Smothered pork chops may be an iconic soul food specialty, but this recipe proves you can smother anything. All it really means is coating slow-cooked meat with a blanket of saucy aromatics that end up as gravy too. Here, I’ve buried chicken thighs under a Caribbean-inspired coconut milk simmer of onions, garlic, and, of course, chile. Finally, the curry powder and lime balance the richness with spiced heat and a bright citrus pop.
