Chicken Curry with Pomegranate (FM)
Recipes | December 03, 2016
*yields 4 portions for women, 2 portions for men (check out portion sizes in my nutrition guide)
Ingredients
- 3 teaspoons yellow curry paste
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil for the marinade
- 4 boneless, skinless, chicken thighs
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil for cooking
- 3/4 cup chicken broth ( I use better than bouillon – low sodium)
- 5 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 6 thyme sprigs (you can also use rosemary)
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
- zest from 3/4 lime
- 1 lime, sliced in half
- Arils (seeds) from 1/2 pomegranate
- 10 basil leaves, shredded
Instructions
- In a small bowl, add curry paste, paprika, salt, pepper, and 3 tbsp olive oil. Mix well.
- Brush the chicken thighs on all sides evenly and generously. If you run out of the marinade too soon, make another batch.
- Add olive oil to a deep skillet over medium heat, add chicken (oil should sizzle) and cook on each side for 3 minutes.
- Add chicken broth,garlic, thyme, salt and pepper, lemon zest and add the lemon halves to the to pan and bring to a boil.
- Cook chicken uncovered on low heat and let it simmer until most of the liquid has evaporated (about 7-8 minutes) and chicken is cooked through.
- Transfer chicken to a plate along with garlic and remaining liquid (if there is any left). Discard thyme sprigs and lime.
- Top with pomegranate and basil. You can choose the side for this dish. I had it with just a simple mixed green salad and it was delicious. You can have it with rice, or baked potatoes as Workout Earned Meal.

You can eat the seeds in the Arils. I never knew this till I started growing a Pomegranate tree. Please make a video of some Holiday recipes maybe with Jesse and his family making cameos.

OMG I made this tonight and it was SO FREAKING FLAVORFUL. I love herbs and spices. I used the rosemary growing outside of my apartment. I mixed extra olive oil with curry powder to make the “paste”. I love the lime zest, juice, and cooking with the lime halves in the pan. Great ideas. Really easy, flavorful, relatively quick recipe! Love!
