Curried Chicken Soup for 2...

I absolutely adore curry. Vegetable curry, chicken curry, seafood curry, and my personal favorite, lamb curry. I could literally eat it every.single.day and never get sick of it. I'm sure Michael gets tired of me constantly asking to go get Indian food when we actually get to go on a date (but thankfully he loves it too). ;-)

I was in one of those food funks today and couldn't figure out what to eat for lunch. I realized I had all the ingredients to throw something together. :-) Here is my delicious "concoction". Enjoy!

1-2 cans full fat Coconut Milk (start with 1 can and add more as needed)
1-2 large boneless chicken breast(s), cut into bite sized pieces
1-2 Tablespoons coconut oil
1/4 cup natural chicken stock
1-2 teaspoons curry powder (depending on how strong you like your curry, start with 1 teaspoon and add more as you like)
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/8 teaspoon cardamom
1/4-1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
Sea salt to taste
2 cups loosely packed baby kale

Saute the chicken in the oil at medium/high heat. Slowly deglaze the pan by adding stock and let it boil. Add coconut milk and spices. Cook until thickened somewhat and add kale. Stir well and serve! Add salt to taste. Enjoy the variety of flavors!

* Yes, you can see bacon in the picture. That was a last minute add because hey, everything is better with bacon right? But just in case you are doing whole30 or avoiding sugar, skip the bacon (unless you are using sugar/nitrate free of course) ;-)
