The Indian dish Chicken Korma can be a pretty heavy dish, but I've lightened it up in this recipe without losing any flavor at all!
Yields1 ServingPrep Time10 minsCook Time20 minsTotal Time30 mins
1 cup basmati rice, cooked to package directions
2 tbsp coconut oil, divided
1 pound boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite sized pieces
2 tbsp water
1/3 cup slivered, toasted almonds
1 tbsp Madras curry powder
1 yellow onion, roughly chopped and divided
1-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and sliced
2 cloves garlic
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 13.5 ounce can unsweetened, light coconut milk
1/2 cup grape tomatoes, sliced in half
1/2 cup sliced white or crimini mushrooms
8 ounces green beans, sliced into thirds
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1
Cook the rice to package directions.
2
Heat 1 tablespoon of the coconut oil in a 12 inch cast iron skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken with some salt and pepper. Lightly brown the chicken for about 5-6 minutes, making sure to cook all sides. It does not need to be cooked through at this point. Transfer the chicken to a clean plate and set aside.
3
Puree the water, almonds, curry, 1/2 of the onion, ginger and garlic in a small food processor or blender. Set aside.
