Ingredients
-
2 tablespoons grapeseed oil, divided
-
1 pound chicken cutlets
-
1 (14 ounce) can light coconut milk
-
1 tablespoon brown sugar
-
1 tablespoon red Thai curry paste (see Tip)
-
1 tablespoon lime juice
-
2 cups cooked quinoa
-
Chopped fresh cilantro for garnish
Directions
-
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, in batches if necessary, and cook, flipping once, until browned and cooked through, 1 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
-
Remove pan from heat. Whisk the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, coconut milk, brown sugar, curry paste and lime juice in the pan. Cook over high heat, stirring occasionally, until reduced by half, 5 to 10 minutes. Serve the chicken with quinoa and the sauce, garnished with cilantro, if desired.
Tips
Tip: Red Thai curry paste's aromatic blend of lemongrass, ginger and chile peppers is in the middle of the road heat-wise--try green curry paste for more heat or yellow for less.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
