Ingredients

4

4 servings

  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tomatoes, seeded and chopped
  • 1 (14 ounce) can light coconut milk
  • 1 bunch chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  • Mix together cumin, cayenne pepper, turmeric, and coriander in a large bowl. Add chicken and season with salt and pepper; rub spices into chicken.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken in hot oil until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 10 to 15 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken to a serving dish and set aside.
  • Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in the same skillet. Cook and stir onion, jalapeño peppers, ginger, and garlic in hot oil until onion is tender, about 5 minutes. Mix in tomatoes and cook until tomatoes are softened, 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in coconut milk and cook until sauce is warmed through.
  • Spoon sauce over chicken and garnish with parsley.
