Clean Eating Chicken Curry
This delectable one-pot Clean Eating Chicken Curry has been in my life for 5 years now.
It has been on the HappiHomemade recipe to-do list since the beginning of HappiHomemade. We’re talking 2014 people….
Needless to say, I am thrilled to FINALLY be sharing this ethnic dish with you!
I need to level with you though. I have never eaten curry other than this curry.
So is this authentic? I have no idea. Is it delicious. Yep!
I have family, friends, and neighbors that will verify that. One neighbor actually told me, she doesn’t like most curry recipes but she really liked this one because the curry flavor was not overpowering.
Winning. 😉
Really this recipe could be named anything, Delicious Sweet Potato and Chicken One Pot Meal or Spicy Chicken & Sweet Potato Stove Top Dish. Call it what you like, but it does taste deliciously ethnic, especially to this small town girl.
Thank you curry powder!
I love the simplicity of the ingredients and preparation of this dairy free Clean Eating Chicken Curry. It has very few ingredients (7!) and takes no time at all to prepare. Sauté the onions, brown the chicken, soften the sweet potatoes, and add in the frozen peas. All in one pot. In a matter of minutes.
See? Easy peasy.
Clean Eating Chicken Curry Ingredients:
1 onion
3 chicken breasts
2 large sweet potatoes
1.5-2 Tbsp curry powder
1 (15oz) canned light coconut milk
1/2 cup chicken stock
1 cup frozen peas
1 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
We typically serve our curry over gluten free rice or quinoa. Though I usually eat mine without the added starches. It is perfectly hearty while being perfectly healthy too.
I have even added spinach to the finished dish and let it wilt down to add some extra veggie power.
This recipe was first introduced to me by Sarah @ LivingByDesign.org, the other founding lady of this blog. She loves to be in the kitchen as much as I do, but her specialty is making a meal one time. I think she literally made this dish on a whim, served it to me, and forgot about it. Ha!
I, however, could never forget about this dairy free recipe and I know you will feel the same way too!

The world needs to know about your 7 ingredient comfort curry! Tweeting =) P.s. Dropping by via April’s Hearth and Soul Party.
Bahaha! Yes, they do! Thanks SO MUCH for sharing this amazing recipe with the world. 😉 Blessings!
I didn’t use to be that keen on curry, Sammi, but I am enjoying it more and more. This definitely looks like a great dish for anyone who hasn’t had curry before as it’s so healthy, colourful and flavourful. Scheduled to pin, tweeted and featuring at this week’s Hearth and Soul Link Party. Thank you so much for sharing it with the link party and hope to ‘see’ you there!
I certainly hope you will give this recipe a try, April. I think you are right, it may be a great “intro” to curry flavors. 😉 Thank you for featuring it this week! I am headed over right now! 🙂
I love one-pot meals, and this combo of flavors looks delish! Thanks for joining us at Tasty Tuesdays this week 🙂
Aren’t one-pot meals the best?! I love them too! Thanks for the kind words, Gina!
I love curry – and this looks really good! Thanks for sharing on the What’s for Dinner link up!
Thanks Helen! I really hope you like this version 🙂 Happy Eating!
Yummy! Chicken, Curry and sweet potatoes are such a great combo for a wholesome meal! Pinning!
Thanks Ilka! I love how simple and healthy this recipe is too 🙂
Wow Sammi this looks great! My first time coming to your blog but I am crazy over the chicken and sweet potato combo. My sister and I made an Indian Tender Braised Chicken with Sweet Potato Curry that was out of this world (https://sprinkleofvanillasugar.wordpress.com/2016/04/11/indian-spiced-stew-with-chicken-and-sweet-potato-gf-dairy-free-oil-free/) . Will have to try yours too!
Your recipe looks fabulous as well. Thanks for sharing it with me 🙂 Blessings to you both!
Sammi. True story. I got this email in my inbox and my mouth started watering so I headed over to tell you I can’t wait to try it! I guess I already have ???? Thank you for being my go to recipe box and reminding me of all the jewels I would have otherwise forgotten.
And that is why I love you! lol You give me plenty of recipe ideas because of your amazing creativity and free spirit…but also forget all of them because of it. 😉
I love the simplicity of this dish! Do you have a favorite brand of curry powder that you use? Thanks!
Hi Alison! Thank you for the kind words, yes it is such an easy dish yet doesn’t taste that way. 😉 I use curry powder at our local co-op from the bulk bins, but I have been cooking quite a bit at my mom’s house and used her Archer Farms (Target) curry powder and it has great flavor too. Happy Eating!
