Simply Delish - Chicken Curry

Hi all, Can't believe that last time we blogged was from our old house. We have since bought ourselves a home and have been busy making it our own.

We've also set a date for our wedding so we've been busy, busy.

In the last year, Whitesnake and I have gained a little weight so we've been trying to make some of our favourite recipes a little healthier. This chicken curry that I cooked up last night was healthy and delicious. Why don't you give it a try!

Serves 1

Ingredients

1 small onion, diced
1 small carrot, grated
1 tablespoon low fat sour cream or natural yoghurt
1 tbsp curry powder
1 tsp olive oil
1 clove garlic, sliced
1/3 can tomatoes
1 tbsp green beans, chopped
1 tbsp brocolli, chopped
3/4 cup basmati rice
100g chicken, sliced, skin removed


Cook the rice as per packet instructions

Heat a wok and fry the chicken in the olive oil

Add onions, carrots and garlic and fry for 10 mins or until onions are soft

Add tomatoes, curry powder and vegetables and simmer for 15 mins

Stir in sour cream before serving

Healthy Breakfast Options

So, one of my goals this week was to eat a healthier breakfast and I must say it's harder than I thought. I'm finding the amount of food too much to stomach. So I've compromised and have half of it for breakfast and the rest for morning tea. I've hardly snacked at all like I used to so it's working great. Perhaps my stomach will get used to eating more in the mornings but until then, I'll continue on as I am. It also helps to have lots of healthy options in the pantry and to have an idea of what you are going to eat before you get out of bed.

I've listed below healthy options I've used so far and added a few more I'll try in the future. If you have any suggestions for breakfast, please do share.

2 slices wholemeal toast with avocado and lite cottage cheese


1/2 cup oats, 2 tbsp low fat yoghurt

2 eggs scrambled with tomato, 20g low fat cheese + 1 slice toast

2 slices toast, 1/4 avocado + 1 tbsp lite cream cheese

1 slice smoked salmon, 2 scrambled eggs + mushrooms or toast

2 Weetbix, 1/2 cup skim milk, 1/2 banana + 4 almond
2  boiled eggs, 2 slices toast + 1 tbs avocado


See you on Saturday for Simply Delish.
