    As I often do, the recipe here is a one serving recipe as it is very easy to multiply to get the number of servings that is convenient for you. For that, you can use the adjustable servings function on the recipe card.

    You can also check my chicken curry without coconut milk recipe.

    ⭐ Why you'll love this recipe

    • This chicken curry is deliciously creamy thanks to the coconut milk.
    • It is quick and easy to make.
    • Just a few simple ingredients.
    • This recipe happens to be dairy free, paleo, whole30 and AIP compliant but nobody will notice!

    📖 Ingredient notes

    all the ingredients for coconut chicken curry on a wooden board
    • Chicken. For this chicken curry, you will need boneless, skinless chicken breast.
    • Raisins. Make sure to use additive free raisins.
    • Onion. I use yellow onion but you can also use white onion.
    • Oil of your choice. I usually use coconut oil but you can use avocado oil or extra virgin olive oil if you prefer.
    • Coconut milk. Make sure to use coconut milk that contains only coconut and water without any additives. And do not hesitate to read my post about the true ingredients of Aroy D coconut milk.
    • Spices. Please note that this recipe has been created for people on an AIP diet which doesn't allow all spices. Although I am not an AIPer myself I love this recipe the way it is. But if you are not on an AIP diet and want to spice it up a little bit more, feel free to add a pinch of Cayenne or black pepper, ground coriander seeds, ground cumin... Again, if you are not an AIPer, you can also use a store bought spice mix like strong Madras curry (that is what I used to do before I changed my diet). But you have to know that spice mixes might contain casein (milk protein) or other things. Yes you have read correctly: casein in a spice mix! Luckily, it should be written on the package but you have to think about checking the package for this kind of ingredients. Since I have discovered this, I prefer to make my own mixes.

    For the quantities and complete list of ingredients for this creamy coconut chicken curry recipe, please see the recipe card below.

    🔪 Step by step instructions

    • Dice the onion.

    💭 What to serve with it

    If you are on an AIP, paleo or whole30 diet you can serve this creamy coconut chicken curry with cauliflower rice (regular rice if you’re not on one of these diets) or with sweet potatoes and/or spinach.

    👩🏻‍🍳Top tip
