I’m so excited to announce that I’m joining forces with Chicken Farmers of Canada again this year to bring you some amazing Canadian chicken recipes.

I was a brand ambassador for Chicken Farmers in 2016 and I’m thrilled that I was chosen to share all things chicken again.

Not only do I get to create new chicken recipes, but I also get to learn alongside you about farming practices when it comes to raising chickens. Did you know that there are several farming methods?

I talked about these methods in this recipe for Southwestern Chicken Stuffed Peppers but I’ll list them here again:

• Free Range: Free range birds must have access to the outdoors (varies from farm to farm).
• Free Run: Free run chickens do not need to be raised outside but they are required to be able to move around freely within the barn. All chickens raised for meat in Canada are free run.
• Grain Fed: This is mostly for marketing. All chicken in Canada is given a feed that consists of at over 88% grain.
• Halal: Meat that comes from chicken that follows the Muslim guidelines.
• Hormone Free and/or Steroid Free: Hormones have been banned from chicken since the 1960’s in Canada.

• Kosher: Kosher means that this fits the dietary requirements of Jewish law.
• Organic Chicken: Organic chicken is raised to a specific standard as laid out by the Canadian General Standards Board, in addition to the standards set by an organic certification board. Generally, chicken must be raised with certified organic feed that contains no animal by-products or antibiotics and any supplements, such as vitamins, must be approved by a certification body.
• Vegetarian Grain Fed: This means that the feed has no animal by-products. For the protein source, soy is included but keep in mind that it can alter the taste and color of the meat.
• Raised Without Antibiotics: This means that the chicken was raised without any antibiotics.

PSST, Canadians: When you’re shopping, keep your eyes peeled for the logo seen above.

That’s how you know that your chicken has been raised by a Canadian farmer, which not only helps out our economy but gives peace of mind knowing that our chicken is regulated through auditable programming.

If you don’t see this symbol, ask your store to get it in! We need our voices to be heard that Canadians want Canadian raised chicken.

Curry Chicken Meatballs

I’m writing this on January 9th, which is day 1 of my Whole30 challenge. Working with chicken is perfect because it’s so versatile.

I can make any recipe I want with it, and it’s easy to make healthy, paleo, or Whole30 approved recipes. These Coconut Curry Chicken Meatballs were really tasty. I served them with a simple cauliflower rice.

TBK’s Pro Tip: If you’re a sauce girl, like me, I recommend doubling the coconut curry sauce. Yum!

Recipe note and a little F.Y.I: the raw part of this is very goopy, but they come together nicely when baked up, so don’t worry when you start it.

Coconut Curry Chicken Meatballs Ingredients

Specific Ingredients I used for the recipe:

I have included some affiliate links of what I used below for your convenience. 

• Canned Coconut Milk
  • I used Thai Kitchen, some readers have said the sauce was too thin. My only thought to that would be that it’s possible the brand of coconut milk could have something to do with that. Let me know what coconut milk you use!
• Coconut Aminos
• Red Curry Paste
• Freeze Dried Cilantro
• Almond Butter

  

Attention Weight Watcher Freestylers, I had this converted into points and here you go:

The meatballs are 0 points. The sauce is 7 points for the whole thing, and it makes 20 meatballs so less than 1 point each.
