Curried Basil Coconut Chicken







I've experimented around with this based on a hunger I was having.

I was craving something with a curry flavor.  I also wanted to use some coconut butter.  A lot of curry recipes call for coconut milk.

Traditionally curry's don't even use curry powder!! So I made up my own food, like I normally do when I'm not stealing it from someone else.

1) Start rice maker with desired amount of Rice( used a touch of curry powder for color on the above photo ).
2) Dice, Slice, Cube Chicken meat quantity of choice
3) heat non stick skillet with glob of Coconut Oil
4) Mix spices* ( curry powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, basil, paprika, ginger and ground mustard )
5) Add chicken to hot oil
6) Add spice mixture to chicken, Mix Thoroughly.
7) Once chicken is done, add globs of coconut butter to desired coating.  It'll melt right in.  Mix well.
8) Top chicken on a plate or bowl of the rice.

For the spices, depending on my mood I vary quantities.  Sometimes it's more cayenne and ginger, sometimes it's a lot of garlic, light cayenne.

As pictured above you could make 1 plate worth with 1 chicken breast or you can make a lot at once
