Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 medium, diced yellow onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon, minced ginger
- 1 thinly sliced red bell pepper
- 1 medium, sliced zucchini
- 1 can (13.5 oz), full-fat coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons red curry paste
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 0.5 cup, chopped fresh cilantro
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups cauliflower rice
Instructions
Dice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
In a large skillet or wok, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat.
Add the diced onion to the skillet, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced red bell pepper and zucchini, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
Push the vegetables to the side of the skillet and add the diced chicken. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned on all sides.
Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the red curry paste, mixing well to coat the chicken and vegetables.
Pour in the coconut milk and add the fish sauce, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine all the ingredients.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, cover, and cook for about 10 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.
Add the lime juice and fresh cilantro to the skillet, stirring well.
While the curry simmers, prepare the cauliflower rice by microwaving it or lightly sautéing in a separate pan according to package instructions or preference.
Serve the curry hot over a bed of cauliflower rice and garnish with additional cilantro if desired.
