Healthy One-Pan Thai Green Curry
A warming, flavorful, mildly spicy Thai curry is easily one of the best meals! It is great to make for a quick weeknight meal when you want something fresh and flavorful.
Even better, it is made all in one pot, and the "hardest" part is chopping some ingredients! So you must make this fragrant and nutrient dense green Thai curry because it will become a staple dinner.
Ingredients and Benefits:
Pasture-raised chicken: Contains 50% more vitamin A, three times the amount of omega-3s, and letting animals graze and roam is great for the environment! I purchase 100% pasture-raised meat online from US Wellness or Grassroots Co Op (Use code “LIVNATURALLY” for 15% off)
Garlic: Has antibiotic and anti-inflammatory properties. Tip: let garlic sit out for 10-15 minutes after mincing so the enzyme allicin is activated and the benefits are retained!
Ginger: Great for gut health, anti-inflammatory, and may have neuroprotective benefits
Bell pepper: Rich in vitamins A and C, carotenoids, and fiber to protect against disease like cardiovascular and cancer
Green curry paste: Contains spices that stimulate digestion and detoxifies the body
Shallot: Contains fiber, quercetin, and organosulfur compounds to reduce inflammation and oxidative stress
Coconut milk: Rich in MCTs to improve heart health and metabolism. Also a good source of calcium and fiber
Coconut aminos: Contains 17 amino acids, probiotics, and antioxidants. It tastes similar to soy sauce, but has a little more sweetness
Fish sauce: Optional, but adds flavor and has high nutritional content
This Thai Green curry is full of delicious flavors and is also super healthy! It is easier and quicker than you'd think, and is sure to please everyone.
