Ingredients

  • 12 baby golden potatoes, halved
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion, finely diced
  • 1 ½ pounds chicken breasts or thighs, cut into 1 inch cubes
  • ¾ cup yellow curry sauce
  • 14 ounces canned coconut cream
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 tsp fish sauce, optional
  • fresh cilantro, to garnish

Instructions 

  • First, add potatoes and enough water to cover them to a pot. Boil for 7 minutes, or until slightly softened. Drain, pat dry and carefully slice in half. Set aside.
  • In a large skillet, add olive oil and diced onion. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes on medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
  • Then, add chicken to the skillet. Cook for 3 minutes on each side.
  • Add all remaining ingredients and halved potatoes to the skillet. Stir to combine.
  • Bring to a light boil. Simmer for 20 minutes or until potatoes are tender and chicken is cooked through. Add more water to the skillet as needed.
  • Finally, remove from heat. Serve with fresh cilantro if desired.

Notes

  • Boiling the potatoes helps them become fork tender.  Skipping this step will result in potatoes that may be too firm.
  • The sauce will thicken as it continues to cook.  Add more water or curry sauce to the skillet as needed.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • To reheat, add leftovers to a skillet with some water or more sauce.  Cook on low heat until warmed through.
