One Pot - Garden Ditalini w/ Coconut Ground Chicken

Yield 4-6 people

Breaking the ground chicken into really small pieces as it cooks matters more than you'd think, because it lets the meat absorb all that coconut broth and creates a creamy, almost ragù-like texture instead of chunky bits. Everything else cooks together in one pot, so you're mostly just stirring and watching the pasta and sweet potato soften into something warm and comforting.

Steps

Tap anything to check it off as you go.

In a large pot or deep skillet, saute 1/2 tsp of minced garlic in a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high heat. Add in chopped onion. Saute until softened.
Add ground chicken. Season with 1/2 tsp of salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Cook breaking meat a part until cooked through.
Peel, and cube your sweet potato. Add sweet potato into the skillet with 1 can of coconut milk, 2 cups of veggie broth, and ditalini pasta. Ensure pasta is submerged in liquid. Cover with lid. Stir occasionally. This stage is to cook the sweet potato and pasta. The liquid will soak in.
Remove lid and lower heat to medium-low. Continue to cook without the lid to help liquid soak up. If it needs another 1/2 cup of broth add now.
Stir in halved cherry tomatoes, chopped basil and juice and 1 lemon. Salt to taste and enjoy.
