Healthy Thai Green Curry with Chicken and Sweet Potato Recipe

Written By Jason Kieffer • 2 min read

One of my favorite genres of cuisine, this healthy Thai Green Curry is a light version of a Thai classic that has been PFC approved by our campers! Perfect for the fall, this comfort food recipe is packed with amazing ingredients that are healthy for you! Some may question the fat content with chicken thighs but surprisingly the chicken thigh is not that much higher in fat than the white chicken breast and it is so much more flavorful and more moist than the breast. And of course, helps the dish become high in protein to make it a balanced meal. The recipe brings in the sweet potato which has such a sweet flavor naturally and is much higher in Vitamin A an Potassium than the regular potato. The light coconut milk is full of healthy fats that help lower the bad LDL cholesterol and helps to improve the good HDL cholesterol. This dish is also diabetic-friendly, using just a little coconut sugar which has nutrients still in tact, lower on the glycemic index than regular table sugar and has incredible flavor.
