Grilled Chicken and Broccoli Stirfry
--Yah, that's the way I spell it. Only the cool people spell stirfry as oneword. :) --
We at the Wagner household have been contemplating a diet/lifestyle shift for awhile now. Yep, contemplating instead of acting mostly because the cook had a stinky attitude about the idea. The hubs has those pesky allergies due to many things, one of them being wheat. . . boo; although, he eats it anyway. We have talked many times about going gluten-free or maybe begin following the Paleo diet plan. With the toddler we are getting dangerously close to the PB&J/Mac&Cheese/Banana diet, so before it is too late and we were eating a plate of chicken nuggets and diced peaches, we decided to run a trial test week called, "We-won't-eat-carbs-at-dinner-for-a-week-but-not-at-snacks-or-breakfast-because-that-will-come-with-time." We have officially made it all week with no problems, minus that pesky day I decided to make homemade pop-tarts. They were REALLY good. We have been walking EVERYWHERE since moving to South Korea, so I am starving all the time and I really don't care to eat THAT much meat, yep, I said it. I don't really LOVE meat, but I do love carbs. :) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paleolithic_diet)
The following recipe is one that we enjoyed tonight. I hope it will provide inspiration to anyone who would like to dispense of some of the "gunk" in their life.
Ingredients
2-4 small chicken breasts, grilled and seasoned
1 bag of broccoli slaw
1/2 small purple onion
Several mushrooms of any variety
1 TBS Vinegar
1 tsp Soy Sauce
1 TBS Fish Sauce -- if that is your thing, if not, omit.
1 clove of garlic or equivalent of jarred
A drizzle of Olive Oil
1 Lemon
Now that we live in an apartment in South Korea, this is how the grilling gets done. Grill pan baby!
I have always wanted to take a chopped veggie picture like all the cool bloggers.
When in Asia, cook with Asian products. (Maybe not again.)
Sauté until bright in color, but not cooked through, a little crunch is GOOD!
There I go with my Asian products again.
LEMON makes EVERYTHING delightful and bright.
She is dangerously close to that dreaded toddler diet and even she liked this. . .
Ok, MAYBE not so much.
Please ignore my cluttered countertop. I like junk. And dishes. And fake plants.
