Is it too early for pumpkin recipes? Starbucks is doing it, so I figure I can too.. right?

I know it's not fall YET, but I have officially started making fall inspired recipes and this pumpkin chicken curry really hits the spot!! It's a perfect meal to prep ahead at the beginning of the week & freeze some for a rainy day.

Also, before we dive into the recipe I wanted to remind you of my 30 Day Meal Prep Challenge starting next Monday, Sept 16th! We have a great group of people registered so far and there are still spots available!

If you'd like to have a library of healthy recipes, insights into ways to plan and prep on a busy schedule, and have accountability (including weekly challenges and prizes!) then join us for this 30 Day Challenge!

• 2 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 454 grams Chicken Breast (boneless, skinless, cut into cubes)
• 2 tbsp Curry Powder
• Sea Salt & Black Pepper (to taste)
• 2 Sweet Potato (large, peeled, chopped)
• 1 cup Pureed Pumpkin
• 2 cups Chicken Broth
• 1 cup Basmati Rice (dry, rinsed)
• 2 cups Canned Coconut Milk (full fat)
• 1 Lime (juiced)
• 2 tbsp Parsley (chopped, for garnish)

1. Heat the oil in a pot over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for five to six minutes or until browned on all sides, stirring occasionally.
2. Add the curry powder, salt, pepper, and sweet potato. Stir and cook for another two to three minutes. Add the pumpkin purée and chicken broth. Stir, turn the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and simmer for about 15 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, cook the rice according to package directions.
4. Remove the lid from the curry pot. Stir in the coconut milk and simmer uncovered for another five minutes or until everything is cooked through. Remove from the heat and stir in the lime juice. Adjust the seasoning to your taste.
5. Serve the curry with rice. Top with parsley and enjoy!
