🥘Ingredients
- 6 chicken thighs * or legs skin-on or off. Up to you.
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 leek * Sliced thin - optional but FANTASTIC.
- 3 inch Ginger Minced
- 1 teaspoons salt

👩🍳How to make the Chicken Curry:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Season chicken thighs with salt and set aside at room temp while you chop the veggies.
- Mince garlic, peel and mince ginger and slice the leek.
- Heat the olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high until almost smoking. Working in batches if needed, add the chicken skin-side down and cook until the skin is golden-brown, about 4 minutes on each side. Don't worry that it isnt cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
- Saute the garlic, ginger and leek for 2-3 minutes in the oil left in the pan. Add the green curry paste and stir. Add 1 can coconut milk and incorporate with a whisk. Bring to a simmer and stir until uniform. Turn off the heat.
- Add the chicken back to the pan skin-side up in a single layer in the sauce. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes or until the chicken reads 165F° with a meat thermometer.
- To serve: Spoon the sauce over the chicken and garnish with cilantro, red onion, and Serrano or jalapeno and serve with lime wedges. Make it a full meal with cauliflower rice, shirataki noodles or desired veggies.
