Can we talk for a second about trying to make curry soup look pretty? I mean, it’s YELLOW and the sweet potatoes I used were yellow. Side note: I totally prefer the lighter colored sweet potatoes, you? The first time I used them I thought they were mislabeled because for most of my life I knew nothing about vegetables. Anyway, I love them, and I think they are sweeter and softer than the orange ones.

Oh, and ummm cooked kale? The ugliest. If this soup weren’t so freaking delicious, I would have said F it, called it quits, and just pouted while sadly eating straight from the crockpot. Seriously, it’s super fun to live with a food blogger who gets super grouchy when things don’t go her way. The other night I had a melt down because I took like 5 zillion pictures of steam coming off my mac & cheese only to realize the wine glass I had set in the background was still empty. Life is hard sometimes.

Anyway, this soup was totally worth it, pretty or not. With the bold curry flavor, the creamy coconut milk and my very favorite food (sweet potatoes, in case you’re new here), you really can’t go wrong. The chicken cooks up perfectly in the crockpot with extra work involved, and the kale adds a little nutrient + flavor bonus. I love kale. I’m such a cliche.

This soup is perfect for the busy fall months when you want something delicious and warm waiting for you when you come home–it makes weeknight dinners a breeze, and it tastes way more indulgent than it actually is, so it’s a win-win!

Easiest Crockpot Curry Chicken

November 2, 2013 · by Ari · 34 Comments

Bold, flavorful curried chicken in your crockpot has never been so easy–the perfect weeknight meal that anyone can put together.

Most of the time I truly enjoy cooking. I love being creative in the kitchen, and putting together a bunch of things that make my husband make that face where he raises an eyebrow and the rest of his face gets all scrunchy, only to end up admitting his unfounded skepticism when he tastes the deliciousness that ensues.

But sometimes getting in the kitchen after a long day sounds like the worst thing everrrrr. This is when I love my crockpot. And even more, I love crockpot recipes that literally require zero effort on my part. If I have to brown meat first, it usually never even ends up happening because that means I actually have to remember to cook at 7am.

This is the easiest recipe you will ever make. And you want to know a secret? Usually when I make it, I use a bag of broccoli that steams in the microwave and boil-in-a-bag rice. Sometimes I remember to set up my rice cooker which is also super hands off, but I like the option of being 100% lazy.

As easy and simple as this recipe is, it doesn’t taste like it! The flavors are bold, and it’s one of those dishes where you look forward to eating the leftovers all week long. In fact, sometimes Steve and I even fight about who gets to take them to lunch. 😉

Easy Crockpot Curry Chicken

Bold, flavorful curried chicken in your crockpot has never been so easy--the perfect weeknight meal that anyone can put together.

Ingredients

  • 2 large chicken breasts
  • 3 cups green curry sauce (use gluten-free and/or dairy-free sauces is desired)*
  • Brown rice and steamed broccoli for serving**

Instructions

  1. Place chicken in slow cooker. Cover with curry sauce. Cook on low for 5-6 hours.
  2. Remove chicken from slow cooker and shred. Return to sauce. Serve with brown rice and steamed broccoli.

Notes

*Curry sauce needs to cover chicken. Depending on the size of your slow cooker and chicken breasts, you may need more or less sauce. **I serve about half a chicken breast with 1/2 cup brown rice and 1 cup broccoli. Feel free to alter as desired, or serve with something totally different.

Curried Chicken Salad {without mayo}

April 18, 2013 · by Ari · 19 Comments

Today I am going to tell you something so embarrassing. Like, I can’t even believe I’m going to tell you, but it’s just so embarrassingly funny that it would be wrong to not give you the opportunity to laugh at me.

Okay, first let me tell you that on Sunday morning I woke up and stretched in bed. All of the sudden my neck snapped, and the pain was immediate. I have barely been able to move my head since. I even called in sick to one of my jobs on Monday and I never call in sick. Anyway, I’ve been glued to the couch after making my way through every episode of How I Met Your Mother that Netflix has to offer, I found myself needing something to watch to ease the pain.

This is where things get ugly. You see, when I’m sick, I love mindless TV. I love that it keeps going and going. I love that I only have to tune in every now and then to understand what’s going on. And I love that I don’t have to use my brain. So this morning when I was deciding what was next while I waited for my stupid neck to heal (I’ve been blogging from the couch laying on my back with my laptop on me knees when I don’t absolutely have to be at work), I may have chosen the most embarrassing TV show ever.

Like, ever. So when Steve came home this afternoon from Landis (he just hangs out at the bike shop for no reason….), I quickly tried to turn off the TV so he wouldn’t see just how low I’d stooped. Then I tried to distract him by pretending to be interested in his trip to the bike shop, but it was no use.

Steve: Are you watching Dawson’s Creek???

Me: I don’t wanna talk about it….

Steve: Babe, I know you’ve been having a hard time (as he struggles to speek through his eruptive laughter)…. Well It would be worse if you were watching it on Hulu or something.

Me: I DON’T WANNA TALK ABOUT IT!!!

Steve: Really?? REALLY?????

(He then gets out his laptop and attempts to post on facebook about me. I plead with him not to embarrass me on the internet–clearly, I’m fully capable of doing that myself…)

Me: (finally) I thought I should start at the beginning.

And that my friends is how ridiculously embarrassing I am. That pretty much sums up my life.

But you know what? Even when I can’t move, I can still make this ridiculously easy chicken salad. It was the first thing I made in days, and I was so thrilled to actually do something productive. I MADE FOOD!! For, like, the entire week! I don’t suck at life!!

Curried Chicken Salad {without mayo} #glutenfree via arismenu.com

One of my best healthy habits (when I actually do it) is making a bulk healthy meal on Sundays that I use for lunch for the entire week. The thing is–you actually have to make it, and you have to REALLY like it if you’re going to eat it all week long (I usually take myself out to Chipotle one of the days, because, I mean, COME ON!). This is what we call lazy woman’s “food prep”.

This chicken salad is so simple with only a handful of ingredients, and it comes together in minutes giving you an entire week’s worth of lunch in less time than it takes me to make breakfast in the morning. And, umm, I would TOTALLY eat this every day for the next 10 weeks. It is bold and flavorful with the curry seasoning, and has a spicy kick with sweet grapes and crunchy almonds and celery–it is perfection. You can eat it on lettuce, with a fork, on rice cakes, in a sandwich, in a Dr. Seuss book… It doesn’t matter how you eat it because, trust me, you will love it!
