Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 2 servings

Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 onion, chopped
1 tablespoon peeled and chopped ginger
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon turmeric
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 (5- to 6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breasts, sliced into 1-inch pieces
1 floret broccoli, chopped
1 small floret of cauliflower, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
1 cup whole-grain couscous, prepared according to instructions on the box

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    1. Combine the oil, onion, ginger, garlic, turmeric, curry powder, and brown sugar in a large skillet and cook over medium heat until onions turn clear and smell sweet, about 5 minutes.

    Step 2

    2. Add the sliced chicken breasts and cook until the meat is done, about 5–7 minutes.

    Step 3

    3. Add 1 cup of water along with the broccoli, cauliflower, and carrot. Cook for about 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. Add water as needed to maintain a saucy consistency.
