peppers in that case you will need two large red bell peppers. You will need to cook it down a bit in the oil to get a thickened consistency before adding the meat stock and coconut milk.
  • You can make this dish vegetarian simply by swapping the chicken stock with vegetable stock. This dish can easily be made with tofu or any other vegetarian meat substitute.
