This is such a warming, comforting recipe for these colder days; when you need a nourishing, delicious meal, this should be your go-to. It’s infused with so many great flavours and, surprisingly, it really doesn’t take that long to cook!
To make it, you need:
- 2 large chicken breast (about 500g)
- 450g sweet potato
- Large bunch of kale, without the hard stalks
- 1 400ml tin of coconut milk
- 2 large garlic cloves
- Juice from 1 lime
- 2 tsp chilli powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp ginger
- 1/2 tsp turmeric
- 1 bunch of fresh coriander (25g)
- 1/2 bunch or a small handful of fresh Thai basil
(If you like it extra saucy, add 2 tins of coconut milk and double the quantities of spices and lime juice).
Start by melting coconut oil in a pan and, once it’s runny, dice your chicken breasts straight into the pan. Add both garlic cloves, finely chopped, and and keep stirring until the chicken’s completely cooked through. Then add your coconut milk, all the spices, lime juice and bite-size pieces of sweet potato; simply turn the heat down, cover your pan and let it simmer for about 20 minutes until the sweet potato is soft. Once this is done and it’s bubbling away, add your fresh herbs and kale – you can substitute it for spinach if you wish – and cover for a few more minutes until the kale softens.
Serve with rice, more veggies or any other grain of your choice. It’s deliciously spicy, warming and the perfect comforting curry – and it makes enough for 2-3 portions so you’re guaranteed a quick, healthy lunch or dinner later on in the week!
