Coconut Chicken Curry

I love this recipe and it uses green beans and red peppers which we just got in our food baskets today.  I've tried it numerous times and really enjoy it.  It's not strong so I think most kids would eat it.

Coconut Chicken Curry
white rice (cooked)
2 chicken breasts
Fresh green beans
red bell pepper
1 can coconut milk (14 oz)
1 T green curry (add more for spicier to your taste)
1 1/2 T sugar

Boil green beans with water and a dash of salt in saucepan (drain when still a little crunchy).  Fry green beans and diced red pepper with oil; set cooked veggies aside.  Cut chicken into cubes and fry in same saucepan as vegetables; set cooked chicken aside.  Rinse out same saucepan with cold water.  Put back on burner on low setting.  Pour can of coconut milk into pan.  Add green curry and sugar.  Once dissolved, add chicken and vegetables.  Let simmer in sauce until it thickens.  Serve over rice.

Oriental Chicken Salad Recipe

Ingredients

Chicken

2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 teaspoon sesame seed oil
1 teaspoon soy sauce
salt and pepper

Salad

Green or napa cabage, shredded (about 6 cups)
Romaine lettuce, shredded (about 6 cups)
Red cabbage, shredded (about 2 cups)
Carrots, cut very thinly, or pre-cut matchstick carrots (about 1 cup)
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
8 green spring onions, chopped
1/4 cup freshly chopped cilantro
chow mein noodles (optional)

Dressing

1 tablespoon sesame seed oil
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
1 teaspoon freshly grated garlic
2 teaspoons white or black sesame seeds
2 teaspoons soy sauce
salt and pepper

Method

1. Preheat skillet or grill. Salt and pepper chicken. Add oils and soy sauce to a small bowl and mix well. Brush chicken with oil all over. Cook chicken until browned and set aside to rest.

2. Add all ingredients for salad to a large bowl. Add all ingredients for dressing to a separate bowl and mix well. Pour dressing over salad. Salad is best if you let it set for at least 15 minutes to let the cabbage soften a little. When ready to serve, top salad with cooked chicken and chow mein noodles.
