Clean Eating Curry Chicken With Peas

by The Gracious Pantry

This recipe was a fun one. The flavor is great and you can easily adjust the amount of spiciness by choosing a mild or hot curry, or leaving out the garam masala all together. The choice is yours. Either way, it will be a very tasty dish.

This is the main course of my Valentine’s Day menu. The curry and general spiciness of this dish is what makes it an aphrodisiac dish. Anything spicy that gets the sweat glands going and the blood pumping is said to be an aphrodisiac. So if you and your partner like spicy foods, use the garam masala, and use hot curry instead of mild. That should get those sweat glands going!

Clean Eating Curry Chicken With Peas
(Makes 4 servings)

Ingredients
2 large chicken breasts
1/2 14 oz. can light coconut milk
1/4 cup chicken broth
1/2 package frozen peas
1/2 tbsp. mild curry powder
1/2 tsp. garam masala
1/2 tsp garlic powder

Directions

Step 1 – In a large pot, combine all ingredients except the chicken, and bring to a soft boil.

Step 2 – Add chicken breasts and boil until chicken is cooked through.

Step 3 – If your sauce has not cooked down enough (it should cook down by almost half) by the time your chicken is cooked and you want the sauce to be thicker, you can add 2 tbsp. of organic corn starch to the pot to help thicken up the sauce.

Eat and Enjoy!

Munchkin Helpers:

If you have little ones, here’s how they can help (With close supervision, of course).

My little man helped put all the ingredients into the cold pot. He even stirred a bit while the post was cooking (with close supervision, of course). The older your kids are, the more they can do. Just give yourself enough time to allow for their help.

Caution: Any time a child is in the kitchen, they will require close supervision. Munchkin Helpers suggestions should be applied with common sense to your own child, taking their own capabilities into account. Do not assume that because it says here that your child can do something, that they can, in fact do it. Please use common sense when in the kitchen with your child(ren).
