Directions
- Wash and dry all fresh produce.
- Coarsely grate the cauliflower or pulse it in a processor until rice-like; set aside in a bowl.
- Heat a medium saucepan over medium-high heat and then add a little oil to coat the bottom.
- Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.
- When the pan is hot, add the chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly golden, about 5–6 minutes.
- On a clean cutting board, cut zucchini into bite-sized pieces after trimming; halve the tomatoes and place both in a bowl, then dice the bell peppers and add to the bowl.
- Add curry powder and ground coriander to the cooked chicken; cook briefly until fragrant, 1 minute, then stir in coconut milk, peanut butter, sugar, fish sauce, and chili-garlic sauce along with the chopped vegetables.
- Simmer until the chicken and vegetables are cooked through and the curry thickens, about 8–10 minutes. In a separate skillet, cook the riced cauliflower with water and salt until tender, then stir in cilantro.
- Serve the curry over the cilantro-scented cauliflower rice and divide between plates or bowls.
Two tips
- Prep the cauliflower rice and chop cilantro ahead of time to speed up assembly.
- Leftovers keep in the fridge for 2–3 days; store the curry and cauliflower rice separately. Garnish with extra cilantro if desired.
