Coconut Jerk Chicken recipe – Time To Add Spice To Your Meals

April 19, 2018 by Rob Denny Leave a Comment

Add Spice To Your Meals For Help With Flavor And Weight Loss

add spice to your mealsWhen is the last time you tried to add spice to your meals? I don’t, I love spicy food! Not only does it taste great but it keeps you full longer. When you eat spicy food you drink a lot of water and nothing makes you feel fuller longer than water. The best thing about drinking a lot of water is zero calories. That’s why I always recommend eating as much spicy food as your body will allow. You definitely don’t want to make yourself sick or give yourself heartburn. This is why I recommend starting slow if you’re not used to spicy food. Use mild hot sauce or salsa and work your way up. Keep the water by your side when eating. Here’s a paleo friendly Coconut Jerk Chicken recipe you’ll enjoy – don’t forget the water!

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons curry powder
2 teaspoons dry Caribbean jerk seasoning
2 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules
1 teaspoon fresh minced garlic
2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves – cut into 1/2 inch cubes
1 cup peeled, seeded, and diced butternut squash
8 ounces button mushrooms, sliced
1 bunch green onions, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
1 (13.5 ounces) can coconut milk
1 (28 ounces) can whole peeled tomatoes, chopped, juice reserved
1/2 cup tomato juice
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup

Directions

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the curry powder, jerk seasoning, bouillon granules, onions, and garlic. Stir and cook for 2 minutes.
Reduce heat to medium, add the chicken, and continue to stir and cook 6 to 8 minutes more. Stir in the squash and mushrooms. Reserve 1 tablespoon green onions for garnish, and stir in the remaining amount. Continue to stir and cook 2 minutes more. Pour in the coconut milk, tomatoes, 1/2 cup reserved tomato juice, and sugar. Reduce heat to low, and simmer for 35 to 40 minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve, using 1 tablespoon green onions for garnish.
