CHICKEN SWEET POTATO COCONUT CURRY

CHICKEN SWEET POTATO COCONUT CURRY

8 ingredients – 35 mins cooking time – 4 servings

All bone broths — beef, chicken, fish, lamb and more — are staples in the traditional diets of every culture and the basis of all fine cuisine. That’s because bone broths are nutrient-dense, easy to digest, rich in flavor and boost healing.

Bone broth or stock was a way our ancestors made use of every part of an animal. Bones and marrow, skin and feet, tendons and ligaments that you can’t eat directly can be boiled and then simmered over a period of days.

This simmering causes the bones and ligaments to release healing compounds like collagen, proline, glycine and glutamine that have the power to transform your health.

By regularly drinking bone broth or using it in recipes, you can help promote healthy gut integrity while reducing  permeability and inflammation.

Directions

  • Heat the coconut oil in a deep frying pan or wok, stir in the curry paste and fry for 1 minute. Add the chicken, sweet potatoes and lentils and stir to coat in the paste, then pour in the stock and coconut milk. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Tip in the peas, bring back to the boil and simmer for a further 4-5 minutes. Season to taste before serving.
  • Serve this mildly spiced curry with rice noodles, basmati rice or chappati breads and introduce your kids to curry
