Brazillian Chicken



Recommended Posts

i adapted it from this: http://allrecipes.co...h-coconut-milk/

Ingredients

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper (less if you don't want spicy)

1 teaspoon ground coriander

2 chicken breasts, halved

salt & pepper to taste.. for me this was 1/4 teaspoon of both salt & pepper

1 onion, chopped

1 tablespoon minced fresh (or in my case, grated frozen) ginger

2 jalapenos (remove the seeds and veins in them if you want them to be less spicy)

1/4 cup bell pepper (i used red)

2 cloves garlic (or in my case like 4 cloves.. lol)

3 tomatoes, seeded & chopped (i left the seeds in.. you can use canned tomatoes if you want, but i don't like the tinny taste they have.)

12 oz almond milk

2 oz coconut milk

parsley, for garnish..

Directions

In a large ziploc bag, mix salt & pepper, as well as the cumin, cayenne pepper, turmeric, and coriander. Place the chicken in the bag & make sure that it is coated as possible on all sides with the spice mixture.

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the chicken in the skillet. Cook until no longer pink and juices run clear. Remove from heat and set aside.

Heat the remaining olive oil in the skillet. Cook and stir the onion, ginger, peppers, and garlic until tender. Mix in the tomatoes and continue cooking 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in the almond/coconut milk. pour mixture over the chicken & let simmer until sauce thickens.

Garnish with the parsley & enjoy. :)

you can freeze the excess & eat it again at a later date. :) low carb, lots of Protein & some veggies!

mom & i just had some for dinner & she said she wants me to make it again. lol

gonna whip up some avocado chocolate pudding for dessert. :)http://penniesonapla...colate-pudding/ (i use swerve instead of sugar & almond milk instead of milk)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
