  • Terriyaki Chicken and Vegtables

    Someone suggested I post this recipe . . . so here it is. It is a bit of work, all the chopping and stuff ( however, for those of you who can afford it - you CAN buy all of these ingredients already chopped for you in the market ). I know it also seems like A LOT of carbs thrown in here -BUT, when I make this, I turn this one batch into 4 or 5 meals. I generally make all of the vegtables together - making sure to add up the carbs for every item . When time comes to eat . . . I quickly marinade a couple of chicken breasts, or some beef . . . even pork on occasion . . . and toss that in with the vegtables. I try to use more meat and less vegtables to keep the carb count down. You can feel free to remove any of the items that you do not like.

    Ingredients :

    Chicken breast, beef, or pork - cut into very thin strips

    Broccoli - a few florets
    Cauliflour - a few florets
    Bell Pepper - 1 whole - thin slices
    Onion - just a couple of slices
    Mushrooms - a couple sliced up
    Bean Sprouts - just a few
    Snow Peas - a few - I cut each on into 4 pieces
    Water chestnuts - one or two diced up
    bamboo shoots - one or two diced up
    Cilantro - couple of sprigs - finely chopped
    Olive Oil

    For the Sauce -

    1 cup of Soy Sauce - the brand I use has zero carbs - make sure you check the ingredients.
    1/2 stick of butter
    Ginger 1 Tablespoon
    Olive Oil - couple of tablespoons
    Just a couple of pinches of Splenda

    Add all 5 ingredients into a sauce pan . . . and heat slowly. Let it cook on low for a little bit, and will thicken a little. Put it to the side

    For the Vegtables -

    Add a little Olive oil to a skillet - heat it up a little, and add all of the vegtables. When they are just about done, toss in the Cilantro. Add all of the sauce to the pan . . . and continue to cook for a couple of minutes - it should thicken a little more. Turn off the heat . . .

    For the Meat : It is important to marinade the meat for this dish so that you can enhance the flavor. Cut the meat into thin strips, put into a bowl that you can seal - pour a couple of tablespoons of soysauce, and a couple of tablespoons of olive oil over it. Mix it until all surfaces of the meat are coated. Let marinade at least 30 minutes.

    In a skillet, add Olive oil, and get it nice and hot . . . toss in the chicken (beef / pork ) and do a quick saute of it. When it is done, put it in the center of the plate, and top with a cup of the vegtable mix. That's it .

    Be sure to count all of the carbs . . . and divide it by the number of portions you will make from this. I generally have about 6 - 8 carbs per portion. I try to use more of the vegtables that are allowed at the 2-3 cup range, and less of the 1 cup range.

    Happy Cooking ! :icondance

      That recipe looks GREAT!

      And I agree with you. If you aren't into chopping vegetables or don't have the time to do it yourself, most supermarkets in the US have salad bars and you can buy these veggies, pre-chopped.
