Thai Red Curry Chicken

by chefnatskitchen

This simple thai dish is easy to prepare and ready in under 30 minutes. Flavorful thai red curry-infused coconut milk sauce, juicy chicken and fresh veggies served over a bed of quinoa. It’s the perfect meal for a weeknight dinner or meal prep.

Ingredient Notes and Health Benefits:

Chicken Tenderloin: A lean cut of chicken, I love using tenderloins for this recipe. They are also pre-cut which is extra nice.

Diced Onion: Add lots of flavor to the dish, onions contain a high level of antioxidants and anti-inflammatories.

Fresh Garlic: Have a positive impact on blood pressure, cholesterol and prevent heart disease.

Diced and Fire Roasted Tomatoes: High in lycopene, which is a powerful antioxidant that reduces the risk of many types of cancer

Reduced Fat Coconut Milk: Makes the sauce so flavorful and silky, I prefer the reduced fat version.

Red Curry Paste: I buy the Thai Kitchen brand.
