SWEET POTATO
GREEN CURRY BOWLSServings: 6
A five ingredient recipe you'll make over and over again for it's ease of preparation on big flavor. A recipe that currently lives on my family's Greatest Hits list!
Ingredients
- 1 lbs chicken breast cut into ½” pieces
- 2 cups sweet potato peeled and diced
- 3 tablespoons green curry paste
- 3 (14 oz. cans) coconut milk
- 3 cups broccoli florets
Optional Extras
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- zest and juice from 1/2 lime
- jasmine rice
Instructions
- In a large skillet or pot over medium-high heat add the olive oil. Add the chicken pieces, seasoning liberally with salt and pepper, and pan fry for 10-12 minutes, until golden brown. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
- In the same skillet or pot, add the sweet potatoes, curry paste, and coconut milk. Simmer for 5-10 minutes until potatoes are fork-tender. Add broccoli and return the chicken to the skillet or pot. Simmer for 3 minutes until broccoli is bright green.
- If desired, finish with a handful of chopped cilantro and the juice from ½ a lime.
Serving Suggestion
- Serve with steamy white rice and a side of naan bread.
SWAP SUGGESTIONS
- Protein: Swap chicken breasts with chicken thighs, diced pork tenderloin, or shrimp.
- Vegetarian: Swap chicken breast for 12 ounces firm tofu pressed to remove as much water as possible. Pan-fry season with salt and pepper until crispy.
WEEKEND PREP/MAKE AHEAD
- Cut veggies (sweet potatoes and broccoli), and store in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
