Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 chicken breasts, diced into stew meat (about 1–1/2 pounds)

- 8 cloves garlic, minced
- 2-inch fresh ginger, peeled and rough chopped or minced

- Additional vegetables of choice (cauliflower florets, bok choy, fresh peas, zucchini, broccoli, etc).
- Fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Add coconut oil to a large stew pot and melt on medium low heat. Add onion and let sweat for 5 minutes, till they start to become translucent.
- Add chicken, salt and pepper and let chicken sear. Stir occasionally. Let cook for 6-8 minutes.
- Add garlic, ginger, curry, cumin, coriander and stir to activate.
- Add bell pepper, broth, coconut milks and vegetables. Bring to a boil, let simmer for 20 minutes.

Notes
- Have the butcher diced the chicken breast for you. Just ask for 1-inch cubes like beef stew meat.
- Prepare this dish with coconut oil in the summer and ghee in the winter. Use olive oil only if you don’t have the other fats in your pantry.
- Use the best quality chicken broth you have access to for this recipe. I use Bonafide Provisions in the freezer section. Avoid pasteurized boxed chicken broth and stock.
