Instructions
 

  • Heat a large braising pan over medium heat for a few minutes. Add a thin layer of cooking oil and continue to heat for another 30 seconds.
  • Add the cubed 1.5 lbs chicken breast to the skillet and sauté until lightly browned and partially cooked, about 5 minutes.
  • To the skillet, add the tomato paste and stir to coat the chicken. Add the sliced bell pepper and red onion and stir to combine.
  • Add the 1 tsp salt, ½ tsp black pepper, 1 tsp ground coriander, 1 tsp turmeric, 1 tsp garlic powder and 2 tsp curry powder. Stir to coat and cook the vegetables and spices for 3 minutes over medium heat.
  • To the skillet, add the entire can of coconut cream and fill the can halfway with vegetable broth (about 1 cup), add it to the skillet. Add the coconut aminos and stir to combine.
  • Simmer the Coconut Chicken Curry for about 15-20 minutes on low.
  • Pour in the ½ cup frozen green peas to the skillet. Add the 1 tbsp arrowroot starch to a small bowl and whisk with 1 tbsp cold water. Pour into the skillet and simmer for a few minutes, allowing the curry to thicken and the peas to cook.
  • Finish with the juice of 1 lime and serve with rice & naan flatbread. Garnish with cilantro and green onion, if desired.
