Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the cubed golden potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 25-30 minutes or until golden and crispy.
While the potatoes are roasting, cook the rice according to the package instructions.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and season with paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 6-7 minutes, or until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the coconut milk, chicken broth, and tomato paste. Simmer for 10 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and the flavors have melded together.
To serve, scoop rice into bowls, top with the creamy paprika chicken, and add the roasted golden potatoes. Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired.

Notes

Vegetarian Option: Swap the chicken for tofu or chickpeas for a vegetarian version. The creamy paprika sauce will still shine with these options.

Spice Level: Add cayenne pepper or red chili flakes for a spicier version.

Different Potatoes: You can use regular potatoes, sweet potatoes, or even carrots in place of the golden potatoes.

Grains: Instead of rice, serve the curry over quinoa or couscous.
