Ingredients

  • 1 tsp kosher salt, additional to taste

  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper, additional to taste

  • 2 tsp curry powder

  • 1 tsp turmeric

  • 1 tsp cumin

  • 3/4 tsp smoked paprika

  • 2 tbsp ground ginger, divided

  • 2 tbsp avocado or olive oil

  • 3/4 large yellow onion, chopped

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 large sweet potato, cubed

  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced

  • 1/2 broccoli head, chopped

  • 6 baby bella mushrooms, sliced

  • 7 oz light coconut milk (about half of a can)

  • 1 lb ground chicken

  • 1 tbsp coconut animos or reduced sodium soy sauce

  • 4 -6 green onions, chopped, for topping

  • sesame seeds, for topping (optional)

Directions

  • Combine the salt, ground black pepper, curry powder, turmeric, cumin, smoked paprika, and 1 tbsp of ground ginger in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add in the garlic and conitnue cooking, stirring often, for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the sweet potato, bell pepper, broccoli, and mushrooms and cook until slightly softened, 5-7 minutes. Add the spice mix, stir to evenly coat the vegetables, and cook for another 5 minutes. Pour in the coconut milk, stir, and reduce heat to low, and simmer, uncovered, for 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400F and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • Make the chicken meatballs: in a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, coconut animos, green onion, 1 tbsp of ground ginger, and a generous pinch of salt and ground black pepper. With oiled hands, roll the mixture into 12 to 15 evenly sized meatballs and place on the lined sheet pan. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the meatballs reach an internal temperature of 165F.
  • Add the cooked meatballs to the simmering skillet, stir to combine, and remove from the heat.
  • Evenly divide the meatballs and vegetables among 4 plates, and garnish with chopped green onion and sesame seeds, if desired.

  1. I’ve made a lot of your dishes. Your recipes are so valuable to me. Everything I’ve made from your collection is simple enough for beginners with complex and varied flavors. They have healthy, whole ingredients, which are all pantry staples and affordable. I keep coming back to your page because I’ve learned you use the same staple ingredients in most of your recipes and I have very little waste if any. This recipe is one of my favorites. It is easy, with restaurant quality taste. I never learned to cook growing up, and because of your work, I am discovering that I can make many tasty and healthy dishes! Thank you
