Spicy Peanut Chicken Wrap for Lunch!

1-2 tbsp of Spicy Peanut Sauce (2 tbsp Peanut Butter, 1 tbsp jarred Red Hot Chili Sauce & 2 tbsp Soy sauce,  heated in microwave & mixed)
2 Poached Chicken Tenders
Scallions
Plum tomato slices
Caramelized Vidalia Onions (thinly sliced onions, sauteed with EVOO on low heat for 25-30 minutes)
1/2 Avocado (1/4 for wrap, 1/4 to mix with Cucumbers as a side dish)

Cucumber Lemon Water Recipe:  In a large pitcher of water squeeze juice from 1 Lemon, add Cucumber slices, and serve!  This is a great drink to make in the morning and just leave it on the counter for everyone to drink throughout the day.  It is refreshing, delicious and a healthful way to get hydrated on a hot summer day!

Red Thai Curry Veggie Blast!



Dinner: Red Thai Curry Veggie Blast!
1 tbsp EVOO
1 12 oz. bag of frozen mixed veggies:  Target's "Mediterranean Mix" (Green Beans, Yellow Carrots, Zucchini, Red Peppers)
1/2 cup of frozen Brussels Sprouts
1/2 cup Caramelized Onions
1/2 cup Pinto Beans
1/4 cup Toasted Almond Slices
1/4 cup Red Thai Curry Sauce
1/4 cup Chicken Broth, plus 2 more tbsp
White Wine


This is one of my fav super fast go-to meals when I want to maximize Veggies in a meal but not spend a lot of time cooking!

In a hot pan I simply add 1 tbsp EVOO & 1/4 cup of Chicken Broth with the all the frozen Veggies and cover until the veggies are heated through.  Once hot, I remove the lid and let the liquid reduce so the Veggies will cook in the oil and begin to brown.  Once a nice brown crust starts to form on the Veggies, I'll de-glaze the pan with a couple tbsp of Chicken Broth and add the Beans and the Curry sauce, mix in, and cover for 2 more minutes.  Then it is ready to serve and top with the caramelized onions and toasted Almonds!


I had 2 plates of this dish, it was really yummy!
