Quick, easy dinners are my favorite; especially because I tend to cook most of my meals in the mornings before I have to be at work. This chicken stir-fry dish is tasty, healthy and simple to make! Plus, this recipe is great for two, with plenty for leftovers! Happy cooking!
Ingredients:
- 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced into bite-sized pieces
- 1 white onion, diced
- 1 green pepper, diced
- 1 red pepper, diced
- 2 tablespoons of chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons of cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon of orange juice, no pulp
- 1 teaspoon of ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1 bag of brown or white rice
Add the olive oil to a skillet over medium heat, then add in the chicken and sauté for four minutes. Remove the chicken, and add in the onion. Once the onion is translucent, add in the peppers. Cook the peppers and onion for three minutes before adding the chicken back in.
In a bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, soy sauce, rice vinegar, cornstarch, orange juice, ground ginger, black pepper and salt. Once combined, pour over the chicken, peppers and onion. Continue to cook for eight more minutes.
In the meantime, cook one bag of brown or white rice, depending on your preference, and add it to the stir-fry once it’s done. Mix everything together, and enjoy!
Ingredients
While the asparagus is cooking, mix the dijon mustard and lemon juice together in a small bowl. Pour this mixture, along with the chicken broth, into the skillet over the asparagus. Sprinkle in the parsley flakes.
When it comes to melting chocolate, my mom and I have found that melting a handful or two of the chocolate melts at a time in the microwave is the fastest and most efficient way to work. We start by microwaving the chocolate in a small bowl for 30 seconds. We then stir the chocolate, and put it in for another 15 seconds. We repeat the stirring process and continue melting the chocolate for seconds at a time until it has a nice, smooth consistency. Every microwave is different, so be careful when heating the chocolate. If you overheat the chocolate, it will burn.
Once that is complete, place the molds into the freezer for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes are up, remove the molds from the freezer and turn the molds over to remove the Oreos. Lightly pressing on the mold should release the Oreos easily. Place them on wax paper for decorating.
I am all about fast, easy and healthy meals during the week, and this recipe for cilantro lime shrimp tacos checks all of those boxes. Try this recipe for your next Taco Tuesday!
While the shrimp is cooking, put the Greek yogurt into a bowl and combine it with the juice of half of a lime, a handful of chopped cilantro and a few dashes of cayenne pepper. Mix all of the ingredients together, and add more lime, cilantro or cayenne pepper if you feel necessary.
To assemble the shrimp tacos, lay out a tortilla, add the Greek yogurt mixture and top with some shrimp. Feel free to add in any other healthy toppings you may like, such as shredded lettuce, tomatoes or avocado.
