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.
