2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium yellow onion diced
1 red bell pepper diced
3 garlic cloves minced
1 tablespoon finely grated fresh ginger or 1 teaspoon ground ginger
3 boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into 1-inch cubes (about 1 ½ pounds of chicken)
2 tablespoons curry powder
1 ½ teaspoons garam masala
1 teaspoon ground coriander
kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 (13.5-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
1 lime juiced (about 2 tablespoons juice)
4 cups cooked rice
¼ cup roughly chopped fresh cilantro

Saute the veggies. Heat the oil in a large sauté pan on medium heat. Add the onion and bell pepper and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and stir for another minute.
Add chicken and seasonings. Add the chicken to the pan along with the curry powder, garam masala, ground coriander, salt, and pepper. Sauté for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through, stirring frequently.
Make the curry sauce. Add the coconut milk and lime juice. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Garnish and serve. Add a portion of rice to a bowl and top with several spoonfuls of curry chicken. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
