    • Did You Make This?

I did things a little backwards this week and now I’m bringing you the featured recipes from my meal prep that I posted yesterday.  This one is a simple but delicious Red Thai Curry that I currently can’t get enough of 🙂 Curries are great for meal prep because the meat sits there in the curry sauce for however long it’s in your refrigerator and the sauce keeps it from drying out, plus it stays just as tasty (if not more tasty) as it was the day you made it.

Fun fact: I used to detest all curry because of a bad experience I had at an Indian restaurant in college.  I still have yet to try the yellow Indian curry again, but I’m sure I’ll get there some day.  Thai curry though…that’s my jam.  Green, red, yellow – doesn’t matter, I love it all.  I was lucky enough to go get some of the real thing in Thailand a couple years ago and IT. WAS. AMAZING. I remember riding back to the hotel at night and seeing all the fresh produce getting delivered to the markets late at night…bushels upon bushels of lemongrass and morning glory (“water spinach”) all over the street.  And eating at a “street restaurant” where someone’s grandma was cooking in an open air kitchen on one side of the alley and we got served the food at a little table on the other side.  Ahhh, memories.

Here are some obligatory meal prep glamour shots:

Oh, hey – cash me on YouTube, how bow dah?

  • 1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth, (4 oz)

  • Add sliced chicken breast and mix, then add carrot slices. Sauté for 3-4 minutes or until chicken is partly cooked through, then add ¾ cup coconut milk and chicken broth. Bring to a boil.
