Chicken and Vegetables with Red Curry and Coconut Milk Sauce

Do you ever make a recipe you love, but then you kinda forget about it and don’t make it again for a while? That was this recipe for me.

My husband was the first to make this Chicken Curry dish and I loved it so much. After what we made was gone, I made the recipe again that week, because it was so good.  It was my new fave. But..then it wasn’t? I forgot about it!

Then, I thought of this recipe, for some reason on the way back from our Mexico trip, and I just had to have it. This time, I put my own spin on the recipe, including throwing it all in the crock pot, and it came out great. It was so good, I had my leftovers for breakfast.

Chicken and Vegetables with Red Curry and Coconut Milk Sauce

  • 1 pound ready-made gluten-free and soy-free chicken stripsChicken and Vegetables with Red Curry and Coconut Milk Sauce
  • 2 red bell peppers, sliced
  • 1 white onion, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 8 mushrooms, washed and sliced
  • 1 can coconut milk
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken stock
  • 3 tablespoons Thai Red Curry
  • 1 teaspoon ginger powder

Add everything to the crock pot and let cook on high for 4 hours or low for 8. Serve it with cauliflower rice to keep the dish Paleo. Otherwise you could serve with rice, rice noodles or as a side to potatoes and a vegetable.

Enjoy!

Paleo Swedish Meatballs

Who loves Swedish meatballs? I do, I do! And these are so good, really easy and one of my all time favorites!

I eat them alone. Nick likes them with noodles or rice. Heck, you could even make a Swedish meatball sub sandwich with them if you wanted to! I hope you love these as much as me, they are truly a comfort food and the flavor is just scrumptious.

Paleo Swedish Meatballs

  • 1 tablespoon avocado oilIMG_20180225_104118
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1/2 onion, minced
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/3 cup Almond Flour (or breadcrumbs of choice)
  • 1 tablespoon parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/3 cup almond milk (or milk of choice)

In a large skillet pan, add the avocado oil and heat on medium. Mix the ingredients together with your hands, in a bowl, and add small, equal-sized meatballs to the pan. You want to give each meatball its own space, so that it can brown up. You will finish cooking them in the sauce so brown the outsides for about 5 minutes and remove from the heat. Set aside. Do not remove the grease from the bottom of the pan!

Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons tapioca starch
  • 1 cup almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • 1 cup beef stock
  • 1 teaspoon parsley
  • pinch of salt and pepper

Using the leftover grease from the bottom of the pan, whisk in the tapioca starch. Heat for 2 minutes and then add the rest of the ingredients. Heat 5 minutes before adding the meatballs back into the pan. Once you add the meatballs back in, simmer together 10 minutes and serve.

Honey Chicken Chinese Dinner

I love homemade Chinese food. It’s easy and quick to pull together and healthier and more fulfilling than take out. Plus, if you don’t have good Chinese near you (we def don’t,) than not only is this the best option, but the only option.

But, honestly, this recipe is so good. I made it, I ate it and it was awesome. Nick thought so, too, and so will you. Enjoy!

Honey Chicken

  • 2 chicken breasts, cut up into 1 inch piecesIMG_20180216_142624
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil for frying
  • 2 tablespoons tapioca flour
  • Pinch of salt and pepper
  • 1 cup matchstick carrots
  • 1 scallion, chopped (to sprinkle at the end of cooking)
  • sesame seeds (optional)

Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon ginger powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 1 teaspoon tapioca flour

In a medium-sized bowl, mix your chopped chicken, 2 tablespoons tapioca starch and a pinch of salt and pepper. Heat a medium skillet on medium heat with the avocado oil and add the chicken to the pan. Cook about 5 minutes on each side or until the chicken is browned and cooked through. Add the carrots and cook an additional 2 minutes.

In a separate pan, add the sauce ingredients together and whisk to combine. Add the sauce to the chicken and carrots and let cook about five minutes or until the sauce thickens a bit. Sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds.
