I had a pretty awesome holiday season. I am pretty sure I over-ate every single day, at every single meal. Like any good cliche, I am trying to do a 180 in the new year by eating right and actually putting some effort into exercising.
One reason is because it's good to be healthy and actually practice moderation. Moderation was not a word that was in my vocabulary the past two weeks and that's just not right.
Another reason is because I have a very important dress I will need to fit into in a couple of years. A wedding dress. I'm engaged! Squee!
To spare you the eye-rolling, "oh great another person I know getting married" misery, I'll just jump right into this tasty and super simple recipe.
This Coconut Lime Chicken with Green Beans saute is sweet and tangy. There are lots of great Thai flavors in this dish, making it the perfect alternative to take-out! I was inspired by a dish I saw Sandra Lee make on her show, "Semi-Homemade." Obviously I watched a lot of Food Network the past week and I am so glad I did--there were some yummy recipes happening last week!
If you need a quick meal that is really satisfying yet good for you, give this Coconut Lime Chicken a try. I used light coconut milk, low sodium soy sauce and chicken broth for the sauce. A little bit of Worcestershire sauce adds a boost of flavor. The lime is tart and tangy, while cilantro finishes the whole dish with a little brightness. Serve this over your rice of choice, and you've got a fantastic meal everyone is sure to love. Try cooking your rice in coconut water instead of regular water to really bring home the coconut flavor!
