Thai Stir Fry and Coconut Rice

I am still enjoying the Daniel Plan detox. I will be honest that there have been a few times I have had dairy or gluten but overall, I have been able to stay with the plan. 

This recipe is my take on one of the recipes in the Daniel Plan book. If you haven't read it yet and are looking to make some healthy changes in your life, this is a great start. I can't tell you what a difference it makes when I ask for God for His strength rather than relying on will power when it comes to eating healthy and exercising.

Thai Stir Fry and Coconut Rice

Stir Fry

1 pound chicken breast, diced

1 purple onion, diced

1 teaspoon minced garlic

1 cup carrots, diced

1 red pepper, diced

1 cup snow peas or frozen green peas

1 cup zucchini, diced

1 cup broccoli, diced

1 tablespoon coconut oil

1 tablespoon peanut butter

2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce

1/4 teaspoon chili pepper flakes (can add more if you like it spicy)

Rice

1 cup brown basmati rice

1 cup unsweetened coconut milk

1 cup water

2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut flakes

For the rice, in a small sauce pan, bring milk and water to a boil. Add rice and coconut, reduce heat to low and cover. Cook until all liquid is absorbed, about 25 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat oil oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chicken, cook until browned. Add onion and cook until translucent. Add garlic and cook for another minute. Add vegetables and cook until tender. Stir in peanut butter, soy sauce, and pepper flakes.
