Coconut chicken curry, a quick and easy recipe that is ready in about 20 minutes. Boneless chicken breast simmered in a rich coconut sauce with AIP compliant spices make a delicious chicken curry for the whole family.

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.

Ingredients for this AIP, paleo and whole 30 coconut chicken curry

Boneless, skinless chicken breast
Raisins : make to choose additive free raisins
Onion: I use yellow onion but you can also use white onion
Oil of your choice. I often use coconut oil
Coconut milk : choose coconut milk that contains only coconut and water without any additives
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.

Right before serving, add the cilantro or parsley. And voilà! If you are on an AIP, paleo or whole30 diet you can serve this with cauliflower rice (regular rice if you’re not on one of these diets) or with sweet potatoes and/or spinach.
Bon appétit !
