Steak Stir-Fry

My family loves stir-fry and the more veggies I can add in, the better! Here is the recipe for the stir-fry I posted in my health groups last night! This is a semi-homemade kinda dish, an easy quick weeknight supper!

Ingredients:
1 lb. stir-fry sliced beef (steak)
1 package frozen stir-fry mix
1 can sliced water chestnuts
1 can Chinese mixed veggies (sprouts/corn/carrots)
2 tbsp sesame oil
1 1/2 tsp sirrachi (chili paste)
3 tbsp Bragg's amino acids (soy sauce alternative)
2 tsp real all natural honey
1 tsp ginger
1 tbsp garlic
1 tbsp onion
Brown Rice

Directions:
1. Sauté beef in 1 tbsp sesame oil until cooked through, remove from pan and place in covered bowl
2. Sauté stir-fry mixture, water chestnuts, and mixed veggies in remaining sesame oil. Once cooked through, mix in sirrachi, amino acids, honey, ginger, garlic, and onion.
3. Cook rice according to package, serve stir-fry over rice.

Awesome slightly sweet and spicy dish!

Chicken Caprese

This was the delicious low carb meal my family enjoyed tonight!

Chicken Caprese

Ingredients:
4 chicken breasts
2 cups cherry or chunked Roma tomatoes
3 tbsp fresh minced garlic
4 tbsp Italian seasoning mix
2 tbsp Olive oil
4 tbsp balsamic vinegar
Salt & pepper
Bunch fresh basil
2 slices fresh mozzarella 





Drizzle one tbsp Olive oil in pan (I used a panini pan), sprinkle breast with 2 tbsp. Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cover and cook, turning part way through, until cooked through. Drizzle with 2 tbsp. balsamic vinegar, cover, and let sit 10 min.






While the chicken is cooking, preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place tomatoes, minced garlic, remaining italian seasoning mix, remaining olive oil and balsamic vinegar in a pyrex dish. Bake until tomatoes are tender, approximately 15 minutes. 



I suggest serving in a bowl, you wouldn't want to miss any of the delicious sauce that is drizzled over the chicken! Place chicken in the bowl, sprinkle top with fresh basil, place 1/2 slice fresh mozzarella on top, then spoon tomato mixture over top. Garnish with remaining basil and serve!!






I served this with a beautiful big salad and voila! Delizioso!
