Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 2 teaspoons curry powder
- 1 pound chicken breasts, boneless and skinless, cut in 1/2 inch pieces
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 cup snow pea pods, chopped
- ½ cup red pepper, chopped
- 1 (13.5 ounce) can light coconut milk
- 1 1/2 cups carrots, shredded
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1/3 cup cashews, chopped
- 4 cups of hot cooked jasmine rice
Instructions
- Combine salt, flour, and curry powder in a medium sized bowl. Add the chicken and toss to coat. In a large sauté pan over medium high heat add the oil. When it just begins to shimmer, add the seasoned chicken and sauté for 5 minutes or until it begins to brown. Add the snow pea pods and red pepper and toss to combine. Stir in the coconut milk and reduce heat. Simmer for 7 – 8 minutes or until the chicken is done and the sauce slightly thickens, stirring occasionally. Stir in the carrots and cilantro and sprinkle with the cashews. Serve in bowls on top of the rice.
