Ingredients
  

Spices and Seasoning
  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 2 tablespoons yellow curry powder
  • 1 tablespoon garam masala
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper use to taste
  • salt
  • chili flakes
Vegetables and Fats
  • 6 tablespoons salted butter
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 medium sweet potato, chopped
  • 3 cups canned coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro for garnish
  • 2 cups fresh baby spinach
To Serve
  • cooked rice for serving

Equipment

  • Dutch oven

Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. In a large Dutch oven or Braiser, toss the chicken with the curry powder, garam masala, cayenne, and season with salt and chili flakes. Add the onions and 3 tablespoons of butter. Set the pot over high heat. Melt the butter and cook until the butter begins to brown around the chicken and you are smelling those spices.
  2. To the pot, add 3 tablespoons of butter and the sweet potatoes. Toss them around in the butter, mixing everything.
  3. Reduce the heat to low. Add the coconut milk and 1/2 cup of water. Add the cilantro to the top. Partially cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Stir in the spinach. Season to taste with salt and chili flakes.
  4. Serve the chicken and sauce over rice. Top with fresh cilantro. We love this with a warm piece of naan.
