Week 4 Saturday Cereal; Chicken Curry, Rice, Green Peas and Chocodiles

It's Saturday morning of Week Four.

Saturday is the only day of the week I don't cook something for breakfast. I grew up watching Saturday morning cartoons - and cereal goes so well with that! But today the kids and I are catching up on Netflix shows that are premiering their new seasons soon while we cuddle up together with cereal on the couch.

On tonight's menu is chicken curry over rice. I love the mixture of spicy curry with the unique flavor coconut milk paired with rice. And this recipe has apples and cucumbers which add interest and different textures. So I can't wait.

For dessert, Chocodiles are on the menu. I love these things, it's a really soft peanut butter cookie bar topped with a crunchy chocolate peanut butter topping. It's practically addictive, it's so good! 

 

Chicken Curry, Rice, Green Peas and Chocodiles

DINNER:

1.       Cut chicken into 1-2 inch pieces

2.       Peel and cut the apples and cucumbers

 

3.       Heat a little oil in a large frying pan to medium high heat, add chicken, then salt and pepper it

4.       Cook until chicken is browned and mostly cooked through.  Add chopped onion, garlic and parsley.

 

5.       Add chopped apples and cucumbers

6.       Add curry, dry mustard, nutmeg and flour

7.       Add chicken stock (I use water and chicken bouillon)

 

 

 
8.       Add coconut milk, lemon juice and cream

9.   Let simmer over medium heat until sauce is reduced, vegetables are cooked through and the flavors have melded.

10.   Serve over rice. ENJOY!

 

DESSERT:

 

1.       Heat oven to 350 degrees. Put butter, brown sugar and peanut butter in the bowl of a stand mixer, beat well until creamy and slightly fluffy

2.       Add salt, egg and vanilla. Mix well.

3.       Add flour, beat in just until combined.

4.       Spread in greased 9x13 inch pan. Bake 15-20 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Cool slightly.

 

5.       Melt chocolate chips and peanut butter together in bowl in the microwave (Use 50% power, I start with one minute on 50% power. Then stir to see how melted they are. the chocolate chips will hold their shape until you stir them, so don't think they aren't melted just by looking at them.)

6.       Stir until smooth, then stir in cornflakes, crush slightly and coat with the melted chocolate peanut butter mixture.

 

7.       Spread over cooled cookie bars, let sit until chocolate sets. ENJOY!
