Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tsp curry powder
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk

Instructions

  1. Prepare your ingredients by washing and cutting the chicken into bite-sized pieces and mincing the garlic.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tbsp of butter. Add the chicken pieces, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned on all sides (about 5-7 minutes). Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and minced garlic. Sauté for one minute until fragrant.
  4. Stir in the curry powder for an additional minute before adding the chicken broth and coconut milk. Mix well.
  5. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, bring to a simmer, and let it cook for 10-15 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Drizzle with fresh lemon juice before serving.
