Yet another simple and delicious recipe courtesy of my friend Melanie. Originally hailing from Food.com, I’ve made a few changes below. Everyone over here loved it – kids included. All our plates were literally licked clean. Enjoy.
Ingredients:
12 boneless skinless chicken thighs (cut in half)*
1 large onion, chopped
1 large red bell pepper, chopped
3-4 t. minced garlic
1 1/2 t. curry powder
1 1/2 t. chili powder
1/2 t. turmeric
1/2 t. cinnamon
1 – 14oz. can coconut milk
1/4 c. mango chutney*
zest of 1 lemon
1/2 t. salt
2 large golden delicious apples, peeled, cored and chopped (aim for 1″ pieces as anything smaller will turn mushy)
1 handful of fresh cilantro, chopped
cooking spray
Spray a large skillet with cooking spray and warm over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces and cook until both sides are lightly browned (about 2 minutes per side). Remove chicken and keep warm.
Then add onions, red pepper and garlic to same pan. Cook and stir vegetables until they soften – about 3 minutes. Add curry powder, chili powder, turmeric and cinnamon. Cook and stir for one more minute.
Then add coconut milk, mango chutney, lemon zest and salt. Mix well.
Stir in chicken and apple pieces. Cover and simmer over low heat for 15 minutes. Add cilantro and simmer for 5 more minutes.
Serve over rice.
*I couldn’t find chicken thighs so I used boneless, skinless chicken wings. It worked out great.
*Find mango chutney in the ethnic/Indian food aisle of your grocery store.
This looks amazing!! I can’t wait to try.
It is easy AND delicious – let me know how it turns out!
