I just made this recipe. Because of what I had on hand, I made these changes:
- substituted pork for the chicken
- sautéed the onions until they were soft and almost translucent
- smashed a clove of garlic and threw it in
- doubled the curry
- sprinkled on some cayenne pepper
- was short on meat so cooked and threw in a handful of chorizo sausage
Delicious!

Very tasty. I served with coconut and raisins over cauliflower “rice”.

I left out the tomatoes because I had none at home tonight, and instead I made baked sweet potatoe wedges (in CO). I topped the sweet potatoe wedges with the apple-onion sauce. This is the most delicious meal I have made for myself in a while! I hope the baked sweet potatoes conform to the paleo diet!

How should the Chicken be precooked?

Lia – You can just stick it in the oven on a baking tray at 350F for about 15 minutes until it’s no longer pink in the middle. Alternatively, you could sauté it in a pan on medium heat with a little coconut oil for about 15 minutes.

Do you have the nutritional content without garnishes for this dish?

Is there a reason I can’t just simmer the chicken in the sauce? I just feel like it would taste better and cook up nice and tender, but I wasn’t sure if there was a food safety reason for not doing this.

Double the curry powder, a generous sprinkle of cayenne pepper and some canned coconut milk to counteract the acidity of the tomatoes. Delish!
