Instructions

Step 1: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken thighs and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown, then remove and set aside.
Step 2: Add ginger and garlic to the same skillet, sautéing for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in curry powder and cook for 30 seconds until very aromatic.
Step 3: Pour in coconut milk and coconut aminos, scraping up any browned bits. Return chicken to skillet, add bell peppers, and simmer for 12-15 minutes until chicken is cooked through and sauce thickens slightly, stirring occasionally.
