Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 8 chicken thighs boneless, skinless, cut into 1" pieces
  • 1 large onion cut into large chunks
  • 3 small zucchini cut in half lengthwise and thickly sliced
  • 1 tsp garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp curry powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 2 tsp coarse salt
  • 30 oz coconut milk
  • 1 cup yellow or red grape tomatoes
  • cilantro to garnish

Directions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a stockpot over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the chicken and cook until chicken pieces are browned on both sides.
  3. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside, keeping the remaining oil in the stock pot.
  4. Add the onion and zucchini and saute until lightly browned.
  5. Add the garlic, curry powder, paprika, and salt and saute for 30 seconds.
  6. Add the chicken back into the pot, along with the coconut milk. Bring to a boil.
  7. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover the pot with a lid, and let simmer for 30 minutes, until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and is tender.
  8. Add the tomatoes to the pot in the last 5 minutes of cooking.
  9. Serve in a bowl with the coconut broth, like a soup. Top with cilantro.
