Easy, Healthy Dinner

There is nothing I love more than a simple, inexpensive, healthy dinner. It really doesn't get simpler than this. This recipe is kind of an obvious one, but we love it so much I wanted to share it any way.


Sweet & Sour Chicken Bowl


chicken breast (however much you want)
brown rice
brocolli
pineapple tidbits
sweet & sour sauce (we love this kind - plus it is only $2)










optional:
onion
peppers


Cut up chicken into cubes and cook in frying pan with olive oil. Meanwhile, cook rice on stove or in rice cooker. Steam brocolli and cook whatever other veggies you want to add in. Put rice in bowl, add chicken, brocolli, pineapple, and other veggies and pour on sauce. Voila! That's it.

**Tip for buying chicken: buying organic or all natural chicken really is more economical. Have you ever noticed how regular chicken seems to shrink when you cook it? It is because regular chicken is generally smaller because they don't let the chickens grow to full size before they kill them so they end up pumping it with saline to make it appear bigger. I noticed this on my own and then had it confirmed when Jared worked for Winder Farms and they used it as a selling point for their organic chicken. Not to mention it tastes better and you can feel better when you eat your chicken knowing that was treated well!
