A flavorful and creamy curried chicken dish that's easy to prepare and perfect for a cozy dinner.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt the butter.
Ensure the butter doesn't burn by keeping the heat moderate.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until softened.
Stir frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook until browned on both sides.
Cook the chicken in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the skillet.
Sprinkle the turmeric and curry powder over the chicken and stir to coat evenly.
Toast the spices slightly in the pan to enhance their aroma.
Pour in the coconut milk and add the sliced bell pepper. Stir well and bring to a simmer.
Adjust the heat to maintain a gentle simmer.
Cover the skillet and let the chicken cook through, about 15 minutes.
Check the chicken's doneness by cutting into the thickest part to ensure it's no longer pink.
Serve the curried chicken over cooked basmati rice.
Garnish with fresh cilantro for added freshness and color.
