  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • Few grinds of course black pepper

Curry

  • 1 large yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 bulb fennel, trimmed and chopped
  • 4 inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and minced, about 2 tablespoons
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 can coconut milk
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 24 oz cubed butternut squash (about 4 1/2 cups)
  • Lemon juice from one lemon
  • 1/21 teaspoon of salt (to taste)
  • 1/4 cup mint torn
  • 2 cups shredded kale or chopped spinach (optional)
  • Naan, Cooked basmati rice or cauliflower rice (optional)

Instructions

Chicken:

  1. Mix the seasonings for the chicken in a bowl and rub into the chicken. Let sit while you prepare the veggies.

Curry:

  1. In a large dutch oven over medium, heat the oil until melted and shimmering and add the onions and fennel with a pinch of salt. Cook stirring occasionally until lightly browned, 8-10 minutes. Stir in the ginger and garlic and stir for 1 minute. Add in the broth, coconut milk, bay leaves, and chicken. Cover and simmer gently for 25 minutes. (You may need to adjust the heat to maintain gentle simmer)
  2. Stir in the butternut squash and cook until cooked through about 15 more minutes.
  3. Remove the chicken and shred with two forks into bite sized pieces. Remove the bay leaves and let the curry simmer for 5 minutes.
  4. Add the chicken back into the curry and stir in lemon juice and greens if using. Taste for salt (I used 1 teaspoon but you may need more or less depending on the chicken broth you use).
  5. Serve in bowls, sprinkled with mint.
