Ingredients:
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon golden curry powder
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/4 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1 (13.5 ounce) can coconut milk
- 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Chicken
Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken until golden brown on all sides. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
2. Sauté the Aromatics
In the same skillet, add the onion and cook until softened. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for another minute until fragrant.
3. Add the Spices
Stir in the golden curry powder, turmeric, cumin, coriander, and red chili powder. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until the spices are fragrant.
4. Deglaze the Pan
Pour in the coconut milk and chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
5. Return the Chicken
Add the browned chicken back to the skillet and stir to coat in the sauce. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
6. Thicken the Sauce
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to form a slurry. Gradually whisk the slurry into the simmering curry sauce until thickened.
7. Season to Taste
Season the curry with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Serve the golden chicken curry over steamed rice or with your favorite bread for dipping. Garnish with fresh cilantro or chopped green onions for an extra burst of flavor.
