Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large chicken breast cut into bite sized pieces
- 1 small zucchini julienned
- 1 1/2 cups carrots sliced
- 1/2 large onion diced
- 1 1/2 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 1 cup chicken stock
- salt & pepper to taste
- 1 can unsweetened coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons all natural peanut butter
- 4 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons curry powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Turmeric
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 3/4 cup frozen peas
- peanuts for garnish, optional
- Toasted Coconut for garnish, optional
- Brown rice for serving
Instructions
- In a large pot or deep skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add in chicken and cook 2 minutes or until mostly cooked thoroughly.
- Add in zucchini, carrot, and onion and sauté five minutes. Sprinkle in flour and cook another minute.
- Add in chicken stock, salt, and pepper. Bring to boil and reduce to simmer. Liquid won't thicken very much at all--this is normal.
- Stir in coconut milk, peanut butter, sugar, and spices. Simmer 5 minutes. Before serving, stir in heavy cream and peas. Cook another minute to warm peas through and serve over brown rice. Top with peanuts and toasted coconut.
