Ingredients
- 3 tbsp ghee or coconut oil
- 1 lb organic chicken thighs boneless, skinless
- sea salt to taste
- 1 onion large yellow or white, sliced
- 3 inch ginger peeled and minced
- 6 cloves garlic chopped
- 2 lbs sweet potatoes scrubbed and cut into chunks
- 1 head cauliflower leaves removed and cut into florets
- 1 red bell pepper seeded and chopped
- 32 oz organic chicken stock
- 15 oz crushed tomatoes
- 1 cup almond butter
- 1⁄2 cup dry roasted almonds or cashews
- 1 tbsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp cayenne
- 1⁄2 cup fresh cilantro chopped
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat the ghee or oil in your largest, heavy saucepan over medium-high heat. Salt the chicken thighs on both sides and then brown them on each side in the oil - you may need to do this in two batches. Set the chicken pieces aside after they are browned.
- Add the onion to the pot and saute for 3-4 minutes, stirring often and scraping any browned bits off the bottom of the pot. Add the ginger and garlic and saute another 2 minutes, then add the sweet potatoes, cauliflower and bell pepper and stir until well until combined. Saute for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the chicken broth, crushed tomatoes, almond butter, almonds/ cashews, coriander and cayenne and stir well to combine. Bring to a simmer then cover the pot, lower heat, and simmer gently for 60 minutes or until the chicken meat falls apart easily.
- Using tongs remove chicken and lightly shred, then add back into the pot and mix well.
- Add salt and additional cayenne if needed, then season with black pepper. Stir in the cilantro and serve.
