These are some of our favorite recipes, mostly from Cooking Light, but we tend to edit portions and ingredients
that suit our taste buds (e.g. when a recipe calls for 1 minced garlic clove, we use about 4 :) ).
Other recipes are passed down from family and friends.

Curried Chicken Sauté

This was a really tasty and easy recipe to make for myself (still flying solo)...and then, since I didn't make any rice to go alongside, I made an even more important discovery: if you roll a corn on the cob in the leftover sauce, it gives the corn an absolutely amazing kick. Forget butter; baste your corn on the cob in light coconut milk and yellow curry powder!

Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 3 ounces chicken, 1/2 cup pepper mixture, and 1 lime wedge)
Ingredients
* 3 tablespoons curry powder, divided

* 3 bell peppers (1 red, 1 orange, 1 yellow), sliced
* 1 (13.66 fl oz) can light coconut milk

Preparation
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon curry powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper over each chicken breast. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add chicken to pan; cook 5 minutes on each side or until done. Remove chicken from pan; keep warm. Add bell peppers and remaining tablespoon curry powder to pan; sauté 1 minute.

Squeeze 1 tablespoon juice from 1 lime half; slice other half into 4 wedges. Stir juice into bell pepper mixture. Cut chicken across grain into thin slices. Serve chicken with bell pepper mixture and lime wedges.
