Vajko Honey Curry Chicken

THM-Friendly: S

This recipe was a favorite of ours, shared with us by our dear friends the Vajkos. I have changed some of the ingredients to be sugar-free/gluten-free and it is being shared with their permission. ~ Coach Kristie Leah

  • 3 lbs. of boneless (raw) chicken, diced into bite-size chunks
  • 1 cup Baking Blend
  • ¼ tsp. each of cayenne, salt and pepper
  • ¼ cup each of on-plan brown sugar, lemon juice and honey
  • 1 Tbsp. soy sauce
  • 1 tsp. curry
  • 4 Tbsp. butter
  • 2 additional Tbsp. butter, melted

Instructions:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. 
  • In a container or ziplock bag, mix the Baking Blend, cayenne, salt and pepper. 
  • Dredge the chicken in the flour mixture and then place in a 9x9" pan. Save the leftover dredge, if you have any.
  • Place the 4 Tbsp. of butter in the pan with the chicken. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes. 
  • While the chicken is baking, prepare the sauce by taking the 2 Tbsp. of melted butter and combining it with the brown sugar, lemon juice, honey, soy sauce, curry, and a little of the left-over flour dredge (about ½ a Tbsp.). When the chicken has baked the first set of 20 minutes, pour the sauce over the chicken and bake it for another 20 minutes or until thoroughly cooked. 

TIPS: You can lighten the impact on your blood sugar by reducing the honey in half and adding a tsp. of honey extract instead. This tastes amazing with some sauteed veggies over cauliflower rice or konjac noodles. Or over brown rice for a yummy crossover. 

 

enJOY!
