This Coconut Curry Chicken dish is cooked with Potatoes and is not only a super flavorful dish, but it’s also easy to make and healthy for you!  I have my mom to thank for this one!  I learned this delicious recipe from her. Warning though, you are going to get SO hungry cooking this because the coconut milk smells amazing! 

Is Coconut Curry Chicken with Potatoes Healthy?

Some of the health benefits for this dish comes from the coconut milk and the potatoes. Coconut Milk is good for your heart, and boosts your immune system. Potatoes are packed with vitamin C and antioxidants!

What kind of Curry to use?

Which curry you choose for this curry chicken with potatoes is SO important and makes this either an amazing dish or just an okay dish. So, make sure you find yourself either a tasty curry powder or tasty curry paste!

If you like Thai, I recommend Thai Red curry paste. Of course you can really use any of your favorite curry paste/powder.

If you are thinking something else than Asian flavors, I’ve also tried Jamaican curry powder before and that ends up super tasty also.

How to make Paleo Coconut Curry Chicken?

Are you paleo? Because if so you might or might not find the fact that there are potatoes interesting. It used to be that white potatoes were a definite no-no on the paleo diet.

However, nowadays lots of folks feel that white potatoes are okay/not harmful to them (including me!).  So, if you prefer to avoid white potatoes… check out the paleo sweet potato version here.

What goes with Coconut Curry Chicken?

Rice is the obvious answer here I think. If you are keto or paleo, then you can also use cauliflower rice. I also like to eat some greens on the side, so any simple vegetable stir fry also work swell, such as:

• Sesame Asparagus Stir Fry
• Stir Fry Asparagus with Garlic
• Spinach Stir Fry with Garlic
• Chinese Stir Fry Cabbage with Dried Shrimp
• Stir Fry Napa Cabbage with Dried Shrimp

Can you freeze curry with potatoes?

Yes you can! Many people I know do this. I recommend freezing in batches if you really want to reheat it later. Then you can reheat each unit by itself.

How to make curry chicken with potatoes?

Anyway, here is how to make coconut curry chicken with potatoes…

Ingredients

• 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 medium sweet onion or yellow onion, sliced
• 1 russet potato, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 5 cloves of garlic, minced (about 2.5 tsp of minced garlic)
• 1 can of full fat coconut milk (13.5 oz)
• 4 tbsp curry powder or curry paste (or a mix of both!)
• 1 tbsp fish sauce (if you’re making Thai curry)
• 4 tablespoons of butter or coconut oil.
• Salt, as desired (really depends on the kind of curry powder/paste you end up using, some of them are already very salty)

Instructions

Do all your prep first, if you haven’t already: Cut your potatoes up in to small cubes,  slice up your onions, chop up your garlic, and cut your chicken in to small cubes.

Heat 2 tbsp of butter or coconut oil in a large skillet on medium low heat. Once it melts, add curry powder and/or curry paste in there.  Swirl it around until well blended.

Turn up the heat to medium high. Add in the coconut milk and mix well.

Add potatoes to the coconut curry blend, and bring to a boil and then let simmer.

While it’s simmering, in a separate skillet add 2 tbsp of butter or coconut oil on medium high heat. Add garlic and onions, and stir fry for 1 minute.

Add in the cubed chickens to the cooking pan with garlic and onion, and cook for 5 minutes, stirring to cook evenly. Transfer the chicken, onion, and garlic mixture to the cooking pan with the coconut curry blend.

Let it cook for about 10 minutes or when your potatoes and chicken is cooked thoroughly (and try not to die of hunger with all that delicious coconut milk aroma in the air!).

Remove from heat and serve! I recommend serving with some rice.
