Basil Chicken in Coconut Curry Sauce

3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

2 teaspoons curry powder

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon pepper

¼ teaspoon chili powder

1 medium red onion, chopped

5 cloves garlic, minced

2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and finely chopped (by seeding the jalapeno you lose most of the spice/heat but retain great flavor)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 14-ounce can light coconut milk

1 tablespoon dried basil

1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

3 cups hot cooked rice

Cut chicken into 1-inch pieces. Place in medium bowl. Stir together curry, 1/2 teaspoon salt, pepper and chili powder. Sprinkle over chicken, tossing to coat evenly. Cover and chill for 1 to 2 hours.

In a large nonstick frying pan, stir onion, basil, garlic and peppers in hot oil over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes, until onion is translucent. Add chicken and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook for 5-6 minutes until no longer pink.

. Carefully add  coconut milk to skillet, whisking vigorously. Cook and stir until slightly thickened and bubbly. Stir in ginger. Cook and stir for another minute. Serve over rice.
