Recipes

Brown Rice, Grilled Chicken, and Broccoli

Start by cooking four cups of rice for about 45 minutes, or according to the package directions.  While the rice is cooking, heat a pan over medium heat, and add about a tablespoon or so to cook the chicken. Cook about 2 lbs of chicken seasoned with Mrs. Dash for about 10 minutes on each side or until it is cooked all the way through. Once the chicken is finished, steam about 2 pounds of chopped broccoli for about 4-5 minutes or until tender. Season with salt and pepper.  Separate each serving of the rice (about 1/2 cup cooked), chicken (one breast) and broccoli (about 1 cup chopped) into 4 separate containers, let cool and place in the fridge. Set aside the extra servings of each food to prepare into the other recipes.
