{Copycat – Clone} Starbucks Chicken Curry with Couscous Salad

[donotprint] A couple years ago I would occasionally order Starbucks Chicken Curry Salad with Couscous when I hadn’t had lunch and needed a quick bite to eat.  I was sad when they discontinued making and selling this salad because it was one of my favorites.  Although I miss the salad, I don’t miss paying $5.50 for it!  Chicken Curry Salad isn’t hard to make at home either.  One large salad cost me $1.35 to make at home.  That’s a savings of $4.15!

This week I’m participating in the United Way Hunger Challenge and for lunch I prepared this salad for my husband and I.  Not only is this salad healthy, it is quite inexpensive to make.  One boneless chicken breast will make enough chicken salad for 4 servings.  Scooped and served on a bed of couscous and lettuce, this salad has become a favorite around here.  Here is my version of this popular recipe.

Chicken Coconut Curry Soup

[donotprint] Ten years ago, my friend Ann made this soup for our family when we moved into our house.  This has become one of my favorite soups and I like to prepare when I’m in a jam and need dinner quickly!  It is quite easy, tasty, and perfect for a cold winters night.  The blend of coconut milk and red curry paste is the perfect combination for a Thai style soup without any fuss.  I will warn you though, it does have a nice kick to it.  It will warm your bellies and leave you feeling satisfied.  If you don’t like spicy food, just reduce the amount of curry paste to your liking.
