Coconut Chicken Curry

This recipe comes from Laura Gailard. I've already lost it once, so I thought I better post it here! Very easy and very yummy!



And this is a similar one from Maggan Allred:
Four chicken breasts
eight Yukon Gold potatoes cubed 
one bag baby carrots
2 lb one onion cut in thin slices
Two cans coconut milk 
7.8 Oz golden Curry mild (comes in a box I  cubes) 

Bake in the Crock-Pot on high for 6 hours or until chicken can be shredded. Shred chicken and serve over rice and with naan. (Amazing)

Sweet Sausage Rolls - Little Smokeys

From Lonette Anderson

1 Tube refrigerated crescent rolls*

24 miniature  smoked sausage links
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
3 Tab honey
3 Tab brown sugar
Unroll crescent dough and separate into triangles; cut each triangle into three triangles lengthwise. Place each sausage roll in a pan seam side down. Mix remaining ingredients together and pour over the top. Bake 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes.

*I buy two cans of crescent roll and use a whole package of smokies, you can do this without doubling the butter mixture. It will fill a whole 9x13 pan. The Hillshire Farm brand the best. I've tried using the store brand and I thought they were yucky.

Coconut Curry Chicken

 I got this from my friend Laura at a dinner party where we all shared favorite dishes. This one is really good. 

1 T olive oil

1 medium onion, chopped

1 t salt

2 T curry powder

14-oz can coconut milk

1 c canned, diced tomatoes (or crushed)

2 T tomato paste

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast

3 C packed spinach or chopped cauliflower (opt)

Heat the oil in a large skillet. Add the onion and salt and saute over medium for about 7 minutes, until translucent. Add the curry powder and saute for an additional minute, until the spice fully coats the onion.

Incorporate the coconut milk, tomatoes, and tomato paste into the mixture. Stir occasionally for 5 minutes, until sauce slightly thickens. Fold in the chicken and summer for 5-6 minutes, or until cooked through.

Stir the spinach into the mixture and cook for 3 minutes or until wilted. Or stir in chopped cauliflower, cook until softened.

Good on rice or quinoa.

Instant Pot Peanut Chicken with Vegetables

 

Adapted from Feasting at Home by Sylvia Fountaine

Serves 4-6 adults

1 t oil

3 cloves garlic

1 T fresh ginger, chopped (or some shakes of ground ginger)

1 can coconut milk (not light)

3 T soy sauce

3 T honey

2 T lime juice

1 T chili garlic paste (or sriracha or Cholula)

1.5 lbs chicken tenders (can cut in pieces or put in whole)

1/2 C Adams Crunchy Peanut Butter

1 10 oz. bag of Birds Eye Roasted Red Potato Blend with Broccoli, Carrots, & Red Pepper, lightly cooked (or similar)

Cilantro

Heat oil in Instant Pot on saute setting. Add garlic, heat for a couple minutes. Add coconut milk, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, hot sauce, and chicken. Run Instant Pot on manual mode for 10-11 minutes. Stir  in peanut butter and cooked vegetables. Return to saute mode and let boil, while stirring, to reduce, if necessary. Serve with cilantro over rice.

This was so good! Tasted a lot like Zao or other restaurants, even a little like Massaman Curry. I cooked the vegetables to have separately, but I'm so glad I put them in.

Strawberry Cream Pie - Sister Bailey

One of Sarah's YW leaders made this for us, and it is one of the best pies I've ever tasted!

Part 1 - Crust

1 cube melted butter

1 C flour

1/4 C brown sugar

Put all 3 ingredients in a 9x13 pan. Mix together to make a paste. Take a fork and press the paste evenly to cover the entire bottom of the pan. Bake at 400 for 7 min. Then remove from oven and immediately stir with a fork to break up into crumbs. While still warm, put the crumbs in a pie pan and press to form crust. Let crust cool before putting in filling.


Part 2 - Filling

1 8 oz. brick of cream cheese

1/3 C lemon juice

1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk

1 t vanilla

Mix all four ingredients in a blender until completely smooth. Pour into pie crust.


Part 3 - Topping

1/2 C sugar

1/8 C corn starch

1/8 C strawberry jello [powder]

dash of salt

1 C water

Put all 4 dry items together in a pan and mix. Then add the water and stir until smooth. Cook on stove at medium heat until it boils and becomes clear (this does not take long). Let cool until slightly warm. Use with fresh berries to top pie. Let sit in fridge for 6 hours before serving.
