A quick and healthy stir fry featuring tender chicken, sweet potatoes, and nutrient-rich kale, seasoned with curry and turmeric for a flavorful one-pot meal.
Ingredients
- 2 cups (480 ml) cubed skinless boneless chicken
- 1 cup (240 ml) cubed cooked peeled sweet potato yam
- 10 stalks of chopped Lacinato kale
- 1 1/2-2 tbsp Sadaf curry powder
- 1/8 tsp turmeric powder
- 3 tbsp oil
- Salt to taste

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Sadaf curry powder and can I substitute another curry powder?
Sadaf is a Persian-American brand of curry powder that the author calls for by name (1 1/2–2 tbsp). Any mild to medium curry powder will work as a substitute; the amount can be adjusted to your spice preference since both the curry powder and the 1/8 tsp turmeric are the primary seasoning for this three-ingredient stir fry.
Should the sweet potato be raw or pre-cooked before it goes in the pan?
The recipe calls for cubed cooked peeled sweet potato — it should already be tender before you add it to the pan. It is stirred in with the spiced chicken and only needs 3–5 minutes to heat through, after which the chopped kale is added for a final 2–3 minutes.
