Now that I’ve returned from my vacation and am back to my usual
eating habits, I thought that I’d share one of my favorite Healthy,
Inexpensive, Tasty (HIT) dishes. This one is also quick and easy as prep time
is around fifteen minutes and fewer than forty-five minutes to-the-table.
THAI
CHICKEN CURRY
Ingredients:
2
teaspoons olive oil
1
lb. skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1-in. pieces
1/2
teaspoon black pepper
1/4
teaspoon salt
1
pound diced peeled sweet potatoes (about 3 cups)
1
cup chopped yellow onion
1
cup chopped red, orange, or yellow bell pepper
1
tablespoon minced garlic
1
1/2 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
1 (5-oz.) pkg. baby kale (about 5 cups) If you
can’t find baby kale you can use spinach or lacinato kale cut into 1-inch
pieces.
1 cup light coconut milk, well stirred
1 cup unsalted chicken stock (such as Swanson 😉)
2 cups hot cooked quinoa (To cook the quinoa,
simmer 1 cup uncooked quinoa in 2 cups water for 14 minutes or until the liquid
is absorbed.)
3 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves
Directions:
Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high. Sprinkle
chicken with black pepper and salt; cook, browning on all side and with no pink
left in the middle. Place chicken in a bowl
In the same pan as you cooked the chicken, add potatoes, onion,
and bell pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for three minutes. Add garlic and
cook one minute. Stir in curry paste and kale, cooking about two minutes until
kale wilts. Stir in coconut milk and stock. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat,
cover, and cook until potatoes are tender, about fifteen minutes. Return
chicken to pan and cook five more minutes.
Divide quinoa among 4 shallow bowls. Top evenly with chicken
mixture and cilantro leaves. I like to serve it with yeast rolls.
Here's a bit about my upcoming book: Tart of Darkness. Available April 3 Amazon
Right when Dani thinks she's hit a dead-end in her career, she
unexpectedly inherits an enormous old house in a quaint college town. This
gives her the perfect opportunity to pursue her true passion—cooking! So Dani
opens Chef-to-Go, preparing delicious, ready-made meals for hungry students
attending the nearby university, as well as providing personal chef services
and catering events for the local community. To help support her new business,
she opens her home to a few students, renting them rooms and becoming almost
like a big sister figure in their lives.
But just as Dani is relishing her sweet new life, the friend of
one of her boarders is murdered, and Dani becomes one of the primary suspects!
She'll have to scramble to clear her name and save her business before the
killer reappears—perhaps to silence the new chef forever.

This looks and sounds quite tasty.
ReplyDeleteI'm not fond of lite coconut milk. It just doesn't have the right taste and mouth feel to me. So, I'll go with the regular and have a yummy time.

I would love to read, listen and review. I absolutely love love books. I love the suspense and humour. Books take you away from any stress or problems. Also I use Audible to listen at night till I get sleepy or while I clean house.
