Ingredients Needed

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
• 1 tablespoon curry powder
• 1 teaspoon turmeric
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for a little heat)
• 1 (13.5 ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 sweet potato, peeled and cubed
• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 1 cup cauliflower florets
• 1/2 cup frozen peas
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish
• Cooked rice, for serving

Step By Step Making

1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pot and cook for another minute until fragrant.
3. Stir in the curry powder, turmeric, cumin, and cayenne pepper (if using). Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until the spices are fragrant.
4. Add the chicken pieces to the pot and cook until lightly browned on all sides.
5. Pour in the coconut milk and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
6. Add the cubed sweet potato to the pot. Cover and simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the sweet potato is beginning to soften.
7. Add the broccoli and cauliflower florets to the pot. Continue to simmer, covered, for another 8-10 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
8. Stir in the frozen peas and cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through.
9. Season the curry with salt and pepper to taste.
10. Serve the chicken and vegetable curry hot over cooked rice, garnished with fresh cilantro.
