Coconut Curry Chicken

Chicken braised in a coconut curry sauce with
 chopped onions and apples served over 
rice with lots of chopped cilantro.
The bone-in chicken thighs gives this dish a rich 
flavor. Once you've prepped everything just 
let it simmer for an hour.
Ingredients: I used 1/2 t chicken bullion powder
 in 1/2 C hot water, canned coconut milk, and 4-6 
chicken thighs, depending on their size.
 Brown the seasoned chicken in hot butter/oil,   
then add the onion, stirring to cook a few minutes.
Stir in the apple and garlic; cook another few minutes.
 Turn the chicken and sprinkle with the curry and 
ginger. Add the cayenne pepper to taste.
We like a little heat.Turn again to coat the chicken.
Add the broth and coconut milk.
 Stir to combine; bring to a simmer and cover.
Simmer for about 1 hour until fork tender.
Thicken the sauce with a little cornstarch
mixed with water. 
Serve on rice and sprinkle with lots of 
chopped fresh cilantro.

  1. This looks and sounds delish, I just tried a thai chicken recipe with red curry paste and coconut milk and it was real good (post soon). Since we eat chicken thighs a lot I will be giving this a try!
