Chicken with Sauerkraut in Coconut Milk

This may sound like an odd combination, but the sour flavor of the kraut and the sweetness of the coconut milk turn this dish into a mix which is as unusual as it is yummy. All done in one pot.

Preparation time: 30 minutes (without marinating)

What you need:

1 tablespoon oil (use coconut oil if you have)

500 g (16-17oz) Sauerkraut, drained

1 lb (500g) chicken breast

1 medium onion, chopped

3-4 garlic gloves, minced

2 peppers (red, yellow or green) – you can substitute and/or add with any veggies, cut into small pieces

5 green onions, thinly sliced

14 oz (400 ml) coconut milk

1/2 cup (100ml) veggie broth – you can substitute with water

2 tablespoons spicy curry paste

1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon pepper

1 tablespoon paprika powder

Chili flakes
