Number Of Ingredients 18

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 large skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 onion, chopped
2 red bell peppers, sliced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
2 sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into bite-size pieces
3 cups sliced carrots
4 cups chicken broth, or more as needed
½ teaspoon curry powder
½ teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon chili powder
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup brown rice
1 cup crunchy peanut butter

Steps:

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, and brown the chicken breasts on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Place the chicken breasts into a slow cooker. Cook the onion, red bell peppers, and garlic in the hot skillet until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes; transfer the cooked vegetables into the slow cooker.
Stir the crushed tomatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, chicken broth, curry powder, cumin, chili powder, cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes, cinnamon, and black pepper into the slow cooker. Set the cooker to High, and cook for 5 to 6 hours, or cook on Low for 10 hours. Stir in additional chicken broth throughout the cooking time if needed.
Mix in the brown rice 3 hours before serving, and mix in the peanut butter at least 1 hour before serving. Shred chicken meat, and serve hot.

Tips:

Mise en place: Before you start cooking, prep all your ingredients and utensils. This will make the cooking process smoother and more efficient.
Use fresh, seasonal ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your salads the best flavor. If you can, buy your produce from a local farmer's market or grow your own.
Don't be afraid to experiment: There are endless possibilities when it comes to salads. Try different combinations of greens, vegetables, fruits, nuts, and seeds. You might be surprised at what you like!
Dress your salad just before serving: Dressing a salad too early will make the greens wilt. For the best results, dress your salad just before you're ready to eat it.
Use a light touch with the dressing: A little bit of dressing goes a long way. Too much dressing will overwhelm the other flavors in your salad.

Conclusion:

Salads are a delicious, healthy, and versatile meal option. They can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or even breakfast. With a little planning and creativity, you can create salads that are both satisfying and nutritious. So next time you're looking for a healthy meal, give one of these salad recipes a try!
