Eat Clean Recipe: Thai Red Curry Chicken

Ingredients:

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast (organic, free-range preferred)
• 2 1/2 Tbsp Thai Red Curry Paste
• 1 Tbsp Coconut Oil
• 1 Can (14 oz.) Light Coconut Milk for a thicker consistency use Regular Coconut Milk - note, using regular coconut milk will add about 100 calories per serving due to the higher fat content
• 1 tsp Fish Sauce (vegans/vegetarians - use 2 tsp Coconut Aminos)
• 2 tsp Truvia Brown Sugar Blend
• Juice of 1/2 freshly squeezed Lime
• 1/2 Cup Chopped White Onion
• 1 Cup Organic Broccoli
• 1 Sliced Red Bell Pepper
• 1/2 Cup Snow Peas
• 1/2 Cup Sliced Leeks
• Half a Handful of Thai Basil with purple stems removed (our local store refers to this as "Taiwan Basil".  If you can't find Thai Basil, Italian Basil will be fine)
• Options - add extra fish sauce or coconut aminos for flavor, if necessary.  Also, consider garnishing with fresh green onions.

Directions:

1. Cut chicken breasts into small, bite-size pieces
2. Cut red bell pepper, onion, leeks, and broccoli
3. In a deep pan (Wok style) under medium-high heat, stir coconut oil and red curry paste for 30 seconds or until all coconut oil is blended with curry paste
4. Add 1/4 cup coconut milk, brown sugar, lime juice, fish sauce (or coconut aminos), and onion. Stir for 1 minute on medium-high heat until well-blended.
5. Add chicken and all but 1/4 cup of the coconut milk, cook for 6 minutes on medium-high heat, stirring frequently.  Note - let mixture come to boil around the 6 minute mark
6. Add broccoli, bell pepper, snow peas, leeks, and Thai basil, and remaining coconut milk.  Cook on medium-high heat for 3 minutes.
7. Let boil for 60 seconds.
8. Serve and enjoy!

Clean Eat Recipe: Spicy Citrus Quinoa Salad

We've made quite a few things off of the Whole Foods Market app (that contains recipes) and we've never been disappointed. All of the dishes we've tried have been very flavorful and easy to make. This one is no different but I'll be honest with you...I told Scott that I would not be eating this and that it sounded disgusting. I was wrong and I found myself sneaking spoonfuls all throughout the process of making it! This Clean Eating Spicy Citrus Quinoa Salad has the perfect hint of sweet and spicy and is the perfect side dish for your meal and great for parties!
