1. Chicken Vegetable Curry Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup fresh broccoli florets
- 1 cup fresh cauliflower florets
- 1 cup chopped carrots
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
- 2 teaspoons curry powder
- 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 2 cups coconut milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup lime juice
- Hot rice, for serving
Instructions
In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the diced chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is lightly browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
In the same pan, sauté the diced onion until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring constantly to prevent the garlic from burning.
Stir in the broccoli florets, cauliflower florets, and chopped carrots. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the vegetables start to soften slightly.
Add the tomato paste, grated ginger, curry powder, Cajun seasoning, and Italian seasoning. Stir to coat the vegetables and cook for 1 minute to toast the spices.
Pour in the chicken broth and coconut milk. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then return the seared chicken and any accumulated juices to the pan.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the curry simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Then remove the pan from the heat and stir in the lime juice.
Serve the chicken and vegetable curry over hot steamed rice.
This recipe is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a cozy weekend gathering. Enjoy the vibrant colors, the tender chicken, and the medley of flavorful vegetables in every bite!
