Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons coconut or olive oil
  • 1 large sweet Vidalia or yellow onion diced small
  • 1 to 1 ½ cups shredded carrots
  • 1 large red bell pepper diced small
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast diced into bite-sized pieces
  • 3 to 5 cloves garlic finely minced or pressed
  • 2 to 3 teaspoons ground ginger or 1 tablespoon fresh ginger finely chopped
  • 2 teaspoons ground coriander
  • ¼ cup Thai red curry paste or to taste (if you’re very sensitive to heat, add 1 tablespoon first and more later if desired)
  • 2 large sweet potatoes peeled and diced into 1/2-inch pieces
  • two 15-ounce cans coconut milk I used lite; full-fat will deliver a richer/thicker result
  • 32 ounces low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 teaspoon kosher salt or to taste

  • 3 cups Fresh Spinach Leaves about 3 heaping handfuls

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. To a large skillet, add the oil, onion, and sauté over medium-high heat until the onion begins to soften about 5 minutes; stir intermittently.
  2. Add the carrots, red pepper, chicken, and cook for for about 3 minutes or until vegetables begin to soften and chicken is seared (does not need to be cooked through); flip and stir often to ensure even cooking.
  3. Add the garlic, ginger, coriander, Thai red curry paste, and cook for about 1 minute, or until fragrant; stir frequently.
  4. Add the sweet potatoes, coconut milk, broth, salt, pepper, and stir to combine. Allow the mixture to gently boil for about 10 minutes, or until sweet potatoes are tender and done.
  5. Turn off the heat and add the spinach, cilantro, lime juice, and stir to combine. Stir for about 1 to 2 minutes or until the spinach has wilted.
  6. Taste and optionally add additional curry paste, salt, pepper, etc. to taste. Serve immediately.
