One Pot- 30Minute- Easy- Tasty- Dinner Recipes !!
These 3 meals are some of my client FAVORITE dinner recipes that everyone in the family loves, even picky husbands and kids ;).
They are full of nutrients, super flavorful, packed with healthy fats and high in protein!
1. Chicken Curry
Ingredients:
1 Onion, diced
1 Red Pepper, chopped
1 tablespoon, Oil - Olive
9 unit/thigh, Costco Canada
2 tbsp, Spices, curry powder
1 Tsp, Cinnamon
3 tbsp, garlic powder
1 tbsp, paprika
1 tbsp, cumin seed
1 tbsp, red chili flakes
2 Tbsp, Garam Masala
2 tsp, salt
1 tbsp black pepper
400 mL, Tomato Sauce
½ cup 0% Greek Yogurt Plain
Directions:
Preheat a medium skillet to about Medium-High heat
Add in your oil, chopped onions and peppers and sauté until soft
Using a sharp knife, cut chicken thighs into small cubes or chunks, then place in the same skillet with the softened onions & peppers. Mix occasionally, making sure chicken browns evenly on all sides.
Once chicken is almost fully cooked, cover skillet with a lid and allow chicken to finish cooking.
Next, add in your seasonings - salt, pepper, curry powder, cinnamon, garlic powder, chili flakes, paprika, cumin, and garam masala. (Feel free to add seasonings to taste; however, exact amounts I used are listed in the ingredients!)
Mix everything together to allow spices to coat chicken and veggies evenly.
Pour in tomato sauce and Greek yogurt and stir until sauce lightens in color. Allow to simmer with the lid partially covered for 10-20 minutes. Sauce should begin to thicken.
Serve immediately over some warm basmati rice, or allow to cool fully before placing in storage containers for your meal prep throughout the week!
2. Easy Turkey Chili
Ingredients:
500g lean ground turkey
1 onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp olive oil
3 carrots, peeled and diced
3 celery stalks, diced
1 can kidney or mixed beans
1 can tomato sauce
1 tbsp chili powder
1/2 tbsp paprika
1/2 tbsp cumin
salt and pepper to taste
*optional: green onions & Greek yogurt to garnish
Directions:
In a large pot heated to medium-high, add in olive oil, garlic and onions and sauté until golden brown and fragrant.
Next, add ground turkey and allow to fully cook and become browned on the sides. Break apart into small chunks as you cook.
Once meat is cooked, add in carrots and celery and stir to incorporate. Stir continuously and allow to soften. Cover pot with lid and allow to 'sweat' for about 5 minutes.
Add in tomato sauce, then bring chili to a simmer.
Once simmering, add in spices (paprika, chili, cumin, salt & pepper), then stir until fully combined.
Mix in beans, stir again, then allow simmer for another 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Once veggies and beans are completely soft, serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt & green onions. Enjoy!
3. Thai Coconut Shrimp Curry
Ingredients-
1 tbsp olive oil
3 cloves minced garlic
1 chopped onion
2 tsp grated ginger
1 chopped red bell pepper
2 tsp of ground turmeric
2 tbsp mild red curry paste
1 can of diced tomatoes
1 small can of coconut milk
30 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
salt and pepper to taste
chopped fresh parsley
basmati rice
Directions-
Start by using a large pot and turning the stove to medium/high. Add in a little bit of olive oil and chopped onion and minced garlic. Let it sweat until the onions are translucent and you can smell the aromatics.
Once that has that nice aroma, add in the grated ginger and bell pepper. Mix and allow to cook down. This will be about 5 minutes.
From there, add in turmeric and red curry paste. Make sure that it’s coated with all of the ingredients in the pot. Let it simmer there so the spices can release their flavor. Don’t move to the next step too soon, as the spices need time to release their natural flavors and aromas.
From there, add in your full can of diced tomatoes and coconut milk.
Next, toss in your shrimp and bring the entire batch to a simmer so it cooks down fully and the shrimp cooks completely.
Season with salt and pepper to taste - I love a good sprinkle of freshly cracked pepper!
