Ingredients

2 tbsp coconut oil
600 g skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into chunks
300 g chopped celery
75 g chopped red onion
2 tbsp curry powder
4 cloves garlic, minced
950 ml chicken broth
475 ml water
400 ml light coconut milk
2 cans (400 g each) diced tomatoes with green chile peppers
300 g butternut squash cubes
75 g sweetened shredded coconut
2 firm bananas, thickly sliced

Directions

Step 1
In a large pot over medium-high heat, melt coconut oil. Sauté the chicken until browned completely, about 5 minutes. Add celery, onion, curry powder, and garlic. Sauté until the onion is tender, about 8-10 minutes.
Step 2
Pour in the chicken broth, water, and coconut milk. Add the diced tomatoes with green chile peppers, butternut squash, and shredded coconut. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the squash is soft, about 40 minutes.
Step 3
Stir in the bananas and simmer until they are soft, about 5 minutes more.
