Butter Chicken is a delicious and easy meal to make camping. It can be turned into a vegan meal if you take out the chicken. The coconut milk makes for a creamy and delicious consistency.
If you like, you can also make nann bread to accompany your dish. Vegan bread tends to be safer for the digestive system. It can be an excellent alternative to wheat bread.
Purchasing shredded cooked chicken from a grocery store can make it easy to incorporate into your meal if you want to add protein quickly.
Water can be used as an alternative to coconut water if you don’t have it on hand.
Pineapple Chicken Stirfry or Thai Chicken Pasta are fantastic recipe alternatives after a day of hiking in the mountains or going on a kayaking day trip.
Adapt the recipe to your liking and omit items you’d prefer not to eat. You can also increase the measurements if you want to share with another couple or cut it in half if you’re two people.
It’s a satisfying taste bursting with flavour that will also fill you up after a day in the outdoors. Enjoy!
