One-Pot Curried Coconut Chicken

The flavors of your favorite South Asian takeout, but with less fat

Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized cubes
  • 2 tablespoons curry powder (use yellow curry powder for milder or red for spicier)
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1 white onion, cut into strips
  • 1 can lite or regular coconut milk
  • 1 red bell pepper, seeded, stemmed and cut into strips
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1-1/2 tablespoons coconut palm sugar or honey

Directions

  1. In a large pan over medium-low heat, sauté the onion and bell pepper in olive oil and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt, stirring every so often until onions are softened and translucent, for about 10 minutes.
    Add the spices and chicken pieces, and cook for about 3 minutes, until spices are fragrant, and the chicken is a bit golden on the outside.
  2. Add the coconut milk and sweetener, stir, increase heat to high and bring almost to a boil. Reduce heat and allow to simmer for 10 minutes, until chicken is cooked through.

Serve over brown rice.
