Time to Share a Recipe…

Well, I’m still on vacation. So, while you’re reading this, I’m probably sitting in a lounger reading a trashy novel with my feet in the sand and a margarita by my side.

OK, truth be told? I’m probably wrapped in sun protecting blankets under the pop up tent whining about how the sun is too bright, the showers are too cold, and the sand is too hot.

But I WILL have a margarita.

My husband I are in love with Sam the Cooking Guy (previously on Cox Cable channel 4, but now he has his own show on Discovery Health called ‘Just Cook This with Sam the Cooking Guy’)

Frankly, if I can make this meal (I’m what some call ‘culinary challenged’)… YOU can make it.

Oh, and watch Sam the Cooking Guy. He gives great tips on how to cook fast, easy, and inexpensive meals. So while I’m out, here’s a cheap dinner to enjoy.

Thai Curried Chicken

Ingredients
6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
One 14 ounce can light coconut milk
2 teaspoons cumin
2 teaspoons curry powder
2 tablespoons Asian chili paste (I used Asian chili sauce and it worked just as well)
Zest of one lime plus the juice (no zester? no worry – just use the juice)
Cilantro, chopped fine for garnish
Cooked rice for serving

Trim chicken of any extra fat. In a large bowl, combine coconut milk, cumin, curry, chili paste, lime zest and juice, mix well.

Reserve about 1/3 of the sauce for after, but add the chicken to the rest. Mix well, cover and marinate—anywhere from 15 minutes to overnight.

Heat bbq or grill pan and cook chicken on both side until cooked though—those cool grill marks are perfect here. While the chicken cooks, simmer the extra sauce in a small pot to thicken.

Slice into strips, serve on top of rice with a little extra sauce and a sprinkle of cilantro.

Serves 6.

    I always liked Sam the Cooking Guy, when I lived in SD, I think it’s cool he’s got his own show now.

    I’m so not a nature girl, I would be doing my level best to avoid having nature touch me as much as possible. Although I’d be finding a way to combine sun and water as often as I could, without other nature (read spiders, giant spiders, and the really ginormous spiders I’ve heard stalk the beaches, looking for dogs and small children to devour) actually getting near me. With a book in hand. :D

    Hope your trip was super-excellent!

    If only I could cook…

    Looks like a delicious recipe nonetheless. I’m a huge fan of boneless chicken.

    I love creating frugal recipes and came up with a Baked Penne Pasta dish that costs a total of $4.67!
