Curry Cauliflower Chicken

January 12, 2015 By Tekesha 2 Comments

Curry Cauliflower Chicken

“OHHHHHHHH MYYY GAHHHH, YOU GUYYYZZZZZZ, THIS.RECIPE.IS. uh-MAY-zingggggg!” Lol! Have you noticed more and more bloggers writing this way? Is it endearing? Does it make readers sizzle with the anticipation previously reserved for an Oprah giveaway episode??? How many people instantly unsubscribed from my blog after reading the first line and thinking I was serious? Ha ha ha! They say you need a BIG personality to succeed in blogging and cut through the crowded environment. Maybe that’s part of it.

Well, this recipe IS indeed scrrrrrrrrumptious (okay, I’ll stop) even though it’s not exactly the first time it has appeared on the blog. It’s similar to Curry Chicken with Butter Beans, except it includes some ingredients I forgot the first time (garlic and thyme; thanks Mom and Dad!), includes one I wanted to experiment with (ginger), and I’ve swapped in cauliflower for the butter beans to make it more substantial. The cauliflower functions almost as a side dish as long as you are careful not to break it apart too much while cooking, which eliminates the need for rice or something similar.

Jamaican-style, easy curry chicken recipe with a healthy serving of cauliflower. Just toast your spices, brown your chicken and let it simmer with the cauliflower for a quick weeknight meal. No side dish necessary!
Author: Tekesha @ EatMoreFoodProject
Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • 4 tbsp oil
  • 4 tbsp curry powder
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 3 sprigs of thyme, leaves only
  • 3 scallion, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 whole chicken, cut into pieces (approximately 3 lbs)
  • 2 16-oz bags frozen cauliflower
  • 2 cups of water
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and Pepper
Instructions
  1. In a large pot, add oil, curry powder, ground ginger, thyme, scallion and garlic.
  2. Toast over medium high heat while stirring continuously for approximately 2 minutes.
  3. Add the chicken and let it brown on each side for approximately 4 minutes. You just want to create a bit of a curry crust on the chicken, not cook it all the way through.
  4. Add cauliflower and water to the pot.
  5. Stir to combine so that the cauliflower starts to drink up some of the curry sauce.
  6. Cover and drop the heat down to medium.
  7. Simmer for approximately 35 minutes, until chicken is cooked through, stirring very gently about half way through.
  8. Add garlic powder and onion powder and season with salt and pepper to taste. I normally do not finish off curry with garlic powder and onion powder, but I find that the cauliflower needs something extra to help it match the flavor of the chicken.

      Ha ha ha! Thanks, Mandy! I considered doing Whole 30 this month, but then I got incredibly sick and had no time to meal plan. Maybe I’ll give it a try in February. 🙂
