Coconut Chicken Curry - Gluten and Dairy Free

I have the greatest friend.  

Most people that hear of our numerous, excessive food allergies look at us with wide eyes and a look that says, "Good luck with that!" But this wonderful friend and neighbor has not only offered to cook for us (!) but also has given me a couple of recipes that are safe for us!  Isn't it amazing?! 

This is one of her recipes.  Definitely a new favorite for us.  I have to double the recipe she gave me, 'cause everyone loves it so much.

Coconut Chicken Curry - Gluten and Dairy Free
2 chicken breasts, cooked and chopped up 
4-5 cups veggies (I use the Normandy Style frozen veggies at Costco - broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots) 
1/4 c. diced onions
4 Tbsp. Oil 
4 tsp. curry powder (I use one with no mustard in it)
1 1/2 tsp. salt 
2 tsp. garlic powder
2 Tbsp. grated ginger 
8 oz can of water chestnuts, drained 
2 cans full fat coconut milk 


Slice uncooked chicken and cook in skillet (you can also boil them or cook in your crockpot - whatever works for you).  Remove chicken then cook veggies and onions in oil until they are crisp tender. Add curry powder, salt, garlic powder, ginger, and water chestnuts and cook a few minutes more.  Add chicken broth and coconut milk and bring to a boil.  Simmer for several minutes more.  Add cooked chicken. 

Serve over cooked rice.  I cook 3 cups of dry rice for this recipe, and sometimes it is still not enough! 

Yum yum!
