"People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing - that's why we recommend it daily." - Zig Ziglar
This meal was filled with lots of cilantro - it keeps coming up all over the place in the back yard & so I picked a huge mess of it - & it ended up in just about everything we had for dinner.
I know my mom & Aunt Karen would be lovin' this one!! :) (can't you just smell it already.....?!)
If you're lovin' the cilantro like they do, or if you just have a huge bunch you need to use up:), this one's for you. - Try it out & get your fix!
It's also really easy to whip up if you're tired & starving! Just grill up the chicken, throw the rice in the cooker & make up a green salad - voila!!
Cilantro Rice
-Makes enough rice for 3-4.
1. Cook rice in rice cooker according to directions - I used some white spanish rice.
2. Once the rice is cooked, stir in 1 Tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro, some olive oil & salt & pepper. I also added a little adobo for some extra seasoning (Experiment!).
Grilled Chicken
-This was enough for 2 ; use more chicken if you need to:)
My cooking partner whipped up the chicken, here's how he did it:
1. Get the grill ready. Marinate 1 sliced up chicken breast in some honey mustard dressing to coat. Add in 2 chopped garlic cloves and 1 Tbsp. chopped cilantro. Stir to coat everything. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes to soak in.
*You could also do the same process w/ tofu*
2. Once marinated, put it on the grill. Cook for about 10-15 minutes on each side until browned & cooked through.
Green Salad
1. In a large bowl, combine: a few handfuls of greens, 1-2 sliced carrots, 1 sliced avocado, broccoli sprouts and 1/2 chopped cucumber. Add dressing & Toss.
ENjoy!
Did you know that the Chinese believed cilantro was an aphrodisiac & produced immortality??
