Recipe #1

Tonight I cooked sweet chili chicken with BBQ asparagus. I also cook Quinoa (if you have never heard of it it is a type of grain that has more protein than brown rice).
**All ingredients are from Trader Joes**

Ingredients:
Organic Quinoa
4 cups of chicken broth
2-3 boneless, skinless chicken breast
4 Tbsp olive oil
1 small onion, thinly sliced
1 red bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
5 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
20 leaves fresh sweet basil, julienne
Parmesan cheese, grated
salt and pepper, to taste
asparagus
steak seasoning
garlic salt
Portuguese bread

First things first!!
2 cups of Quinoa
prepared with chicken stock
4 cups of chicken broth
If you have a rice cooker that is going to be the best way to cook the Quinoa.
Start that first cuz it takes the longest!
Secondly:
Preheat over at 375
Put 2-3 chicken breast (depending on if your feeding athletes.. tend to eat more) in a glass dish
Make sure to spray the pan with olive oil spray
Coat the top of eat chicken breast with red chili flakes and group pepper
Poor an entire bottle of sweet chili sauce over the chicken breast
Bake until chicken is cooked all the way through
Thirdly:
Put onion, bell peppers; saute for 1 or 2 minutes; add garlic and saute until peppers become slightly limp, but still bright, about 1 or 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove the pan from heat; add basil and quinoa. Toss until basil wilts. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese before serving.
Fourthly:
BBQ the asparagus on low heat. Coat asparagus with olive oil, steak seasoning and garlic salt. BBQ until crispy, BUT not burnt!
Fifthly:
Slice the bread and spread butter on each slice. Place in the oven for about 15 minutes (just as the chicken is finishing).
















Hope your turns out as good as mine does. If you have any questions or something does not make sense please feel free to twitter me or facebook me and I will explain. Now make sure you check on the asparagus because I forgot about mine tonight and burned all but 5 of them... LOL those barely made it.
