Tonight starts the first night in our new healthy-eating plan. Learn to love, right?!?! We will be having some chicken, veggies and a salad tonight. I'm also trying to incorporate some new sauces/dressings into our menu that are a lot healthier.....I'll let ya know what they are and where I got 'em ;) Tonight, I bring you....Asian Chicken :)
Asian Chicken
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
4 T Tamari Sauce (this is a gluten-free soy sauce, found in the health food section of the store. You can also use plain-old soy sauce)
1 T fresh ginger, minced
10-12 asparagus spears, with about 2-3" chopped off the bottom stem (this is the tough part that you don't want to eat)
Salad for tonight: Spring Mix lettuce, w/ green peppers and cucumbers. I've started using Walden Foods dressing; it is also found in the health-food section. It's got less fat and calories and tastes yummy!!!
2 cups hot, cooked rice--we won't be dining w/ this, but feel free to add it :)
Heat grill to med-high heat. Salt and pepper chicken breasts and pour a little bit of oil over them, to keep from sticking. Place in ziploc and add ginger. Marinate for 30 min. Grill 3-4 min per side. Turn grill to low and coat w/ Tamari sauce. Let sit for a few minutes, to let the sauce soak into the chicken.
While the chicken is cooking, coat the asparagus in salt and a little Olive Oil. Grill alongside chicken, 8-10 minutes. Watch carefully--it burns easily!!! Serve chicken (over rice, if preferred), along w/ asparagus and salad. It's a perfect, summery dinner to enjoy outside :)
