Part of the reason so many people eat out, is they think cooking has to be tough. Here is a simple recipe for a stir fry that you can make in 30 minutes.
What You’ll Need:
- Chicken
- Green Pepper
- Onion
- Meat Rub
- Coconut Oil
- Carrots
- Zucchini
- Low Sodium Soy Sauce
- Sriracha
Optional for side salad:
- Romaine
- Low Fat Feta
- Tomato
- Cucumber
- Left Over Dressing from Greek Salads
If you can marinate your chicken an hour or 2 before with melted coconut oil mixed with your meat rub. Set aside and let sit in the refrigerator.
Saute Carrots, Green Pepper, Onion in wok with a teaspoon of coconut oil.
Add the soy and sriarcha when the veggies start to soften.
Add Chicken and finally Zucchini.
Chop Romaine, Tomato, Cucumber and place in bowl with low fat feta.
Ta da, a dinner ready in less than thirty minutes! Real food is always better than takeout!
I made almost the same meal a few days ago in an even more time-saving way – with the crock pot! Which was an extra bonus b/c I could prepare it in the afternoon and then it was waiting for me when I got home from my Sunday evening yoga. 🙂
I put chicken at the bottom of the crock pot, then layered with sliced red onion, green pepper, yellow & green zucchini, and fresh heirloom tomatoes. Sprinkle with italian seasoning, pepper & sea salt. Cool for high on 1 hour, then low 4-5 hours and voila! And I totally made up the recipe based on the veggies I had on hand.
I love my crock pot! I don’t use it as much in the summer though. You can expect some recipes from that for sure this winter!! I agree, there is nothing better than a crock pot meal after yoga! (and I’m a huge fan of the everything but the sink cooking method!–Don’t let those veggies go bad!)
Totally! And I hadn’t used my crock pot for 6 months or so, but it was the kickoff day of the NFL season and fall is in the air in New England!
Well that’s just a MUST then!! Tom has Tom Brady as his fantasy quarterback! 😉
