Follow The Directions
01
Step
Rinse chicken pieces under cold water and pat dry with paper towels to ensure even browning. (5 minutes)
02
Step
In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. (2 minutes)
03
Step
Add chicken pieces, skin side down, and brown on both sides. This step is crucial for developing flavor and should take approximately 8-10 minutes. Don't overcrowd the pan; work in batches if necessary.
04
Step
Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in curry powder, chutney, and sliced red bell pepper. (2 minutes)
05
Step
Cover the skillet and simmer for 30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
06
Step
Just before serving, top the chicken with lime wedges, chopped green onions, and chopped peanuts. (2 minutes)
07
Step
Serve immediately over a bed of hot cooked rice, such as basmati or jasmine, for an authentic experience.
For a richer flavor, marinate the chicken in curry powder and a tablespoon of olive oil for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
Adjust the amount of curry powder to your preference. For a milder flavor, start with 2 tablespoons and taste as you go.
Feel free to experiment with different types of chutney. Mango chutney adds a particularly delicious sweetness.
If you don't have red bell pepper, other vegetables like onions or carrots can be substituted.
To make this dish spicier, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a finely chopped chili pepper to the skillet along with the curry powder.

May 7, 2025I've made this recipe several times now, and it's always a hit! I sometimes add a splash of coconut milk at the end for extra creaminess.
