Simple Coconut Chicken Curry

Serves 2

Ingredients

1 poundSkinless Boneless Chicken Breast
1 canCanned Coconut Milk
2 headsBroccoli
0.5 tbspCornstarch
1 tbspCurry Powder
1 tspFresh Ginger
2 clovesGarlic
1 tbspPeanut Oil
3 tbspRed Curry Paste

Directions

In a medium size pan over medium-high heat add peanut oil. Toss the chicken with the curry powder and saute until cooked, about 5-8 minutes.

Remove the pan and set aside. In the same pan add more oil if needed and saute the broccoli, garlic and ginger. After a few minutes, add the coconut milk and let simmer for 5-8 minutes. The broccoli should soften but still be tender-crisp.

Add the curry paste to the pan and stir it until it combines with the coconut milk. Slide back in the chicken and any juices. Bring to a slight boil and add the cornstarch. Boil for about a minute, then reduce heat and let cool slightly (about another 2 minutes). Sauce will thicken as the mixture cools. Watch it closely, you do not want it to get to thick.

Serve over white or brown rice.

Pork Chops with Pomegranate Glaze

Serves 4

Ingredients

4Pork Chops
2 tbspOlive Oil
1.5 cupsPomegranate Juice
1 tspSalt and Pepper
3 tbspShallots
1 tbspHoney
1 tbspUnsalted Butter
1 tbspBalsamic Vinegar
2 sprigsThyme
2 tbspParsley

Directions

Generously sprinkle the pork chops on both sides with salt and pepper.

Sear the pork chops: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the oil.

Add the pork chops to the pan and cook for 3 to 5 minutes on a side, or until they are golden brown on both sides and a thermometer inserted into the center of a chop registers 145F.

Transfer to a plate and cover loosely with foil to keep the chops warm while you make the glaze.

Pour off and discard all but a think layer of oil from the pan and return the pan to the heat.

Add the shallots and cook, stirring for 45 seconds. Scrape up any browned bits that have stuck to the bottom of the pan.

Add the pomengranate juice, honey, vinegar and thyme. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, or until thickened slightly. Take the pan off the heat.

Remove the thyme sprig and whisk in the butter.

Transfer chops to a serving platter of individual plates. Spoon the glaze over top and sprinkle with parsley and pomegranate seeds.
