How to make Say Bye To Thigh Fat Fast!!
Ingredients:
- 1 pound of lean chicken breast, diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 cup carrots, sliced
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (optional)
- 2 cups cooked quinoa or brown rice
Directions:
- Prep the ingredients: Start by washing and cutting all your vegetables: broccoli, carrots, and bell pepper. Dice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces.
- Marinate the chicken: In a large bowl, add the diced chicken, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Stir well to ensure the chicken pieces are evenly coated with the marinade. If you’re using soy sauce, add it as well. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Cook the chicken: Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the chicken is browned and cooked through. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Add the vegetables: After the chicken is cooked, add the broccoli, carrots, and bell pepper to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for another 5-6 minutes. You want the vegetables to be tender but still crunchy.
- Serve with quinoa or brown rice: Once everything is cooked, serve the chicken and veggies over a bed of cooked quinoa or brown rice. This adds healthy carbohydrates and keeps you full longer.
- Garnish (optional): You can add some fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro on top or a sprinkle of sesame seeds for added flavor and texture.
