Raw honey adds a touch of sweetness while caramelizing as the chicken simmers. When combined with full-fat coconut cream, it creates a rich and creamy texture. Tip: If you want to make this recipe keto-friendly, you can also omit the honey and enjoy as is!

To get started, blot any excess moisture from the chicken breasts and season with salt and pepper. Slice into large pieces or keep the chicken breasts whole, if you prefer. You can even substitute with slices of chicken thighs, depending on what you have readily available.

Next, brown the chicken in the hot coconut oil for about five minutes per side. Meanwhile, stir the raw honey, coconut cream, and curry paste together in a saucepan over low heat. Combine until smooth, then pour this sauce over the chicken in the skillet. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about fifteen minutes to fully cook – this will allow the flavors to marry. Serve hot and garnish with fresh cilantro or Thai basil.
