Ingredients List:

– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– ½ onion, chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– ¼ cup tomato paste
– 1 teaspoon ground cumin
– 1 teaspoon ground coriander
– ½ teaspoon ground turmeric
– ¼ teaspoon salt
– 2 cups chicken broth
– 1 can (~20oz) unsweetened coconut milk
– 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs or breast, cut into bite-size pieces
– 1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
– 1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and chopped
– 1 zucchini, cubed
– 1 carrot, grated
– 1 bunch green beans (about 1 cup), trimmed and quartered lengthwise
– 1/2 cup frozen edamame, thawed
– 1 cup rice, cooked according to package directions
– 1 avocado, sliced and halved
– 1 lime, juiced

Instructions:

1. Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and continue to saute for another minute or two.
2. Add the tomato paste, cumin, coriander, turmeric, and salt to the pan and stir well. Cook for a few seconds more before adding the chicken broth and coconut milk. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cover partially. Simmer for 10 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, season the chicken with salt and pepper and set aside.
4. Add the red bell peppers, yellow bell peppers, zucchini, carrots, green beans, and edamame to the soup. Simmer for another 5 minutes.
5. Remove the lid from the pot, increase the heat, and bring the soup to a boil. Reduce the heat and return the lid. Simmer for 5 minutes.
6. Add the chicken and simmer for 5-10 minutes more, depending on how done you like your meat. Remove the chicken from the pot and shred using a fork. Return the shredded chicken back to the pot.
7. Serve the curry over rice, garnished with the avocados, squeezed limes, and green onions. Enjoy!

Note: This curry makes a great meal when served with rice, but you can also serve it as a side dish or even as a sandwich filler. Just remember to adjust the serving sizes accordingly.
