Chicken Cashew Curry

Curry is one of my favorite, fast meals. The ingredients are super flexible, so it’s easy to make quickly from whatever’s in your fridge, and it’s always delicious! I was craving the chicken-cashew combo last week, so I threw together this curry in only about 30 minutes.

*full recipe below

To start, I chopped three shallots and two carrots:

I cooked these in a pan with about a tablespoon of coconut oil until the onion started to turn slightly translucent:

Next, I added one large chicken breast, cut into small pieces and cooked until the chicken was white on all sides:

Lastly, I added a half can of coconut milk, some curry and paprika, and about a cup of frozen broccoli:

I stirred to combined and let simmer for about 10 minutes until the broccoli was soft and the chicken fully cooked through. Just before the end, I put in about 1/3 cup of cashews:
