8+ boneless, skinless organic chicken thighs (you’re welcome to use breasts – I find thighs have more fat/flavor, which I’m always looking towards)
1 large or 2 medium leeks, sliced and rinsed well
3-4 medium shallots, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 celery stick, chopped
1/4 cup coconut oil
Sea salt and fresh cracked black pepper
1-1/2 tablespoons curry powder
1-1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 can coconut milk (regular, not ‘lite’)
-
- In larges stainless skillet over medium heat, cook sliced leeks in coconut oil for 2-3 minutes
- Add chicken thighs to pan; season liberally with sea salt and black pepper; cook chicken for 5-6 minutes on each side; when turning over, season again with sea salt only
- Once chicken is done, remove to separate dish
- Add coconut milk, curry and turmeric
- Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring to blend/mix
- Cut chicken into small pieces (not too small though) and add to sauce – be sure to pour juice from the dish that was holding the chicken into the sauce
- Serve with steamed broccoli and/or vegetable salad
