INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts (or use chicken thighs if you prefer dark meat)
1 tablespoon ground turmeric
2 teaspoons ground ginger
3 tablespoons garlic-infused olive oil
6 green onions (green part only) chopped
1-inch fresh ginger, peeled and grated
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (use more or less to your taste)
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped plus more for serving
1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
1-2 cups low FODMAP chicken broth
1 can (13.5 ounces) canned coconut milk
2 tablespoons gluten-free soy sauce
2 cups fresh baby spinach
Juice of 2 limes
2 cups cooked rice, for serving
DIRECTIONS:
Put your rice on to cook so it will be done when your soup is done.
Cube and toss the chicken with turmeric, ground ginger, and 1 tablespoon garlic-infused olive oil. Let sit while you prepare your other ingredients.
Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear until all sides are lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Add the green onions, ginger, cayenne, and cilantro, cook 1 minute, then add the chopped sweet potato.
Add 1 cup broth, coconut milk, and soy sauce. Bring just to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Partially cover and simmer for 20-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are cooked through. If the soup is too thick, add additional broth. Stir in the spinach and lime juice. Season to taste with salt.
Serve the chicken and sauce over rice. Top with fresh cilantro and enjoy.
