Easy Dairy Free Butter Chicken with Vegetables

Tablespoons ghee or coconut oil

Tablespoon garam masala

cayenne powder

cumin

turmeric

black pepper

oz tomato paste (or about 1/3 cup)

salt

chicken thighs, chopped into bite-sized cubes

apple cider vinegar

coconut milk

sweet bell peppers, sliced

medium zucchini, chopped into bite-sized chunks

basmati rice

In a large pot, melt the coconut oil or ghee (can use butter here if preferred)

Add in the spices &#8211; garam masala, cayenne, cumin, turmeric, black pepper &#8211; and the tomato paste. Stir and sauté gently for a 30-60 seconds, until fragrant and well mixed.

Add the chopped chicken to the pot, stirring well to cover with the spice mixture. Cook until chicken starts to brown, about 3-5 minutes.

Pour in the apple cider vinegar and stir to degalze the pan. This also cuts through the richness, so I don&#8217;t recommend skipping it.

Add the bell peppers, zucchini, and the coconut milk to the pot and stir.

Cover and simmer for about 20 minutes.*note, you can simmer uncovered if you prefer a thicker sauce.

Top with a squeeze of fresh lemon (don&#8217;t skip this step!!), and some fresh cilantro (optional) and serve with the rice of your choosing!
