Broccoli-Rice Bake with Coconut Curry Sauce

2 C brown rice, rinsed well
4 C water
1 can (14 oz.) coconut milk
1 Tbsp. cornstarch
1 Tbsp. curry powder
½ C chopped cilantro
2 tomatoes, chopped
1½ tsp. sea salt
Mixed vegetables - see below
2 Tbsp. coconut oil
Bring the water and rice to a boil, turn down to medium low, cover, and simmer for 45 min. In a frying pan, lightly sauté harder veggies on medium high for 5 min., then add softer/smaller veggies and sauté another 2 min. In a blender, blend coconut milk, cornstarch, curry powder, and salt. Add the blend to a small pan.  Heat on medium high, stirring frequently, gradually reducing to a simmer until sauce is thickened.
Keep brown rice, veggies and curry sauce separate and let kids assemble themselves.
Garnish with the tomato, and cilantro. Serve hot. Serves 6-8.

I used 1 crown of broccoli, 1 zucchini (cut in large julienne slices), 10 baby carrots cut in sticks, 1/2 red bell pepper, 1/2 yellow pepper


3 stems of broccoli (including most of stalk), cut into bite-sized pieces
8 oz. mushrooms, washed well and cut in thirds

Recipe slightly adapted from green smoothie girl.

Bourbon Chicken

Every Single Person in my family liked this chicken. It is different from other Bourbon Chicken Recipes that I've tried because it has a bit of a kick. Another option would be to put it in the crock pot for a few hours and then cook over rice. Serve with rice and cauliflower.


2 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts
4 T. oil (for pan frying)
Cornstarch (for dusting, optional)
Sauce:
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 t. ginger (fresh or powdered)
Dash crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 c. apple juice
1/3 c. brown sugar
3 T. ketchup
1 T. apple cider vinegar
1/2 c. water
1/3 c. soy sauce

I slightly adapted this from Deals to Meals - a great website!
