Process
Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
- Cut your chicken breast or thighs into bite sized pieces and place inside a bowl. In a small bowl, mix together turmeric, ground ginger, black pepper, and sea salt. You can do this earlier in the day and let it rest in the fridge, or just let sit for a few minutes while the skillet warms up.
- Heat a dutch oven or large skillet to medium high heat. Once hot, add 1 tbsp avocado oil and be sure to coat the pan. Toss in the chicken. Cook for a few minutes per side until lightly browned; chicken will not be cooked all the way, but that is fine! Remove the chicken and set aside. Keep the pot hot.
- Add the remaining tbsp of oil. Now toss in the onion, ginger, and bell pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes then add the sweet potato, coconut milk, coconut aminos, and chicken. Increase the heat until the mixture begins to bubble, then reduce to a simmer. You want the mixture to have a decent amount of liquid (but not quite a soup)-- if you feel like it needs more, add in another 1/2 cup coconut milk or broth. Cover the pot.
- Let mixture braise for 15-20 minutes, then remove the lid. Stir in basil leaves and remove the pot from heat.
- Serve with lime juice over a bed of rice or cauliflower rice.
Notes
The coconut milk is going to be about 1 can, plus more of a 2nd can.
