- Cuisine: Indian
- Diet: Gluten Free
Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon ginger powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken thighs cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 (14-oz) can chopped tomatoes
- 7 ounces coconut milk, unsweetened (use half of a 14-oz can and freeze the remainder)
- 1 Tablespoon red curry paste
- 2 Tablespoons tomato paste (1 ounce)
- 1/4 cup raw cashews, chopped
- 1 pound cooked broccoli – 2 broccoli crowns
- cilantro, chopped – for garnish
- 1 lime, cut into 3 wedges
Instructions
- Combine ginger, salt, and cayenne pepper in a shallow dish.
- Place 1″ chicken pieces on a small platter or cookie sheet. Sprinkle mixed spices over the top of the chicken and toss to coat all pieces. I use an old flour sifter, but sprinkling also works.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and chicken. Cook 8 minutes or until chicken is brown, stirring constantly.
- Meanwhile, fill a medium saucepan with 2 quarts of water and salt over high heat. Bring to a boil and add broccoli. Reduce heat to medium and boil for 4 minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove the broccoli to a colander. Rinse under cold water for a few seconds to stop cooking.
- Add tomatoes, coconut milk, tomato paste, and red curry paste and bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Place broccoli on a plate and top with chicken sauce.
- Sprinkle with cashew pieces and cilantro, and serve with lime wedges.
Notes
This is a paleo meal, but you can serve it over your favorite rice if you are not following a low-carb diet.
