Ingredients

Coconut Curry Sauce

  • 1 Tbsp Oil - I used coconut oil
  • 2 Shallots minced
  • 1 Tbsp fresh ginger minced
  • 2 Tbsp red curry paste
  • 1 - 14 oz. can regular coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth
  • 3 Tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp red pepper chili flakes
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

Tacos

  • 4-6 flour soft taco tortillas
  • 1 Tbsp Oli
  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into small chunks
  • half an onion chopped
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup red cabbage shredded
  • 1/2 cup carrots shredded
  • 1 cup asparagus chopped
  • Optional: Limes fresh basil, and sesame seeds for serving

Instructions

  • 1.) In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet heat oil over medium-high heat. Add shallots and
  • ginger and cook 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently to keep from burning.
  • 2.) Add Chicken and cook until no longer pink in the middle, about 5 minutes. Salt and
  • pepper to taste.
  • 3.) Lower heat to medium-low, and add curry paste. Cook two minutes, stirring vigorously
  • to fully coat chicken with the paste, then add coconut milk, sugar, pepper flakes and
  • paprika.
  • 4.) Allow mixture to simmer for 10 mins, while prepping the veggies. Don’t be afraid to
  • allow the sauce to simmer - we want it to reduce to about 1/2 - 1/4 its original volume to
  • concentrate the flavors.
  • 5.) Steam asparagus and broccoli until softened but still firm to the bite. The colors should
  • be bright and fresh. Shred the cabbage and carrots.
  • 6.) Assemble your tacos to your linking - Enjoy!
