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.
