500 g
onion
0.5
garlic
2 clove
ginger
2 tsp
frozen peas
0.8 cup
oil
1.5 tbsp
curry powder
2.5 tbsp
coconut milk

low-sodium chicken stock
1.5 cup

0.5 tsp

0.3 cup

Step-by-Step Instructions

Heat the oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic, and ginger, then cook for about 3 minutes, stirring often, until the onion softens and turns translucent.

Add the sliced chicken thighs and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the outside of the chicken is no longer pink.

Sprinkle in the curry powder and stir well to coat the chicken. Cook for 1-2 minutes to toast the spices and deepen their flavor.

Pour in the coconut milk and low-sodium chicken stock. Stir, bring to a lively simmer, then reduce the heat to medium and cook for about 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.

Stir in the frozen peas and salt. Cook for another 2 minutes, then taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
