Chicken Thai Curry in a Hurry..... This was a very quick and easy recipe to make!  Hi Lee I hope you enjoy this one too!  5 Tbsp of organic butter 3 Tbsp of Whole Wheat flour soaked 2 Tbsp of Curry Powder 2-3 Cups of Coconut Milk 1 tsp minced onion flakes 2 Cups of Cooked Chicken (cooked in garlic) 3 Cloves of Garlic minced Celtic Sea Salt and Freshly ground pepper to taste Lemon Wedges approx 3 1 Med Bag of Frozen sweet peas and grated carrots 4 medium sized potatoes cubed into very small bites (cook them halfway in a pot of water then remove the water and add it to your mixture) or you can just add it to your pot and cover the pot so the potatoes cook.  Be sure they are cut small so they cook quickly. 4 Cups of Brown Rice Cooked in Chicken Broth Chicken broth (enough to cook rice in or add powdered chicken broth the healthy kind one WITHOUT MSG) 1 small package of organic chicken breasts 3-4 Tbsps of Extra Virgin Olive Oil Take your brown rice add it to a pot or to your rice cooker.  Instead of cooking my brown rice in just water I always cook it in chicken broth or I just add water and add enough healthy powdered chicken broth to give it good flavor.   Once your rice is cooked put it aside then proceed to the rest of this recipe. Wash then cut your chicken into cubes.  Put your olive oil in a pot heat and add your minced garlic.  Add your cubed chicken and cook until the chicken is cooked through.  When it is cooked take it off the heat.  Now in another pot melt your butter then add the flour and curry powder, cook and stir for about 5 min.  Now add your coconut milk.  Increase the heat and bring the mixture to a boil while stirring.  Add your small pieces of potatoes and cook for approx 5 min.  Now add your onion and the cooked chicken.  Season with salt and pepper.  Cover and cook on low for approx 5-7 min covered.  Now add your peas and carrots cooking a bit longer until they are warmed through.  Squeeze in the juice from your lemon wedges.  Cook until your mixture is thick, bubbly and heated through.  (If the mixture gets too thick just thin it out a little bit with chicken broth) Serve this over the brown rice.  This was a huge hit with my family.  I love Thai food so I was so excited to come up with this dish.  If you do not eat chicken you can use tofu instead it also tastes great.  Feel free to change the seasoning according to your own tastes.
