This Chicken Curry is creamy, savory and low in points! Plus it only takes 30 minutes to make.
This dish is only 1 point per serving for blue and purple, 4 points for green. That leaves plenty of points to pair it with rice.
If you’re trying to keep it really low in points it also tastes great with riced cauliflower.
Chicken Curry tastes great the next day. That makes this a great option for meal prep.
Because of the yogurt in this recipe it does not freeze well. But it does keep well in the fridge for 3-4 days.
To make this Chicken Curry I started by cutting the chicken into 1 inch pieces. I used a little bit of olive oil spray and cooked the chicken for about 5 minutes.
Once the chicken was cooked I removed it from the pan and covered it with foil.
Next I added a teaspoon of olive oil to the pan then added the onions. I let those cook for about 4 minutes then added the garlic and ginger and let that cook for 1 minute while stirring.
I added the petite diced tomatoes (do not drain) to the pan then added the seasonings. I stirred that all together then added the yogurt.
Once that was blended I added the chicken back in and let it cook for 5 minutes.
This Chicken Curry is so full of flavor! I absolutely love it.
If you don’t like spicy food you can leave out the cayenne pepper. I only used 1/2 teaspoon but you can always add more if you like it really spicy.
You can also add vegetables to this dish. Spinach is great, peas or even green beans.
If you’re really in a hurry you can make this dish with a rotisserie chicken.

The points are just for the curry chicken not the rice correct?
