Grass-fed beef or lamb, salmon, shrimp or pork can be substituted for chicken.
Use store-bought rotisserie chicken or pre-made organic meatballs if you're short on time.

Ingredients

1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
1 cup fresh green beans, trimmed, cut into 2 inch pieces
1 red and/or yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced

1 cup bite-sized broccoli florets
2 cloves garlic, minced (1-2 tsp garlic powder can be used)
2 tablespoons freshly grated ginger (1 tbsp dried ginger can be used)
1-2 tablespoon coconut oil or ghee
2 tablespoons of curry powder
1 teaspoon salt
15-16 oz of coconut milk (I use full-fat for its flavor and mouthfeel, but low-fat can be used)
16 oz chicken bone broth or vegetable broth
1 - 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast, cooked and shredded
3-4 cups fresh spinach
Juice of 2 limes
Dash of tamari
Chili flakes (optional)

Chopped cilantro (optional)

Instructions

To bake chicken: Lightly coat chicken breasts with a little bit of olive oil, salt, pepper. Bake in 400 degree oven for 20-30 minutes until no longer pink inside. Shred w/ two forks.
In a large pot over med-high heat, sauté onion in coconut oil or ghee until lightly browned.
Add all remaining veggies, garlic, ginger, curry powder, salt and chili flakes. Cook for 5-8 minutes.
Add coconut milk, broth, and chicken. Simmer for 10-12 minutes.
Add lime and tamari to taste.
Just before serving, add spinach and stir until wilted.
Eat by itself or serve with your choice of rice, quinoa, sweet potato, and/or whole wheat naan bread.
Sprinkle with chopped cilantro for an added punch of anti-inflammatory protection.
