Low-Amine Green Curry Chicken (low-amine, gluten-free, soy-free, dairy-free, nut-free, paleo, low-fat, low-carb)
I have been missing curries again, and one of my favorites is Green Curry Chicken. Unfortunately, it’s usually made with coconut milk, so I can’t eat it. You can use regular milk or cream in this recipe if you prefer the dairy, but it isn’t necessary. As is, this low-amine Green Curry Chicken was delicious. The avocado lends a wonderful creaminess to it that makes up for the fats missing by removing the coconut milk.
2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
1/2 tsp salt
2 Tbsp granulated garlic powder
3 Tbsp safflower oil
2 Tbsp ginger, peeled and roughly chopped
1 1/2 tsp ascorbic acid
1 avocado, barely ripened
2 medium bundles cilantro
1 Tbsp lemongrass (white parts)
1/2 tsp cayenne
1 Tbsp water
1 1/2 tsp salt
2 C rice milk
Steamed rice (I won’t insult your intelligence. I’m going to assume you know how to do this.)
- Make rice.
- In a bowl, add chicken pieces, garlic powder, 1/2 tsp salt, and garlic powder. Mix until evenly coated.
- Heat large pan to medium high and add oil. When oil is hot, add chicken. Allow to brown, then flip pieces over to brown other side. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring often (don’t burn your chicken!), or until just barely done.
- Pour chicken into a clean bowl and set aside.
