Instructions
- In a large skillet or pot, heat the coconut oil (2 tablespoons) over medium-high heat. Add the onions. Cook until they've softened and are beginning to brown (about 3 minutes).
- Add the garlic and ginger. Stir to combine and sauté for about thirty seconds, or until garlic becomes fragrant.
- Shake the can of coconut milk very well before opening it. Pour in the coconut milk, stir, and bring to a simmer.
- Add the green curry paste (2 tablespoons) and honey (1 tablespoon). Stir until combined.
- Add the chicken and sweet potatoes. Cover and simmer on low until chicken is cooked and sweet potatoes are soft, about 15 minutes.
- Turn off heat. Stir in baby spinach, cilantro, and basil leaves until wilted.
- Season to taste with salt, if necessary. Add the lime juice and stir.
- Serve curry over cooked cooked rice garnished with extra cilantro, basil, and lime wedges, if desired.
Notes
- Make it paleo/whole30: Omit the honey for Whole30. Serve with cauliflower rice to make it grain-free.
- Make it vegetarian: Use tofu instead of chicken- I recommend searing or baking it and adding it at the very end after the sweet potatoes are cooked.
- Money saving tip: use chicken thighs instead of breasts.
- Time saving tip: use frozen prepared sweet potatoes instead of peeling and dicing yourself.
- Freeze it: This green chicken curry can be frozen in an airtight container for up to 6 months, alone or portioned out with the cooked rice.
