I first made this from a booklet of crock pot recipes. I was craving it today and decided to try it on the stovetop instead. It is just so tasty, and easy too. It is on the spicy side, so adjust seasonings as desired. I served this over cauliflower "rice" which only adds 30 calories per cup.

Makes 4 servings, 200 calories each, 8 g fat (5 g sat fat), 23 g protein, 4 g carb

1 lb boneless chicken breast
1 14-oz can light coconut milk
1 teaspoon curry powder
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tbsp cornstarch
2 tbsp cold water

Cut chicken into bite-size chunks. Season with salt. In a nonstick pan coated with cooking spray, brown chicken pieces.

Meanwhile, pour coconut milk into a bowl. Add curry powder, turmeric, and cayenne and whisk until well blended. Pour over chicken in pan. Simmer on low until chicken is tender, about 20-30 minutes.

Combine cornstarch and water and whisk until smooth; stir into pan. Simmer a few minutes until thickened.

Serve over jasmine rice or cauliflower "rice." Garnish with lime juice, green onions, cilantro, and/or chopped peanuts.

YUM!!

    That sounds yummy. I buy Vermont Curry mix at a Japanese store. This is how I make it.

    Ingredients:
    1lb chicken or meat of your choice cubed
    3-4 potatoes cubed
    carrot chips
    8 oz white mushrooms sliced
    1 small yellow onion diced

    Directions:
    Brown the chicken with a little veg. oil along with the onions in a big pot.
    Pour in 8 cups water in the pot along with the potatoes and carrots.
    Boil for about 15 minutes
    Add the mushrooms and boil for another 10 minutes.
    Break up the curry mix cubes and drop in one at time, stirring to desolve

    Serve with rice.

    Not sure on nutritional content as I have not made it since before I started on MFP

    I have heard of making it that way, but if you have a food processor, it's a lot easier. I love cauliflower rice.
