“Hearty sweet potato, tender cauliflower, pretty rainbow chard, and protein-packed edamame add flavour and colour to tender, juicy chicken thighs. This one’s not a publicity stunt, folks — it’s the number one recipe on the Abbey’s Kitchen blog, and you’ll quickly figure out why.”

Chicken, Sweet Potato, and Cauliflower Curry
- 1 tablespoon + 2 teaspoons (15 mL + 10 mL) extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 8 skinless boneless chicken thighs trimmed of excess fat
- Sea salt and cracked black pepper
- 1 small yellow onion finely diced
- 3 cloves garlic finely minced
- 4 teaspoons (20 mL) fresh ginger finely grated
- 3 tablespoon (45 mL) curry powder
- 1 tablespoon 15 mL ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon 15 mL ground coriander
- ¼ teaspoon 1 mL cayenne pepper
- ¼ teaspoon 1 mL sea salt
- 1 bottle (23 ounces/680 mL) tomato passata or tomato purée
- 1 medium sweet potato peeled and diced into ⅓-inch (8 mm) cubes (2 to 2½ cups/500 to 625 mL)
- 1 can (14 ounces/400 mL) light coconut milk
- 1 medium head cauliflower cut into small florets (6 to 8 cups/1.5 to 2 L)
- 1 bunch rainbow Swiss chard stalks and ribs cut into ¾-inch (2 cm) pieces and leaves thinly sliced
- ½ cup (125 mL) frozen shelled edamame
Garnish
- ¼ cup (60 mL) unsalted natural pistachios, crushed
- ¼ cup (60 mL) golden raisins (optional)
- Fresh cilantro leaves
Heat 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper, and place them in the skillet boned side up. Cook until browned on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Once browned (but not cooked through), transfer to a plate.
Add the remaining 2 teaspoons (10 mL) olive oil to the skillet and reduce the heat to medium. Add the onion and cook, stirring often, until it begins to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger, curry powder, cumin, coriander, cayenne, and salt. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 to 60 seconds.
Add the tomato passata and the sweet potatoes, cover the skillet with a lid, and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the sweet potato is almost fork-tender.
