Chicken Curry
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients:
1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 tablespoons gluten-free curry powder
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust for desired spiciness)
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1-inch piece of fresh ginger, grated
1 can (14 ounces) coconut milk
1 cup gluten-free chicken broth
2 tablespoons gluten-free soy sauce or tamari
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
Juice of 1 lime
2 tomatoes, diced
Cooked rice, for serving
Directions:
- In a bowl, combine the gluten-free curry powder, turmeric, cumin, coriander, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper.
- Add the chicken pieces to the bowl and toss them in the spice mixture until evenly coated. Set aside.
- In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger to the pan. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and the mixture becomes fragrant.
- Add the chicken pieces to the pan and cook until they are browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the diced tomatoes and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes start to soften.
- Pour in the coconut milk, chicken broth, gluten-free soy sauce or tamari, and honey or maple syrup (if using). Stir to combine all the ingredients.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender, and the flavors have melded together.
- Stir in the lime juice and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed.
- Serve the chicken curry over cooked rice.
The aromatic flavors of the curry combined with the tender chicken make for a delicious and comforting meal. You can adjust the spiciness and sweetness according to your taste preferences.
