A super quick chicken sweet potato curry that features juicy chicken braised with tender sweet potatoes and chickpeas in a coconut curry. It is extremely easy to put together and tastes so hearty – perfect for a busy weekday dinner or meal prep. {Gluten-Free} The long hot summer is finally coming to an end and fall is just around the corner. Although I have enjoyed plenty of refreshing salads and cold noodles over the last couple of months, I can’t wait to dig into some hearty soups and stews as the cool weather sets in. Curry is one of my favorite dishes for a weeknight dinner. It can be quite easy to put together, it’s super flavorful, and the leftovers only get tastier. I’ve shared some easy curry recipes in the past including Thai-style salmon curry and Instant Pot curry beef. Today I want to share this comforting chicken sweet potato curry recipe that’s perfect for the fall.
Chicken sweet potato curry ingredients
Chicken sweet potato curry uses many pantry staples that you either already have on hand or are available at most grocery stores. I got all my ingredients from ACME®, where you will find fresh produce, organic products and many affordable and high-quality store brands. Their Fall Into Flavor content hub also offers seasonal recipes, virtual cooking classes and culinary tips to get you inspired. I really like their shoppable recipes that make grocery shopping a breeze and they’re also great for meal planning. Head over to acmemarkets.com/fall to find out more.
What type of curry powder to use
Instead of using 20 ingredients to make my own curry mix, I took a shortcut and used ACME®’s exclusive O Organics® curry powder. I also added some of their exclusive O Organics® cumin, paprika and turmeric to add a bit more flavor and color to the dish. My Indian friends might not approve of my approach, but I find the method so convenient when you’re trying to get something on the dinner table on a busy weekday night.

How to make chicken sweet potato curry
The whole process will take less than 20 minutes from start to finish. When the chicken sweet potato curry is simmering, you can steam some rice at the same time to make yourself a complete meal. The chicken sweet potato curry is so comforting to eat. The chicken pieces are tender and juicy. The sweet potato and chickpeas are soaked with the rich curry flavor. The curry will be delicious when it’s freshly made, but if you store it in the fridge overnight, the spices will blend together even more, and the ingredients will become more flavorful.
