Ingredients

• INGREDIENTS
• 4 chicken thighs, on the bone, skin removed
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• Cayenne pepper
• 2 tablespoons canola oil (or as needed)
• 1 small onion, halved and thinly sliced
• 2 medium carrots, quartered lengthwise, then cut into 2-inch pieces
• 1 tablespoon curry powder, such as Madras
• 1 tablespoon minced ginger
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 can (14.5-ounce) diced tomatoes, undrained
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1/2 cup heavy cream or canned coconut milk
• 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, plus sprigs for garnish

Directions

• INSTRUCTIONS
• Season chicken thighs generously with salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper.
• Heat oil in a deep skillet or sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and brown 2-3 minutes per side or until browned. Transfer to a plate.
• Add more oil if necessary. Add the onion then reduce heat to medium-low and cook 4-5 minutes or until beginning to soften. Add carrot and cook 2-3 minutes or until lightly browned in places.
• Add curry powder, ginger and garlic and cook very briefly, about 15 seconds. Add tomatoes, chicken broth and cream or coconut milk. Return chicken thighs to the pan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover slightly and simmer 25-30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through to 165 degrees.
• Adjust seasoning, stir in cilantro. Serve with brown basmati rice. Garnish with cilantro sprigs and plain yogurt if desired.
