Fast butter chicken
This is my go-to recipe for feeding my family in a hurry. You can make it with brined Jackfruit or chickpeas if you want a vegan option. If you use a roasted chicken, use the bones to make broth for the next morning. You can halve this recipe if desired, but I like to eat it for lunch the next day or freeze the leftovers for future meals.
SERVES
12
Ingredients
- 3 cups chopped onion
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon unrefined sea salt, divided
- 8 skinless chicken thighs or 3-4 breasts, chopped into 2-inch cubes
- 2-3 tablespoons mild curry powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 cups tomato sauce
- 3 cups pumpkin puree
- 14 oz canned coconut milk or cream
- 2 teaspoons honey or 5-8 drops of stevia or monk fruit (optional)
Directions
- In a large pot over medium heat, sauté onions in oil with half the salt until they soften, about three minutes.
- Add chicken (or chickpeas for a vegan option) and cook for 15 minutes.
- Add remaining salt, spices, tomato sauce, sweetener, pumpkin puree, and coconut cream to a blender and pulse to combine into a thick sauce.
- Add the sauce over the chicken and warm through for five minutes. Serve over cauliflower rice and salad or cooked quinoa if you eat grain. Enjoy!
