Easy Chicken and Vegetables
A healthy recipe that is easy to prepare, and healthy, too!
Ingredients:
- 2 boneless chicken breasts, cut in half
- 1 Tbs coconut oil
- 1 Tbs minced garlic
- 1 chopped onion
- red pepper slices
- zucchini squash cubed
- sun gold cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 Tbs fresh herbs (I used tarragon, thyme, and rosemary)
- organic chicken broth
- Saute the chicken in the coconut oil until lightly browned on both sides.
- Add the garlic and onions and continue to cook until onions are clear.
- Add the other vegetables, and pour the chicken broth over the entire pan.
- Sprinkle on fresh herbs: use what ever you have on hand that you like. If you don’t have fresh herbs, decrease to 2 tsp dried.
- Cover and simmer at a reduced temperature for 20-30 minutes, or until the chicken is tender.
I serve this over quinoa, but you could use brown rice.
I hope you enjoy this! There are more recipes at my website. Live Well!
Robin

I was just conversing on facebook related to the concerns about including soy (unless it's a fermented form) in the diet, but for those who chose to eat tofu, this would be a good tofu recipe I think. I'd likely throw in some fresh or frozen spinach as well.
I wanted to talk a little bit about simplifying cooking. For those who are chronically WELL, doing all that is entailed to eat well and get your nutrition from your foods is a BIG job and what I call 'whelming', but not 'overwhelming'. Some people's primary leisure activity is cooking, other's it is NOT. And for those with a chronic illness which affects endurance and strength, cooking can actually be VERY difficult activity of daily living, to use the 'medical' term. (Abbreviated ADL or ADLs).
If I'm not getting red peppers from a garden as it is growing season, I purchase roasted red bell peppers in a jar, though not organic as that's not an option at the big warehousy place I buy some things. Then I focus my consumer $s on organics on things that I think matter the most, which is meats and anything dairy, including butter, IF I go outside my norm of reducing dairy due to food allergy. See 'note' below about food allergies.
This also would be good with broccoli or a lot of different vegetables. I must be hungry, I'm wanting to throw all kinds of things into the pot!
Thanks, Robin, you definitely chose some nice recipes and this one is really EASY, as the title says, and that is key for people with low energy, pain, or TIME shortages due to busy lives. ~~ Mardy

Always happy to contribute, Mardy. What I love about this recipe is that you can choose any vegetables and herbs you like, or that are fresh and in season. Of course, if it is winter, and fresh veggies are not locally available, I will use frozen veggies, including spinach or broccoli.
The point is to eat healthy, without the stress of long and involved recipes.
Live Well!
