Instructions:
- Chop up chicken breast, onions, baby carrots, and potatoes to your liking.
2. Heat up a cap full of avocado oil in a pan or dutch oven. Don’t let the oil get too hot. Start swirling the oil around the pot as the oil becomes less viscous when the temperature increases.
3. Put those veggies in and start stirring!
4. Once the onions start browning, and you see the texture of the veggies start to change, add 5 cups of water in the bowl. Let simmer.
5. On a separate pan, heat up a pan, add some avocado oil, and start cooking the chicken breast. Note – no need to season it, the curry flavoring will season it plenty once you put it all in the pot
6. Stir chicken around until the chicken is almost white all over. Don’t worry about not thoroughly cooking the chicken at this point because you’re going to put it in the Dutch oven next, effectively cooking the chicken as you simmer it in water.
7. Do as I exactly said in the previous step, and dump the almost cooked chicken into the Dutch oven! You’re almost there!
8. Once the potatoes have softened enough to your liking, add the curry paste in.
(Personally, I like to touch the potatoes with a wooden spoon, and if I see an indent in one, then I know I’m good – you’ll know what I mean when you do this)
9. Keep mixing the curry until you achieve your desired consistency. I like my curry nice and thick, and not as watery, so I’m patient about it and wait a few more minutes to let the curry thicken.
Now you’re done! Scoop up some rice, and serve yourself!
Use the nutrition facts for the curry I posted above as reference!
Enjoy your curry!
