Ingredients
1.5 lbs chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 cups fresh peaches, sliced or diced
1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup diced yellow onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
1 tsp curry powder
Salt and black pepper to taste
Fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken pieces, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 5-6 minutes until browned on all sides, then remove and set aside.
Add the diced onions to the skillet and cook for 3 minutes until translucent.
Stir in the garlic, ginger, and curry powder, cooking for one minute until fragrant.
Pour in the coconut milk and bring to a gentle simmer.
Reduce heat to medium-low and let the sauce reduce for 5 minutes until slightly thick and glossy.
Add the chicken and sliced peaches back into the skillet.
Simmer for an additional 3-4 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the peaches are tender.
Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve warm.
Notes
Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop.
Substitutions: If you do not have fresh peaches, canned peach slices (drained) work perfectly well as a substitute.
Consistency: You can reduce the sauce further for a thicker glaze or add a splash of broth if you prefer a thinner consistency.
