A flavorful chicken dish simmered in a creamy coconut sauce, perfect for a comforting meal.
Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Ensure the butter doesn't burn by keeping the heat moderate.
Add the chicken pieces and cook until they are golden brown on all sides.
Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Stir in the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until fragrant.
Stir frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.
Sprinkle in the curry powder and turmeric, stirring to coat the ingredients evenly.
Toast the spices briefly to enhance their aroma.
Pour in the coconut milk and add the thyme, green onions, and parsley. Stir well.
Scrape the bottom of the pan to incorporate any browned bits into the sauce.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the dish simmer until the chicken is cooked through.
Check occasionally to ensure the sauce doesn't reduce too much.
Serve the chicken with its sauce over rice or with bread, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
Warm the serving plates to keep the dish hot longer.
