Coconut Cashew Chicken

Coconut Cashew Chicken – Serves 4

(courtesy of The Paleo Diet Cookbook by Dr. Loren Cordain)

4 skinless/boneless chicken breasts (pounded thin with meat tenderizer)

1 cup coconut curry (2 tbs extra virgin olive oil; 1 medium chopped onion, 1 Green pepper diced, 1 small chopped tomato, 4 garlic cloves crushed, 1-1inch piece fresh ginger root, 1 tbs salt free garam masala spice blend, 8 ounces coconut milk/half a tin)

1/4 Cup Chopped Cashews (although I went for half a cup because I love cashews and god forbid we had too much good fat..)

Combine chicken and curry, marinate in fridge for at least 2 hours. Remove from refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking. Preheat oven to 180 degrees. Place chicken on wire rack and cook for 20 minutes, turning at half way point. Remove from oven and scatter with cashews.

Enjoy ladies and gents..

Paleo Treats…

We all enjoy a good treat whether it be something sweet or something savoury. I certainly know I do and the fact that I have been crossing off on my calender a count down until krispy kreme in Cardiff opens today says it all!

However we have a few receipes that can help you stay on the straight and narrow whilst still satisfying those taste buds of yours.

Here are a few ideas for you to try which are simple to make coustesy of one of our members (thanks Karen!)

Paleo Pancakes-

4 whole eggs
3-4 tablespoons of ground almonds
2-3 tablespoons of whey protein (flavour is your choice)
At this point whisk up…

Xtras to add to make them super paleo pancakes…berries after you have whisked or desiccated coconut

Fry off in a non stick pan and serve with some mashed banana or spread some peanut butter over- LOVELY!

Peanut Butter Balls-

1 cup of dates (de-stoned)
1/2 cup cashews
2 tbsp peanut butter (organic Meridian if possible)
Dribble vanilla essence (optional)

Add all ingredients in a food processor until it resembles chunky breadcrumbs then roll into balls and pop them in the fridge. I didn’t have meridian peanut butter so I used organic stuff and I may have added too much vanilla but you can add more or less of each ingredient depending on preference!

Enjoy!

Kettlebell swings, deadlifts, squats etc so that you can perfect technique and learn in a conducive environment. Doesn’t mean it’s easy though!

Metabolic Conditioning (Met Con) – Aimed at driving your metabolism through the roof. This class is varied and will constantly challenge your body to keep achieving results. A healthy dose of bodyweight calisthenics, kettlebells, running pretty much anything the instructor can think of…!

HellsKettleBells – The Boat Shed is the new home of the HKB bootcamp which has been helping people to drop a stone in a month for nearly a year now.

CrossFit – A blend of Weightlifting, Gymnastics movements and High Intensity Cardio

Bar-belles – Ladies, strong is the new skinny! In this women’s only class, we’ll show you how to lift weights safely and correctly so that you can sculpt the body you want.

Women’s Only – As it says on the tin. A class open to women only, that doesn’t mean it’s easier though.

HKB Lifting Club – Learn the lifts and how to train for kettlebell sport competitions or Girevoy sport as it’s known.
