Thai Peanut Chicken Makes 6 servings ingredients 1 (14 oz) can full-fat coconut milk ¼ cup natural peanut butter 2 tablespoons red curry paste 3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce (or tamari sauce) 3 tablespoons lime juice 2 tablespoons honey 4 garlic cloves, minced ½ tablespoon freshly grated ginger ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes 2 pounds boneless skinless raw chicken breasts, diced into 1-inch cubes Materials: 1 gallon-sized freezer bag directions To prep: Combine all ingredients other than the chicken in a medium sized bowl or mini blender. Dice the chicken into 1-inch cubes. Place the cubed chicken and ingredients for the peanut sauce in a large Ziploc bag. Remove as much air as possible. Freeze up to three months. To cook: Allow to thaw for 24 hours in the fridge. Dump the ingredients in the slow cooker, stir and cook on low for 4-6 hours. To serve: Serve chicken and peanut sauce over sautéed veggies and brown rice or rice noodles. For veggies, I like to use sliced red peppers, snap peas, diced broccoli and thinly sliced carrots. You can also use a bag of frozen stir-fry vegetables for quick meal prep. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Top with chopped peanuts, cilantro and diced green onion. If there is a lot of peanut sauce left over, sometimes I will re-purpose it for another meal later on in the week and mix it in with some cooked shrimp or tofu and veggies.

White Chicken Chili Makes 6 servings ingredients 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts 2 (19oz) cans no salt-added cannellini beans, rinsed and drained 1 cup salsa verde 1 (4oz) can mild green chiles 2 teaspoons ground cumin 1-2 cups frozen corn 3-4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth (*not needed until day of cooking) Materials: 1 gallon-sized freezer bag directions To prep: Add all ingredients other than the broth to a large Ziploc bag. Remove as much air as possible. Freeze for up to three months. To cook: Allow to thaw in the refrigerator for 24 hours. Dump contents of bag into the crockpot and add 3 cups of broth. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. Remove chicken breasts and shred using two forks. Add shredded chicken back into the pot and stir. * If you like a thicker chicken chili, you may wish to remove the chicken breasts at the end of the cooking time and pulse some of the soup with an immersion blender a couple of times or transfer a portion of the soup to a blender to puree and add back into the pot to make it a little more thick and creamy. Alternatively, you can add a bit of cornstarch to the soup mixture to thicken. You may also wish to add some additional corn after pureeing the soup to incorporate some extra texture and colour since some of the corn will get pureed when blending the soup. To serve: Serve topped with crispy tortilla strips or crushed corn chips, diced avocado, fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice. WWW.HAUTEANDHEALTHYLIVING.COM ©2021 HAUTE & HEALTHY LIVING
