Why This Dish Is Worth Trying

A comforting blend of rich spices and tender chicken that warms the soul. Its creamy texture and subtle sweetness make it a favorite in many Filipino households. It’s easy to prepare and perfect for sharing with family and friends.

Helpful Tips For Cooking

- Use coconut milk for a richer and creamier sauce.
- Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes to enhance flavor.
- Add potatoes or carrots to make the dish more hearty and colorful.

Step 1

Heat some olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Toss in the chopped onion, garlic, ginger, and a pinch of garlic salt, then sauté until everything smells amazing. Add the chicken breasts to the pan and sprinkle the curry powder over them. Cook the chicken, stirring occasionally, until it turns white, which should take about 5 minutes. Once the chicken is lightly browned, crumble in the chicken bouillon and toss in some thyme for extra flavor.

Step 2

Pour in enough water to cover the chicken, then add the potatoes. Let everything simmer gently until the potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes. Finally, stir in the green bell pepper and cook for another 5 minutes so the flavors meld together. Serve warm and enjoy!

How To Plate This Dish

Serve this dish hot with steamed white rice or garlic fried rice. It also pairs well with a side of fresh vegetables or pickled papaya to balance the richness of the curry.

Food Storage Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove to prevent the coconut milk from separating. This dish can also be frozen for up to a month; thaw overnight before reheating.

The curry was tasty but a bit heavy for me. Next time I’ll reduce the coconut milk a bit. Still, very satisfying.
