Chicken, Tomato & Green Bean Curry

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

I mentioned last week just how much I am loving Vij’s At Home. This cookbook is spot-on and so easy to cook from.

One of my new favorite weeknight dishes is this {Paleo} Chicken Curry Recipe. It is essentially chicken, tomatoes and green beans with a simple yet complex-tasting blend of spices.

Chicken, Tomato & Green Bean Curry from www.EverydayMaven.com

Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner (especially since most of the prep work can be done the night before or early in the morning) and makes enough to ensure lunch the next day.

I like to serve this aside cauliflower rice and a nice green salad.

NOTES:

  • Vij calls for red onion but I have been using mostly sweet onions in my cooking since they are in season right now (Walla Walla Onions) and super cheap.
  • You could substitute chicken breast but I recommend making sure it is boneless and skinless.

Instructions
PREP:
  1. If you have food processor use it to chop the onion. Set aside and separately chop the garlic. If not, chop by hand and make sure to keep them separate. Combine cumin, chili powder, salt, turmeric and cayenne pepper in a small dish.[img src="http://www.everydaymaven.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/04-IMG_9667-533x400.jpg" alt="Paleo Chicken Curry from www.everydaymaven.com" width="533" height="400" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-10224"]

  3. Finally, wash and trim green beans then cut into 1" pieces.[img src="http://www.everydaymaven.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/06-IMG_9670-533x400.jpg" alt="Paleo Chicken Curry from www.everydaymaven.com" width="533" height="400" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-10226"][img src="http://www.everydaymaven.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/07-IMG_9671-533x400.jpg" alt="Paleo Chicken Curry from www.everydaymaven.com" width="533" height="400" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-10227"]
COOK:
  1. Heat a large soup pot over medium high heat. Once hot, add Ghee. Add chopped onion and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.[img src="http://www.everydaymaven.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/08-IMG_9673-533x400.jpg" alt="Paleo Chicken Curry from www.everydaymaven.com" width="533" height="400" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-10228"]
  2. Toss in garlic and cook an additional 2 minutes, stirring constantly.[img src="http://www.everydaymaven.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/09-IMG_9674-533x400.jpg" alt="Paleo Chicken Curry from www.everydaymaven.com" width="533" height="400" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-10229"]
  3. Next add in spices, cook about 45 seconds until fragrant, stirring constantly.[img src="http://www.everydaymaven.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/10-IMG_9675-533x400.jpg" alt="Paleo Chicken Curry from www.everydaymaven.com" width="533" height="400" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-10230"]
  4. Add crushed tomatoes, stir to combine and cook 4 to 5 minutes.[img src="http://www.everydaymaven.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/11-IMG_9678-533x400.jpg" alt="Paleo Chicken Curry from www.everydaymaven.com" width="533" height="400" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-10231"]
  5. Stir in chicken along with water (or broth) and bring to a boil. Once boiling, cover, reduce heat to medium and cook for 10 minutes.[img src="http://www.everydaymaven.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/12-IMG_9679-533x400.jpg" alt="Paleo Chicken Curry from www.everydaymaven.com" width="533" height="400" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-10232"][img src="http://www.everydaymaven.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/13-IMG_9680-533x400.jpg" alt="Paleo Chicken Curry from www.everydaymaven.com" width="533" height="400" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-10233"]
  6. Remove lid, make sure chicken is cooked through by testing a piece. If so, stir in green beans and cook uncovered for about 5 minutes. You want the green beans to be slightly crunchy and bright green. Serve and Enjoy![img src="http://www.everydaymaven.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/14-IMG_9687-533x400.jpg" alt="Paleo Chicken Curry from www.everydaymaven.com" width="533" height="400" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-10234"]

    I didn’t have any curry paste (which I usually use) so I was trying to find a recipe that didn’t use it, and found yours! Both my husband and I enjoyed it!

    I actually tried this tonight but used frozen green beans to cut down on time and then added a cup of low sodium chicken broth, a cup of water, and a cup of quinoa and let the quinoa cook and it was amazing! Such an awesome one pot dinner! Plan on trying a crock pot version soon!

    We ate at Vij on a visit to Vancouver. It was really spectacular. Thanks for sharing this recipe. I plan on making it tonight in my pressure cooker because I am obsessed at how quick and easy meals are in it. I think this will translate great to it.

    I made this tonight and it was so good! I even got my wife to try it (she tends to be very picky) and she is now eating a second bowl! Seriously your recipes never cease to amaze me!

    I’ve got this simmering on the stovetop in my dutch oven right now. It smells great.
    Going to add the beans later, since they were leftover cooked from yesterday. Didi I already say it smells great!
