Servings 4 people
Equipment
- Medium pot
- Colander
- Large frying pan
- Tongs
Ingredients
Spice Mixture
- 1½ teaspoons low FODMAP curry powder
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- ¾ teaspoons cumin
- ½ teaspoon garam masala
- dash of cayenne pepper optional
- black pepper to taste
Other Ingredients
- 12-14 ounces sweet potato starch noodles or rice noodles if not Paleo or Whole30
- 1 tablespoon garlic-infused olive oil
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs trimmed and cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 small Yukon gold potato omit for strict Paleo
- 1/2 red bell pepper diced
- 1/2 zucchini diced
- 1/2 cup chopped green onion tips
- 1 cup full fat unsweetened coconut milk
Instructions
- Cook noodles in boiling, salted water according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
- Heat the garlic-infused olive oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat. Once hot, evenly distribute chicken pieces across the pan and let brown on one side for 2-3 minutes. Flip chicken pieces and brown on the other side.
- Add red bell pepper, zucchini and potato. Stir ingredients in pan to cook vegetables slightly for 2-3 minutes.
- Add coconut milk and all spices, stirring to evenly distribute all ingredients. Bring mixture to a simmer, reducing heat if needed. Let simmer for 10 minutes or until potatoes are cooked through, stirring occasionally.
- Add green onion and noodles to pan. Use tongs to fold noodles and green onion into curry ingredients until thoroughly incorporated. Noodles will soak up the majority of curry sauce. Plate and top with cilantro. Serve immediately.
Notes
- If using store-bought garlic-infused oil that is not certified FODMAP-friendly, make sure to use a brand that doesn’t list “garlic oil,” “garlic essential oil,” “garlic essence,” “garlic flavoring,” “natural roasted garlic flavor,” or anything similar in the ingredients list. There’s no way to know whether these ingredients are low FODMAP. More on that in this article on FODMAP Everyday.
