Coconut Curry Chicken

BobbyDaniel · May 2012

I found a recipe on allrecipes.com and tweaked it a little to reduce the calories and to thicken it up.

2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 teaspoon salt and pepper, or to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons curry powder
1/2 onion, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk
1 (14.5 ounce) can stewed, diced tomatoes
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
2 tablespoons Stevia in the Raw
1 5.3 oz cup of Oikos plain Greek yogurt

Season chicken with salt & pepper, heat oil & curry in large skillet for 2 minutes, add onions and garlic, cook about another minute and then add chicken...either in small breast pieces or in chunks; cook for 5-7 minutes.
Mix remaining ingredients in crock pot and then add chicken, allow it to cook down 3-4 hours.
Before serving remove chicken and cut up or tear up chicken into smaller chunks, return to crock pot and prepare to serve.
We served it over quinoa, you can use rice or whatever you please.
Comes out to about 8 single cup servings, roughly about 171 calories each.
