Dinner so good!

Just thought I'd share a dinner with no recipe. Warning: this is NOT totally Paleo. Contains peanuts. I just haven't been able to completely let go of peanuts. So this is Spinach, Chopped Cauliflower and Peanut Coconut Chicken. Oh yum it was good.

Paleo Coconut Chicken Curry

Paleo Coconut Chicken Curry
1 can Coconut Milk
2 lbs Chicken Breasts
3 TBsp Curry Powder
1 chopped onion
4 Large Carrots, Thickly Sliced



Directions: Cut the chicken into 1 inch cubes. Saute onions until translucent. Add Chicken saute until cooked through. Add coconut milk. Cut carrots into think slices and add to coconut milk.  Simmer for 10-15 minutes until the carrots are tender.  Serve over parboiled broccoli. If you have family that is not Paleo then make a batch of brown rice for them. Enjoy!
I was really craving curry- I think it was the coconut milk that was calling my name. I cook for anywhere from 5 to 8 people for dinner 5 nights a week. We eat with our neighbors or invite friends over, but always we have a full table. I love to cook for everyone. And cooking Paleo has been a simple switch in many cases. I like to cook from scratch and we often eat lots of veggies with our meat dishes. I have just cut out the rice and pasta for me. I still cook  brown and white rice for whoever else is joining us. And lots of veggies with butter for me. I will be sure to share my Paleo Spaghetti Recipe with you.

For this curry I would normally add potatoes to the carrots but instead I made the carrots large and chunky to take the place of the potatoes. And it totally worked! My non-Paleo eaters really enjoyed it with rice and I really enjoyed it with broccoli! It was a fabulous left-over for lunch too!
