Chicken & Chickpea Curry


Chicken & Chickpea Curry

Who doesn’t love a good curry recipe?!

This one is packed with protein from the chicken & chickpeas and is made all in one pot – which makes it easy to put together during the week.

Don’t like spice? No worries! For a milder version, just adjust the amount of chili powder to your taste.

Will you try it and let me know what you think?

Have a great day!




Ingredients:

~1 Tbsp. olive oil
~1.5 lbs grilled chicken breast, chunked
~1 medium onion, chopped
~3 cloves garlic, crushed
~½ tsp. mustard seed
~1 tsp. ground turmeric
~1 tsp. ground cumin, divided use
~1 tsp. ground coriander
~1 tsp. chili powder
~1 (15-oz.) can chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained, rinsed
~1 (14.5-oz.) can low-sodium diced tomatoes
~1 cup low-sodium organic chicken broth (or vegetable broth)

Preparation:

1. Grill and chunk up chicken breast and set aside.
2. Heat large skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil, onion, garlic, cumin, and mustard seed; cook, stirring frequently, for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the onion begins to soften.

Spaghetti Squash and Turkey Meatballs Lunch prep

Spag squash and turkey meatballs prep

 


This week has been super hectic in our house. From softball to sickness to extra hours at Express, I am super thankful for the easy meal prep I was able to do this weekend to ensure that we had healthy and filling lunches available even in a crunch!


This week I went with "Spaghetti and Meatballs" with simple substitutions to keep it healthy and delicious.

The "spaghetti" is actually spaghetti squash
