Low Carb Chicken curry

Ingredients

• 450 g chicken thighs, boneless
• 225 g broccoli
• 100 g fresh green beans
• 1 yellow onion, finely chopped
• 3 tablespoons butter or coconut oil
• 750 g coconut cream or coconut milk
• 1 tablespoon red curry paste
• 1 red chilli pepper, finely chopped or grated
• 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
• salt and pepper, to taste

Cauliflower rice

• 750 g cauliflower
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 90 g butter or coconut oil
• ½ teaspoon turmeric (optional)

Method

1. Melt butter or coconut oil in a pan.
2. Fry finely chopped onion, ginger and chilli pepper until they become fragrant and softened, about 5 minutes.
3. Add curry paste and chicken. Fry until chicken is light brown (5–10 minutes). Add more butter or oil if needed.
4. Chop broccoli and green beans and add to the pan.
5. Add the coconut cream or milk—only the solid part; discard most of the excess liquid (or save it to make smoothies)—season and let simmer for 15 minutes.
6. While the chicken is simmering, prepare the low-carb cauliflower rice.

 

Cauliflower rice

1. Using a grater or food processor fitted with a metal blade, grate the entire cauliflower head, including the stem.
2. Melt butter or coconut oil in a skillet. Add the cauliflower rice and cook over medium heat for 5-10 minutes, or until the rice has softened a bit.
3. Add salt and optional turmeric while frying.

 

Tip!

Turmeric is loaded with health benefits, and makes food look irresistible. But it’s not the only spice you can invite to the party. Try an herbed salt, curry powder, or paprika to mix it up!
