Chicken Curry in a Hurry & Cauliflower Rice


My mouth is watering just writing this post!  I found this recipe in a magazine once and forgot about it until it showed up in our church cookbook.  I love just about anything curry and this is no exception.  It might even be one of my favorite curry recipes.  Here's what you'll need {plus chicken}....


Ingredients:

1 1/2 tbsp oil
1 medium onion, diced
3 tsp curry powder
1 can unsweetened coconut milk {I used lite}
1 cup canned diced tomatoes, drained {I used the whole can}
2 tbsp tomato paste {1/2 small can}
1 lb. cooked chicken breast, cubed or shredded
3 cups fresh spinach
salt to taste

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.  Add onion and lightly salt.  Cook until soft. Add curry powder and cook 1 minute more.  Stir in coconut milk, tomatoes and tomato paste.  Cook and stir for 5 minutes. Add cooked chicken and stir until heated through {3-4 min}.  


Add spinach and cook until just wilted, about 3 minutes.  It'll look like a lot, but you'll be surprised at how much it wilts down....


Salt to taste and serve over rice {or cauliflower rice!}.

Now for the CAULIFLOWER "RICE" portion of this post....

If you're watching calories and/or carbs, you're gonna want to try this!  I was so excited when I discovered this little trick.


Just finely chop cauliflower with a knife or one of these handy-dandy hand choppers {you could probably use a food processor, but I've never tried that}....


Put chopped cauliflower in a microwave-safe glass bowl with a lid or one of these Pampered Chef Micro Cookers....


Do not add water!  Just microwave for 5-7 minutes and use in place of rice.  Here it is again for you to see....


Go ahead and try it!  It might just transform some of your favorite dishes into something a little more healthy!
