Ingredients

  • 2 large chicken breasts, diced

  • 1/2 tin chickpeas, drained and rinsed

  • 1/2 tin butter beans, drained and rinsed

  • 1 bunch broccolini, chopped

  • 1 medium zucchini, diced

  • 1 small brown onion, finely diced

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated

  • 2 cup cooked rice

Spice Blend

  • 1 1/2 tsp ground turmeric

  • 2 tsp ground cumin

  • 2 tsp ground coriander

  • 1 tsp garam masala

  • 1/2 tsp chilli powder

  • 1/2 tsp cracked black pepper

  • 1 tsp celtic salt

  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Sauce

  • 1 tbsp coconut oil

  • 400g full fat coconut milk

  • 1/2 cup filtered water

  • juice of 1/2 lime

  • 1-2 tsp potato starch

Preparation

Step 1

Prep the chicken: Pat chicken dry with paper towel to help it brown properly and build flavour.


Step 2

Heat coconut oil in a large pan over medium heat.


Step 3

Add onion, garlic and ginger. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until soft and fragrant.


Step 4

Add the spice blend and toast for 30 seconds, stirring constantly to release the flavours.


Step 5

Add chicken and cook until lightly browned on the outside.


Step 6

Stir in chickpeas, butter beans, zucchini and broccolini.


Step 7

Pour in coconut milk and filtered water. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook uncovered for 15–20 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and the sauce thickens slightly.


Step 8

For a thicker curry, mix 1–2 tsp potato starch with a small splash of water to make a slurry. Stir into the curry and cook for another 1–2 minutes until thickened.


Step 9

Finish with fresh lime juice and adjust salt to taste.


Step 10

Serve with ½ cup rice per serve.


Enjoy 💕
