CURRY CHICKEN AND RICE

Today I watched one of my favorite YouTubers The BaddieTwinz’s.

Their In Di Kitchen series puts you in the best mood mi love and most importantly ends with a delicious meal that makes you want to chew those bones.

These two bring a fresh take to the culinary world on YouTube for home cooks. No matter who is “head chef” they both remind their viewers to cook with love.

While watching their recipe on Curry Chicken and Rice I was instantly inspired. I knew I could recreate the dish while still keeping their delectable flair. I am beyond excited to show you what I’ve done.

Method
Place the chicken legs, green pepper, red pepper, onions, thyme, garlic powder, salt, pepper, ginger, all spice, and curry into a large bowl. Massage the chicken until the seasoning has coated the meat. When the meat is seasoned to your liking let it marinate for 2 hours or overnight. Prior to cooking, let chicken stand on the counter for 30 minutes to remove the chill from the meat. Allowing the chicken to come to room temp will provide a faster and even cook.

Cooking:

  Add Oil to a large wide deep pot (dutch pot). Place the pot on medium heat. Once the oil is heated place the chicken only into the pot. Scrap the onions, peppers, and thyme off. Do not discard just put to them back in the bowl that they marinated in. Put the chicken in an even layer across the bottom of the pan. Cook for 5 minutes. Stir the chicken to brown evenly. Next, add the vegetables and cayenne pepper (optional) to the chicken. Then give it a stir. Pour the water into the pot and allow the chicken to simmer for 20 minutes. Finally, turn the heat to medium high and add the potatoes. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until are tender.

Serve:

  This can be served with rice or a nice tossed salad.

The weather is getting warmer and it is time to break out those grills for some healthy chicken kabob! Chicken kabob are yummy, easy, and fun to eat. The combination of veggies or meats/veggies are endless. Today I am going to show you my no fail chicken kabob recipe.

All you need is a few simple ingredients and you have a very satisfying meal. For all my veggie friends this recipe works for you too! I would use veggies like zucchini, potatoes, carrot, onions, etc to make your kabob. Follow the recipe and just skip the meat and use your favorite veggies. Just make sure you cut them large enough to hold up to the grill. Anyway, let’s jump right in to this chicken kabob recipe!


What you will need:

4 Cubed Chicken  Breast

8 Portobello Mushrooms

4 Bite Sized Chopped Onions

10 Cherry Tomatoes

Spice Mix:

1 tbsp of Onion Powder

1 tsp of Pepper

1 tsp of Salt

1 tsp of Ground Mustard

1 tsp of Crushed Red Pepper

Oil Dressing:

4 Tbsp of Avocado Oil

2 Fresh Minced Garlic Cloves

2 tsp of Fresh Thyme

2 tsp of Fresh Parsley

3 tsp of Fresh Oregano

Vegan Friendly Option:

If  you are going vegan or vegetarian, use sturdy veggies that can hold up to the heat, I would use veggies like zucchini, potatoes, carrot, onions, etc to make your kabob. Follow the same steps and grill until veggies are tender. I would pre-boil potatoes for about 6 minutes prior to placing on the grill. This way it will cook at the same pace as the other veggies you choice. 

Cook:

Once all the meats and veggies are on the skewers place on a hot grill. Sprinkle generously the spice mix over the top of the veggies and chicken. After the first 3 minutes turn brush on the oil based dressing on top and turn over.

Sprinkle the other side with spices and brushes on the oil dressing. Cook kabob on each side for about 3 minutes or until an internal temp of 165F.

Remove from the grill and brush the remaining dressing and spices on top.

You can serve this with salad, rice, or a nice pasta. The sides are endless!

No Carb| Asian Chicken Zoodle Soup

Asian Chicken Zoodle Soup is what’s on the stove tonight…

Chicken noodle soup is an all seasons comfort when your sick or when you just want something warm in your belly. I have created a soup that eliminates the pasta but keeps the comfort and taste. So you are wondering, how did I remove the pasta? Zucchini! I made zoodles. Zoodles are such a healthy hearty alternative to pasta noodles. They are low in calorie and just as satisfying. They take no time to cook and hold up to any soup or dish you put them in. This Asian Chicken Zoodle Soup recipe is one to be made and shared. So let’s get started!


What you will need:

  • 1 Bay leaf
  • 1 inch of Chopped Fresh Ginger
  • 1 Tsp of Garlic powder
  • 1 Tsp of Crushed Red Pepper
  • 1 Tsp of Salt
  • 4 Boneless Chicken Thighs
  • 1 Tsp of Fish Sauce
  • 1 Tbsp of Sesame Oil
  • 3 Tbsp of low sodium Soy Sauce
  • 4 Cups of Unsalted Chicken Broth
  • 2 Chopped Scallions
  • 1 pint of assorted Mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup of Match Stick Carrots
  • 1 Medium Sized Onion Chopped
  • 1 Zucchini Spiraled
  • 1 Cup of Water

Tools:

  • Large Stock Pot
  • Spiralzer

Instructions:

You need to pour the chicken broth and chicken thighs into a large stock pot. Cook chicken thighs for 8 minutes and then with a sieve scrap the impurities from the top of the broth. Let the chicken cook for another 2 minutes then remove from the large pot. If there are any other impurities then scrap over once more to ensure a clear broth. Chopped or shred the chicken. Sit aside.

Add the sesame oil, fish sauce, soy sauce, scallions, ginger, bay leaf, salt, crushed red pepper, and garlic powder to the large pot. Stir and allow the flavors to marry for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes add the onions, carrots, mushrooms, and water to the broth. Allow the vegetables to cook for about 8 minutes to become tender.

When the vegetables are cooking take the zucchini and follow the directions of the spiralzer to make the noodles. After 8 minutes add the chicken and zoodles. Cook for 2 minutes and serve.

Vegan/Vegetarian Options:

Swap the chicken broth for organic vegetable broth unsalted. Then follow step 2 and 3 eliminating the fish sauce and chicken.


Serve:

You can serve this soup with crackers which would defeat not having the carbs or it is just as tasty eating it alone.

Happy Cooking ♥
