Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp oil coconut, olive, canola
- 1/2 yellow onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 lb. chicken breasts cut into 1/4-inch thick slices; bite size pieces
- 3 carrots cut into 1/4-inch thick slices
- 2 russet potatoes cut into 1-inch cubes
- 3 Tbsp yellow curry powder
- 1 1/2 Tbsp red curry paste
- 1 14 oz. can full-fat coconut milk
- 3 cup low-sodium chicken broth more if needed
- 2 Tbsp brown sugar or coconut sugar
- 1 tsp fish sauce optional
Instructions
- In a large skillet set over medium heat, add oil. Once the oil is hot, add the onion and cook for 2 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Add chicken and brown, about 3 minutes per side. Add carrots and potatoes, and cook until lightly browned. Stir in curry powder and curry paste. Cook for 1 minute or until fragrant.
- Whisk in coconut milk, broth, sugar, and fish sauce. Gently simmer (covered or uncovered) for 20 minutes or until potatoes and carrots are cooked through.
- Remove from heat and serve with rice. Garnish with cilantro, if desired.
Notes
- Swap the chicken for 1 can of drained chickpeas for a vegetarian curry.
- Add chopped roasted cashews or peanuts for added protein and crunch.
- Add vegetables such as cauliflower, zucchini, sweet potato, peas, or celery root.
You can store this Yellow Curry Chicken in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. To freeze it, place your leftovers in an airtight container in your freezer for up to 2 months.
Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating. To reheat, warm it slowly in a saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through. Avoid high heat to prevent the sauce from separating. Alternatively, reheat in the microwave, using a microwave-safe dish, in 30-second intervals, stirring in between.
