Paleo Chicken Masala Curry

This week I felt like making so many different dishes so that I could have healthy lunches for the week.  I had so much chicken and peppers in the fridge and decided to make some chicken Masala curry.  I always have curry spices in my cupboards as I use them in various dishes.  I also had coconut cream in the fridge so it was the perfect dish to make with leftover ingredients! I decided to make it Paleo so that if someone wanted a dairy-free version, they could try this! I always like serving curry with either riced cauliflower or over a bed of lettuce, or even in lettuce wraps.  For this recipe, I accompanied it with some cauliflower rice that was pan-fried with leeks and pork roast, which I'll upload the recipe for later!

This week some of my meals included this curry, some cauliflower rice, some steamed broccoli with tuna and mayo, and my ultimate favorite: pickled beets. I've been finding more and more beets this past few months and I get so excited whenever I find one that I want to buy them all! I may have a shopping addiction when it comes to beets... Anyways, I usually like to prepare meals like this and put a little of everything in my lunchbox.  I also like to add some of it to my dinners if I think that I'm missing something so every week, I tend to prepare these small dishes that can be used for any meals! I usually prepare these dishes ahead of time as part of one of my PCOS diet plans. I actually just got this glass container set that are also oven-proof so it's really hand to have! I also really like that the food looks good in them! I find it's really fun to cook when you have cute dishes where you can show off your meals!
