Equipment

  • 1 heavy bottom pot with lid

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons coconut or avocado oil
  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 onion, minced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced or grated
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 3 teaspoons yellow curry paste
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • 2 large carrots, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 medium sweet potato, diced about 2 cups
  • 1 small head of cauliflower, cut into florets about 3 cups
  • 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
  • 1 15oz can coconut milk
  • 1 cup good quality chicken broth
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 cups arugula or spinach
  • 2 tablespoons tapioca/arrowroot starch

to serve:

  • white or brown rice or quinoa
  • cilantro leaves

Instructions

  • Heat coconut or avocado oil in a large heavy bottom pot over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces in an even layer and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Cook in batches so you don't overcrowd the pan. Once browned, remove the chicken to a plate and set aside.
  • In the same pot, add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Stir in the minced garlic, grated ginger, yellow curry paste, and curry powder. Stir together and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  • Add the carrots, sweet potato, and cauliflower florets to the pot. Stir to coat the vegetables in the curry mixture.
  • Return the browned chicken and all the juices accumulated to the pot. As well as the coconut milk and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  • Once simmering, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the curry simmer gently for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
  • Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
  • Just before serving, stir in the baby arugula or spinach until wilted.
  • Serve the curry over cooked brown rice or quinoa and garnish with cilantro leaves before serving. Enjoy!
