Healthy Chinese Food Approved by The Eat Clean Diet

Jake got home from California Friday night. Normally I am used to him going on rides, but this week was hard. I felt like a teenage girl waiting for her boyfriend to get home. He did bring me this really cute/funny t-shirt though; he had been telling me about Roscoe’s. Have you heard of it? They literally serve chicken and waffles…sounds like heaven if you’re a bit tipsy. What do you think?

I had time to catch up on magazines while he was gone, and I found a really good Healthy Chinese Food recipe in Oxygen! It will be featured in the meal plans I am working on because it’s so good!! I am used a little too much red pepper flakes this go around, but I now have the recipe down pat and close by for next time.

Healthy Chinese Food (From Oxygen Magazine)

4 Oz Chicken Breast
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp red pepper flakes
1 red bell pepper
1 tbsp low-sugar ketchup
1 tbsp spicy brown mustard
1 tbsp apricot jam (low sugar)

Prep:

1. Dice chicken into bite size pieces and season with garlic powder and red pepper flakes.
2. Set a skillet on medium-high heat and spray with a bit of cooking oil. Add chicken and cook through (6-8 minutes)
3. Slice red pepper and set aside. Mix the other ingredients together and once the chicken is cooked add to the skillet. Turn heat to low and cook 5 minutes.

I doubled my sauce. It would be really good over brown rice or noodles. I couldn’t believe how much it was like eating PF Changs frozen meals. Healthy Chinese food is so much better than all of that processed garbage too!
