Orange Soy Chicken & Broccoli over Quinoa
Friday, March 22, 2013From our skinny table to yours...
It's finally Friday :) After a long week it's super easy to reach for the take-out menus. We're craving Chinese but know that the typical dish at most Chinese restaurants come in around 1,000 calories! That is not how we plan on ending our week of healthy eating. Let's all start and end on a good note together. Here's the icing on the cake, from start to finish this dish will come together in under 30 minutes! How fabulous!
Tonight's recipe re-do comes from our favorite Chinese dish, Chicken & Broccoli! We are kicking the typical fried rice to the curb and replacing it with the super grain Quinoa! If you haven't tried this yet you are missing out on a wonderfully delicious high protein, high fiber and vitamin rich grain. Don't knock it until you try it! We cooked our quinoa up in sodium free chicken stock to give it some extra flavor. Next we whipped up our Orange Soy Sauce. This is made by simply whipping up low-sodium soy sauce, freshly squeezed oranges, orange zest, fresh ginger and fresh garlic. Simple and delicious!
You will be eating this delicious meal in less than 30 minutes flat! That's less time it's going to take for the delivery to arrive. It's a no brainer right there, and we haven't even told you the calorie count yet...
