30-Minute Red Curry Chicken

4 servings Prep time: 10 min

I love a 30-minute meal and I love curry, so I put the two together for this Red Curry Chicken Skillet. Boneless, skinless chicken thighs make an excellent and easy-to-prepare protein source and they acquire tons of flavors from all the delicious herbs and spices in this recipe.

Red curry paste offers plenty of medicinal benefits, from anti-inflammatory and immunity-supporting properties to boosting digestive and circulatory function.

I love adding in green beans and layering it over a bed of cauliflower rice for additional fiber and phytonutrients.

Step 2

While the chicken is cooking, move on to the cauliflower rice section. In the other skillet, add the avocado oil along with the minced garlic and sea salt and cook for 10 seconds, then make sure to add the cauliflower rice immediately so that the garlic doesn’t burn. Keep stirring until the cauliflower rice is ready, about 5 minutes.
