For an even richer flavor, consider using full-fat coconut milk instead of cream of coconut. Adjust the amount of chili powder to your preference, adding more for a spicier dish. Serve this delightful Chicken in Coconut Sauce over steamed rice or with a side of crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley for a pop of color and freshness.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Coconut Cream: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cream of coconut and hot water until smooth and well blended. Set aside. (5 minutes)
02
StepSear the Chicken: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully place the chicken breasts into the hot oil and sear until golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. The chicken should still be slightly pink inside.
03
StepSeason the Chicken: Transfer the seared chicken breasts to a plate lined with paper towels. Sprinkle generously with lemon juice, ground ginger, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
04
StepSauté Aromatics: Place the chopped onions and crushed garlic into the skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
05
StepSimmer in Coconut Sauce: Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them on top of the cooked onions and garlic. Pour the prepared coconut cream mixture evenly over the chicken. Reduce the heat to medium-low.
06
StepCook Until Tender: Simmer gently until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened to a desirable consistency, about 35 minutes.
