Ingredients:

• 1.5 cups uncooked Jasmine rice (prepared according to package directions)
• 1 lb chicken breast or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 1 teaspoon Clean Monday Meals Everyday Beef Seasoning
• 1 tablespoon olive oil or coconut oil
• 1 to 2 tablespoons red curry paste (for color and mild spice)
• 1/4 cup red bell pepper, very finely diced
• 2 (13.5 oz) cans full-fat coconut milk (or 1 can coconut milk + 1 cup chicken broth)
• 1/2 cup Clean Monday Meals Cream of Chicken Powder
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1 tablespoon honey or coconut sugar
• Fresh cilantro and lime wedges for garnish

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Jasmine rice according to the package instructions so it is fresh and fluffy for serving.
2. In a small bowl, toss the chicken pieces with 1 teaspoon of Everyday Beef Seasoning until evenly coated.
3. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken pieces and cook until browned and cooked through (about 5–7 minutes). Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
4. In the same pan, add the curry paste and the very finely diced bell pepper. Stir-fry for about 1 minute until fragrant.
5. Pour in the coconut milk (and broth, if using) and whisk in the Clean Monday Meals Cream of Chicken powder, honey, and lime juice. Stir continuously until the sauce begins to simmer and thickens into a creamy consistency.
6. Return the cooked chicken to the pan and stir until it is completely coated and heated through in the thick sauce. Let it simmer for an extra minute so the finely diced peppers soften completely into the sauce.
7. Serve the creamy chicken and plenty of extra sauce generously over the prepared Jasmine rice. Top with fresh cilantro and an extra squeeze of lime.

*Tips for Success

Pro Tip for Texture: The Clean Monday Meals Cream of Chicken provides a wonderful, rich thickness on its own. However, if you prefer an even heavier, restaurant-style glaze, simply whisk 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of cold water to create a slurry. Stir this into the simmering sauce during the final minute of cooking until it reaches your perfect consistency.
