Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine your spices for the marinade, ensuring an even distribution. Dice the chicken into bite-sized pieces and sprinkle the spice blend over the chicken. Toss to coat thoroughly and let it marinate for about 30 minutes.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and jalapeño peppers, sautéing until the onions become translucent, about 3 minutes. Mince the garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant. Transfer the sautéed mix to a plate and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of oil and increase the heat to medium-high. Add half of the marinated chicken pieces in a single layer. Sear each side until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes. Remove the chicken and set it aside with the sautéed vegetables. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
- Reduce the heat to medium and pour the coconut milk into the skillet, scraping any flavorful brown bits left from the chicken. Stir the milk for about 3-4 minutes until it slightly thickens. Pour in the Worcestershire sauce, allowing the mixture to meld together.
- Return both the sautéed vegetables and cooked chicken back to the skillet. Add the fresh basil leaves and grated ginger. Stir well to combine, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until everything is heated through and fragrant.
- Spoon the Basil Chicken in Coconut Curry Sauce over a bed of rice, quinoa, or cauli-rice. Garnish with extra fresh basil if desired. Serve hot.
