A Typical Thorpe Dinner...
This is a family favorite! I thought I would share this Super Healthy Yummy Meal... I will kinda explain why as I go along.
What You Will Need...
2 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
2 small bags of Fresh Broccoli Florets
4 handfuls of Fresh Basil
Coconut Oil
Sea Salt
4 Cloves of Garlic
Paremesan Cheese
1 Box of Shell Quinoa
1 Jar of your favorite Alfredo Sauce
Directions...
1. Steam your Broccoli
(obviously this a no brainer on your stove is healthier than your microwave)
2. Cut up your Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts. Take 2 handfuls of Fresh Basil & chop up fairly big. Also chop up your Garlic. Place all in a mixing bowl.
(To Press or not to Press... that is the Question. I do not press my Garlic! I prefer to Chop it up with a small knife. Garlic is a Power-food. When you press it, all of the juices come out... which helps make it so healthy! And gives more flavor!)
3. Warm your Skillet on Medium Heat. Take 2 (smaller) spoonfuls of coconut oil and wait until it melts. Then carefully pour into your Mixing Bowl. Add desired amount of Sea Salt. Mix all together. Then pour into Skillet. The chicken should turn into a light brown.
(Seriously makes the most Moist stove top Chicken! We do this to Our Chicken for Salads as well!! As far as cooking with Coconut Oil.. I can seriously write a post on this alone! Just google or pinterest it)
4.While your Chicken is cooking. Boil , Cook, & Drain your Quinoa. (I prefer the Ancient Harvest Brand; Quinoa is a Protein based Pasta & Gluten Free!! It will make you feel light instead of so heavy in your stomach)
5. Add your Skillet to your Pot of Quinoa. Finely chop up the remainder of your Basil & add freshly grated Parmesan. Add your favorite kind of Alfredo Sauce or Pesto Sauce. Mix well. And Serve Warm! YUM!!
Enjoy!!
