I really like trying out new dishes to keep things interesting. This one has turmeric in it. Studies have shown that this spice may be helpful in reducing some of the symptoms of CMT. Or you can just put it in your cooking because you like the taste.
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 bunch green onions sliced
2 teaspoons minced ginger root
4 ounces of fresh white mushrooms.
2 tablespoons coconut oil
2.5 chicken leg quarters (pieces total)
1 cup chicken broth
2 cans coconut milk
¼ cup cornstarch
½ can baby corn cobs
2 cups frozen stir fry vegetables
2 ounces of grape or cherry tomatoes.
1 tablespoon yellow curry powder blend or paste
2 teaspoons turmeric
Salt and pepper
Jasmine rice cooked
Place coconut oil in bottom of heavy bottom Dutch oven. Once oil is hot, add garlic, ginger, mushrooms and onion. Cook for 2 minutes, then add the chicken pieces. Cook until the chicken pieces are browned. Turn so all sides are browned.
Add chicken broth and coconut milk. Add the curry powder mixture or paste and turmeric. Cover, turn heat to low and simmer the chicken for 45 minutes.
Mix cornstarch with just enough water to make a paste. Add to chicken mixture to thicken.
Add the corn cobs, and vegetables. Serve over steamed Jasmine rice.
