Instructions
- Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger to the skillet, sautéing until the ingredients release their fragrant aromas and the onion becomes translucent.
- Add the cubed chicken to the skillet, cooking until it's browned on all sides.
- Stir in the red curry paste, allowing it to cook for another minute so that it can fully release its flavors.
- Pour in the coconut milk, fish sauce, and lime juice, stirring well to combine. This forms your deliciously aromatic curry sauce.
- Reduce the heat to low and let the dish simmer for 15 minutes. This allows the chicken to cook through and absorb the flavors.
- Taste the curry and season with salt as needed.
- Serve the curry hot, garnishing it with a generous sprinkle of fresh cilantro for a burst of freshness.
- Enjoy your delicious and aromatic Keto Coconut Curry Chicken!
Tips
- For a spicier kick, you can add a diced red chili or a sprinkle of chili flakes.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water and stir this into the curry during the simmering stage.
- This dish pairs wonderfully with cauliflower rice for a complete keto meal.
