Steps to cook
-
Prepare the ingredients. This is what you'll have on your plate – creamy curry chicken with fluffy pita 🥘✨ Prepare all ingredients ahead of time so the work goes smoothly.
-
Cut the chicken. Optional: If you have whole thighs, debone them as shown in the video, or check the instructions. Then cut the chicken thighs into strips about 2 cm wide. (If they are already boneless, just cut them.)
-
Sear the chicken. Season the strips with salt and pepper and sear them in a hot skillet with a little oil over medium-high heat until golden on all sides, about 4–5 minutes. Then remove them from the pan and set aside.
-
Chop the vegetables. Slice the onion and garlic into thin strips, and halve the cherry tomatoes.
-
Sauté the onion and tomatoes. In the same pan over medium heat, first sauté the onion for about 2 minutes, then add the cherry tomatoes and sauté until they soften and begin to release their juices.
-
Add the garlic and curry paste. When the tomatoes are soft, add the garlic and curry paste and continue to sauté for another 2 minutes while stirring, to release the spices' aroma.
-
Make the creamy sauce. Pour in the cream and simmer over low heat for at least 5 minutes, until the sauce reduces slightly and thickens. If it's too thick, add a little water and cook briefly more.
-
Warm the pita. Lightly toast the pita bread in a toaster, oven, or dry skillet until warm and soft.
-
Finish and serve. Return the seared chicken strips to the finished sauce (mix and briefly reheat if needed). Drizzle with lemon juice and optionally garnish with coriander 🌿 Serve immediately. Dip the pita into the sauce and enjoy
