Basil Chicken in Coconut Curry Sauce

Dont let the ingredients intimidate you. This is really an easy easy recipe. I was kind of nervous about it since it is not something i would normally make, but it was so delicious and whips right up in 15 minutes. Keep in mind you will need the chicken to marinate for a couple hours.


Ingredients
2-3 Chicken Breasts
2 tsps curry powder
1/2 tsp salt and pepper (each)
1/4 tsp chili powder
1 red onion
2 jalapenos finely chopped and seeded
6 cloves garlic
1 Tbs dried Basil
1 Tbs olive oil
1 (14oz) can coconut milk
1 Tbs Cornstarch
1/2 Tsp powdered ginger
3-4 cups cooked minute rice

Cut chicken into 1-inch pieces. In a bowl mix curry, salt and pepper, and chili powder. Toss with chicken, cover and chill for 2 hours.
In a large skillet stir onion, basil, garlic, and jalapenos, in hot oil. Cook over medium heat 3-4 minutes until onions are translucent. Add chicken mixture and cook until no longer pink.
In a seperate bowl add coconut milk and cornstarch. Whisk until well combined and slowly add to chicken, whisking constantly. Cook until slightly thickened and bubbly. Stir in ginger. Serve over rice!!!!
