I have tried a lot of different healthy recipes and would like to share a couple of my favorites with you. My first favorite recipe is Vegetarian Couscous Paella. The key ingredient to this dish is the couscous, which is made of ground semolina and can be found in the pasta isle of most supermarkets. The couscous replaces the rice in this traditional Spanish dish.
The ingredients for this dish include: 1 small red onion, 2 teaspoons bottled minced garlic, 1 1/2 cups of low-sodium chicken broth, 9 ounce package of frozen baby lima beans, 1 cup frozen no salt added peas, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1/8 teaspoon of powdered saffron, 1/8 teaspoon of ground red pepper, 1 chopped medium tomato, 1/4 cup fresh cilantro or parsley, and of course 1 cup of couscous. All ingredients are cooked in a large saucepan over a medium high heat. This dish has a preparation time of 10 minutes, cooking time of 15 minutes, and standing time of 5 minutes. It serves four and has a total of 293 calories per serving. This dish is one of my favorites because it takes simple ingredients and turns them into something delectable.
Another favorite recipe of mine is the Honey Roasted Chicken. The ingredients for this meal include: 2 pounds skinned chicken pieces (breast, thighs, and drumsticks), 1 cup honey, 1/2 cup reduced sodium teriyaki sauce, 1/4 cup orange juice, and 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard. My favorite part of this dish is the delicious tangy sauce that covers the chicken because it's made out of simple household ingredients.
