Rice, Broccoli, Edamame, Black Bean, Chicken & Cheese Plate

Need a painless dinner? STOP! Don't reach for the Raman Noodles! I understand we all have long days, and sometimes when we get home and we're just so hungry we will eat anything as long as it's there and its quick. Well, I have the perfect alternative for that right here that won't leave you scraping the salt scum off your tongue for days.


It takes about 10 minutes, if that, and it is way more satisfying and nutritionally beneficial for you than any prepackaged frozen meal or can of 6 year old noodles (Eek). 
For me, there is nothing not to love about this dinner. It has some of my favorite vegetables, shredded cheese, and my preferred poultry. Broccoli topped with brown rice, shredded mozzarella cheese, and black beans with a side of edamame and chicken. 
Bring it on.




What You'll Need:
1 Chicken cutlet
3/4 Cup of frozen broccoli
1/2 Cup of brown rice
Handful of shredded cheese

2 Tbs of black beans
1/2 Cup of frozen edamame


Defrost your chicken and then using either a nonstick pan or a indoor grill (like a George Forman), grill your chicken cutlet. Place your broccoli in the microwave safe dish and cover the top and steam for about a minute and 45 seconds. After broccoli is finished place edamame in microwave and steam for a minute and 30 seconds. 
Once chicken is cooked through (no pink on the inside), remove from heat and let cool down on your plate. Cut up broccoli to how you like it and top with brown rice, shredded cheese, and black beans. Put the edamame on your plate aside your chicken and rice, and wa-la!
Quick, simple, tasty, and very healthy.



Enjoy you Skinny Minis!
