Fast & Fabulous: Red Curry Chicken Stir Fry!
January 29, 2013 / Stephanie Miskew / 0 Comments
In the constant quest for healthy, weeknight meals that require a minimal amount of time and effort, here’s another Fast & Fabulous recipe I’d like to share with you: Red Curry Chicken Stir Fry!
This recipe was inspired by some of my favorite Asian flavors including spicy red curry, creamy coconut milk, and fresh ginger. The shiitake mushrooms, chopped peanuts and dark meat chicken also add delicious texture to the dish that really keeps you coming back for more – Steve will happily vouch for that!
If you’re in the mood for wine (c’mon, you know you are!), a white wine with a hint of sweetness like a Pinot Gris or Riesling will work nicely to complement the flavors and keep the spicy heat in check. If you’re in the mood for red, however, give a light, fruity Beaujolais a try.
I hope you enjoy this delicious dish and to browse even more of our Fast & Fabulous recipes, please click here!
Bon appétit,
