Ingredients
serves 4, 1 cup per serving1 teaspoon canola or corn oil
1/4 cup frozen chopped onion or 1/2 medium onion, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon bottled minced garlic or 2 medium garlic cloves, minced
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, all visible fat discarded, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
1 medium cauliflower, separated into bite-size pieces (about 2 cups)
1 cup fat-free, low-sodium chicken broth
1 teaspoon curry powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon turmeric (optional)
1/8 teaspoon pepper
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup fat-free plain yogurt
Step 1
In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat, swirling to coat the bottom. Cook the onion and garlic for about 3 minutes, or until the onion is soft, stirring occasionally. Push to one side of the skillet.
Step 2
Add the chicken to the middle of the skillet. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, or until no longer pink in the center, stirring occasionally (only the chicken).
Step 3
Add the cauliflower, broth, curry powder, salt, turmeric, and pepper. Stir to incorporate the chicken, onion, and garlic. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low. Cook, covered, for 5 to 6 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender. Increase the heat to medium high.
Step 4
Put the flour in a small bowl. Add the water, whisking to dissolve. Pour into the skillet and cook, uncovered, for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the mixture is thickened, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to low.
Step 5
Spoon a small amount of warm chicken mixture into a small bowl. Stir in the yogurt. Stir into the skillet. Cook, uncovered, for 1 to 2 minutes, or until warmed through, stirring occasionally.
