Vegan Cilantro Coconut Curry with Beyond Chicken Strips

This is an easy and light coconut curry that is super yummy on top of quinoa or brown rice. I used Beyond Meat, Chicken Strips to add some additional protein. I like Beyond Meat's Chicken because their ingredients are pretty clean, opposed to other vegan alternative meats. It also REALLY tastes like chicken strips... Texture and all. I served the curry with roasted Kalettes, a new veg that's a combo of kale and brussels sprouts, and topped with freshly diced jalapeño peppers. If you're a baby, you can leave out the peppers. Enjoy!
