What to do with leftover ingredients?
Some recipes request 1/2 of the can or a few ounces leaving you with leftover ingredients. Place the remaining ingredients in ice cube trays and place them in the freezer. After the cubes are frozen, pop them out and store them in a ziplock bag for later use.

Paleo Curry Cashew Chicken over Broccoli
- Total Time: 45
- Yield: 3 1x
- Diet: Gluten Free
Description
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 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.
Using an old flour sifter helps sprinkle the seasoning on the chicken - Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat and add onions and chicken. Cook 8 minutes or until chicken is brown, stirring constantly.
- Meanwhile, fill a medium saucepan with 2 quarts of water with salt over high heat. Bring to a boil and add broccoli. Reduce heat to medium and boil for 4 minutes. Remove broccoli to a colander with a slotted spoon. 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 15 minutes.
- Place broccoli on a plate and stop with chicken sauce.
- Sprinkle with cashews pieces, cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
Notes
This is a paleo meal, but you can serve over your favorite rice if not following a low-carb diet.
