MorROCKIN Chicken

This dish is seriously yummy. Super quick and easy to make. It may appear bland but I PROMISE it is anything but.

Ingredients:

2 Chicken Breasts

1 Teaspoon of Paprika

1 Teaspoon of Ground Cumin

1 Teaspoon of Garlic Powder

1 Teaspoon of Cinnamon 

1 Teaspoon of Ground Ginger

1 Teaspoon of Ground Coriander

1/2 Cup of Stock (I used chicken)

1/4 Cup of Honey

2 Teaspoon of Molasses

1 Medium lemon (zest and lemon)

Cooking Instructions:

1. Start by creating the marinade. I like to let my chicken marinade over night but a few hours will work as well. 

2. When you are ready to cook your chicken, preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

3.  Cook the chicken in foil with the marinade for about 15 minutes. (Make sure to check to see if the chicken is full cooked - it should not be pink on the inside).

4. After the chicken is fully cooked, enjoy! It comes out moist and delicious. The cinnamon has a really interesting effect on the taste - very unique but tasty. 

This dish would be great with a number of different side dishes such as roasted broccoli or broccolini.

Addictive Beef and Broccoli Pasta

I practically worship this dish - it is SO delicious! I have already made this dish multiple times and it is amazing every time. People have told me that I should open a restaurant and put this dish on the menu. My boyfriend has made this dish for his roommates and they LOVED it.

Ingredients:
2 heads of broccoli
Beef (I use flank steak)
Pasta (I use gluten free rice noodles)
2 Tablespoons of Red Wine Vinegar
3 Teaspoons of Minced Garlic
1/4 Cup of Honey
1/4 Cup of Soy Sauce (I use gluten free)
1/4 Cup of Vegetable oil
1 Tablespoon of Parsley
3 Tablespoons of Cornstarch
2 Tablespoons of Sesame Oil
1/3 Cup of Brown Sugar
1/2 Teaspoon of Grated Ginger
1 Cup of Broth (I use chicken but Beef would work as well)

Cooking Instructions:

1. Start by making the marinade for the beef. Add the red wine vinegar, honey, garlic, soy sauce, parsley, sesame oil, cornstarch, ginger, and brown sugar.

2. Cut up the beef into small bite size pieces.

3. Place the beef in the marinade and into a plastic baggie. I typically marinade the beef over night.

4. The next day. I start by pre-heating the oven to 425 degrees.

5. Cut the broccoli into small pieces. Toss the broccoli in some olive oil (or in my case avocado oil), garlic powder, and paprika.

6. Put the broccoli on a sheet pan and place in the oven for 15 minutes. I like my broccoli to be somewhat brown and crispy.

7. While the broccoli is cooking, start boiling the water for the pasta.

8. Once the water is boiling, place the pasta into the water and cook for about 13 minutes or until the pasta is cooked to your liking.

9. Also, while the broccoli is cooking, I cook the beef in a pan. Make sure to save the sauce!

10. After the noodles are done cooking, put them back in the pot and pour in the sauce. Make sure the sauce is all over the noodles.

11. After the sauce has been well incorporated, add the broccoli and the beef.

12. ENJOYYYYY!!!!

I seriously think about this dish all the time - it is so yummy! So when I make it, I always make sure to make extras for lunches for the next few days!
