Maple Curry Chicken
Ingredients:
2 tbsp of vegetable oil or olive oil
3 tbsp of red curry paste
3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into cubes
3 large cloves of garlic, minced
1/2 red onion, cut into thin strips
1 yellow, red and green pepper, cut into strips
1/4 cup of pure maple syrup*
1 1/2 cups of cream (light, 5% MF) **
1 lb of penne pasta, or 1/2 package of Ramen noodles
Directions:
Step 1: Cook noodles according to package. Set aside.
Step 2: In a large frying pan, over medium heat, add 1 tbsp of vegetable/olive oil. Add the red curry paste and mix. Let this cook for 2 minutes, then add the cubed chicken. Mix altogether. Let the chicken cook for 5 minutes, turning it over as needed.
Step 3: In a separate frying pan, over medium heat, add 1 tbsp of veg/olive oil. Add the red onion and saute for a few minutes, roughly 3-4 minutes. Then add the bell peppers and garlic. Cook for 4-5 minutes.
Step 4: Add the chicken to onions and bell pepper mixture. Add about half of the maple syrup and all the cream and mix together. Let this cook for a few minutes.
Step 5: Taste test to see if it's at the sweetness you prefer. If you like yours a little more sweeter, add the rest of the maple syrup. Add the cooked noodles, mix and serve.
*You may not need to add all 1/4 cup of maple syrup.
** You can use coconut milk instead of cream.
