Ella's Easy Chicken Curry

This comes out of the Ella's Kitchen Cookbook (kid-friendly recipes) and we all loved it!  Exotic taste that is still appealing to kids.

Serves 4
Prep 10 min
Cook 30 min

Ingredients:
2 T. olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts cut into bite size pieces
1/4 inch piece fresh ginger grated (I just used a tsp or so of powdered ginger)
1 t. mild curry powder
1 small sweet potato, diced
4 carrots, sliced
1 c. coconut milk
1/2 c. vegetable stock
1 small mango, cut into chunks
1 1/4 c. trimmed green beans
2 T. finely chopped flat leaf parsley

Heat the oil in a large saucepan and add the onion and garlic.  Saute for 1 min. stirring, then add the chicken pieces and cook for 3-4 mins over med. heat, stirring every now and then until chicken pieces are golden brown all over.

Add the grated ginger and curry powder and cook for another 1 min, stirring all the time.  Add the sweet potato and carrots, then pour the coconut milk and stock and add the mango.  Mix everything together really well and bring the liquid to a boil.  Cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 20 mins until sweet potato is soft.

Add the beans and cook for another 3 mins until beans are just soft.  Finally stir in the parsley.  Serve immediately on a bed of rice or with a pita bread (we served ours on quinoa).
