Instructions
Step 1
Cook the chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Step 2
Sauté the aromatics: In the same pan, add the chopped onion, garlic, and ginger. Cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Step 3
Add the spices: Stir in the curry powder, cumin, paprika, and turmeric. Cook for 1 minute to toast the spices.
Step 4
Make the sauce: Pour in the coconut milk, soy sauce, fish sauce (if using), and brown sugar. Stir well, then return the chicken to the pan. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it cook for 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Step 5
Add the basil: Stir in the fresh basil leaves and simmer for another 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 6
Serve: Spoon the spiced coconut basil chicken over hot rice. Garnish with fresh lime wedges for a zesty kick.
