INGREDIENTS:
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large chicken breast, cut into bite sized pieces
1 small zucchini, julienned
1 1/2 cups sliced carrots
1/2 large onion, diced
1 1/2 tablespoons all purpose flour
1 cup chicken stock
salt & pepper, to taste
1 can coconut milk
2 tablespoons all natural peanut butter
4 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons curry powder
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup frozen peas
peanuts and toasted coconut for garnish, optional
brown rice for serving

DIRECTIONS:
In a large pot or deep skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add in chicken and cook 2 minutes or until mostly cooked thoroughly. Add in zucchini, carrot and onion and sauté five minutes. Sprinkle in flour and cook another minute. Add in chicken stock, salt and pepper. Bring to boil and reduce to simmer. Liquid won't thicken very much at all--this is normal. Stir in coconut milk, peanut butter, sugar and spices. Simmer 5 minutes. Before serving, stir in heavy cream and peas. Cook another minute to warm peas through and serve over brown rice. Top with peanuts and toasted coconut.
