Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large white onion
  • 1 large carrot diced
  • 1/2 to 1 cup of fresh canned, or frozen baby peas
  • 1/4 tsp of kosher salt extra to taste
  • 2 tsp curry powder - I use
  • 1 can 14 oz. unsweetened coconut milk I use
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 can 15 oz. diced tomatoes
  • 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 3 cups packed fresh baby spinach optional

Instructions
 

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a Dutch oven over low to medium heat. Add the diced chicken and keep turning the poultry until sealed on all sides.
  • Take the pot off heat (using mitts - that pot will be hot) and remove chicken, put your Dutch oven back over the heat.
  • Add the other tablespoon of olive oil then add onion, diced carrots, and salt, cook till translucent 2 to 3 minutes, stir to stop sticking and burning. Add curry powder while continually stirring for 1 minute.
  • Add coconut milk, tomatoes, and tomato paste. Stirring and scraping the bottom of the oven to bring any of the caramelized yumminess into the dish. It takes about 5 minutes to infuse the flavors.
  • Add the sealed chicken and peas, stir, bring the Dutch oven to a simmer, place the lid on and cook for 30 minutes - stirring halfway through.
  • After 30 minutes stir and add spinach leaves stir and cook until wilted.
