Today's weather was outrageously cold. It's amazing how things can survive in such cold weather. Checked on the worms and they are chillin with some moldy friends. I didn't realize i had to cover them with some dirt and stuff that doesn't generally mold to prevent that from happening. so far, i hope things are ok?
Only time will tell!
Today's recipe is a bulk meal item for the rest of the week. D made some crispy carnitas and we did a food exchange of two meal's equivalents. I'm excited. the crispy carnitas are delicious and the chicken casserole is spicy and filling.
Chicken casserole
Ingredients
Chicken breast (sliced into 1in cubes)
1 large sweet potato
2 carrots
large handful mushrooms
1 onion
1/2 can coconut milk
1/2 c chicken broth
paprika
garam masala
chipotle chile powder
cayenne
garlic powder
salt
black pepper
1. Preheat oven to 400F. Chop the sweet potato, onion, carrots, and mushrooms.
2. Rub chicken breast with paprika, chipotle chile powder, garlic powder, salt and black pepper. When oven is preheated, bake the seasoned chicken for 10 min in a large glass baking pan.
3. while the chicken is baking, heat fat in a large skillet/frying pan and cook the chopped vegetables until mostly tender, adding paprika, garam masala, chipotle chile powder, cayenne pepper, garlic powder and salt to taste. Add chicken broth and milk when vegetables are done.
4. Add the vegetables in coconut milk and broth to to the chicken and bake at 400F for an additional 20 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and chicken is thoroughly cooked.
This is pretty spicy mostly because I tend not to measure spices and herbs when i cook. I think i might have over done it with the chipotle and the cayenne, but it has some good heat to it that would go really well with some cauliflower rice. I'm excited to have this for dinner because it's also a pretty flexible dish that can be adjusted to be tasty in any number of ways.
til next time, EAT WELL and BE WELL!!
