Time 1h30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 tablespoons olive oil
1 boneless skinless chicken breast
1 medium onion, sliced
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
2 garlic cloves, minced
4 plum tomatoes or 4 cherry tomatoes, diced
2 cups pureed kabocha squash
2 cups vegetable stock
1 cup coconut milk
2 teaspoons curry powder
1 pinch chili powder (or more, if you prefer spicier curries)
1 small butternut squash, peeled, cut into bite-sized chunks and roasted
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • To make kabocha puree: Preheat oven to 375. Halve a kabocha squash and place both sides cut side down in a baking dish. Fill the baking dish with water. Bake for 40 minutes or until the flesh can be easily pierced with a knife. The baking time may need to be adjusted depending on the size of your kabocha. Remove the kabocha from the oven and let cool. Remove and dispose of seeds using a spoon. Scoop out the flesh using a spoon. Use an immersion blender or food processor to puree the flesh, adding water until you have a smooth puree.
  • To roast butternut squash: Preheat oven to 450. Remove skin and cut the butternut squash into bite-sized pieces. Toss with olive oil, salt and pepper. Roast for 15 minutes or until the squash is soft and has just started to caramelize.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil at a high heat in a heavy bottomed pan. Add chicken and cook until sealed. Take chicken out of the pan and set aside.
  • Reduce heat to medium, add onions and ginger and stir until onion has become translucent. Add garlic and stir for 30 seconds more.
  • Add chopped tomatoes and kabocha puree to the pan, bring to boil and reduce to a simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Add stock, coconut milk, curry and chili powder. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add chicken and roasted butternut squash and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Add cilantro and additional salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve with naan and/or rice.
