So much chicken!! Chicken Curry Clafouti & Cilantro Lime Chicken

Aaron and I bought a nice big packet of nice organic chicken breasts from Grants Quality Foods. Unfortunately everything comes frozen so I had a lot of defrosted chicken to use.

I looked up some recipes and decided on making Chicken Curry Clafouti which I got from the Primal BluePrint Cookbook from Mark's Daily Apple and the Cilantro Lime Chicken which is from Paleo Girls.

I was a bit sceptic about making the Chicken Curry Clafouti as it contained lots of butter and coconut milk. I always wondered what it was that upset my stomach - the grains or the dairy. It was quite a heavy dish overall so you couldnt eat too much in one go. And my stomach was fine afterwards :) Could be because I used unslated butter and organic coconut milk? Not sure..

INGREDIENTS
  • 6 Eggs
  • 6 tblsp melted Butter
  • 3/4 cup Cream or Coconut Milk
  • 4 cups Chicken (cooked & chopped)
  • 2 tblsp Curry Spice
  • Salt & Pepper to taste

METHOD
  • Preheat oven to 204C/400F
  • Butter a 10" round or 13x9" dish
  • Whisk together Eggs, Butter and Cream (I used coconut milk) until frothy
  • Mix in Chicken and Curry Spice
  • Pour into baking dish
  • Bake about 45mins or until top is golden brown and puffy

The Cilanto Lime Chicken was delicious! It had a yummy citrus finish and the Cilantro (known back home as Coriander) added a nice touch. Aaron however doesnt like it so much..

INGREDIENTS
  • 4 bone in, skin on chicken thighs (I used two chicken breasts cut into cubes)
  • 1 Lime
  • 2 tblsp Cilantro
  • 1 tblsp Ground Coriander (I didnt use this)
  • 1 tsp Ground Cumin
  • 2 tsp Sea Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Ground Pepper
  • 3 tbsp Olive Oil
  • Zucchini (I threw this in as a yummy side)

METHOD
  • Preheat oven to 190C/375F
  • In a small bowl, combine Coriander, Cumin, Salt & Pepper
  • Coat Chicken with Oil and spice mixture
  • Pan fry Chicken on medium-high heat for 5mins. Transfer to oven and bake for 30mins
  • Chop zucchini in half lengthways then in half again
  • Season with olive oil & pepper and put in oven when there is 15mins left with the chicken
  • Remove from oven when done and garnish with fresh squeezed lime juice and cilantro (I only used lime)
Enjoy!!
