Patient Success Spotlight “I was recently advised by a doctor in Durango that Johnson Physical Therapy has the best people and results in the area for physical therapy. I was personally assigned to work with Thomas. Within the first few weeks of working with Thomas I experienced a total turn around. I have felt the best I have felt in a long time. I am no longer walking stooped over, I am able to straighten up, and I have gained a total of 1.5 inches in my height! Thomas is knowledgeable and kind. I truly value the experience I had at Johnson Physical Therapy.” - Dusty R.
Healthy Recipe Slow Cooker Ginger Coconut Chicken
INGREDIENTS • 4 cloves garlic peeled • 2 inch cube ginger about 30 grams, roughly chopped • 1 small sweet onion peeled, quartered • 1 tbsp olive oil • 2 tbsp butter • 2.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs cut into four • 2 cans coconut milk, not shaken
• 2 tbsp cornstarch • 1 can baby corn cobs • 1 cup peas or frozen vegetables Spice Blend • 1/2 tsp ground pepper • 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp ground coriander • 1 1/2 tsp ground tumeric • 1 tsp salt
DIRECTIONS Combine spices together and set aside. In a food processor, pulse garlic, ginger and onion until it forms a paste. In a skillet, heat olive oil and melt butter. Add pureed aromatics and stir well. Cook for a few minutes, then add spice blend. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly. Move aromatics to one side of the skillet and add chicken pieces. Cook chicken slightly on all sides and thoroughly coat it with the spices. Transfer the skillet ingredients into a slow cooker. Remove the cream from the top of the coconut milk using a soup spoon and set aside. Pour the remaining coconut milk over the chicken until it barely covers it. Drain the corn cobs and chop in half. Add to the slow-cooker. Cook on low for 4 hours. Whisk cornstarch with coconut cream (previously set aside) until smooth and add to the chicken, stirring well. Add frozen peas or other vegetables of your choice. Cook for another 1/2 hour or until the chicken is cooked and the vegetables are hot.
