I'm trying oh-so-hard to find a million ways to incorporate broccoli into dinner without just having plain '30-second-steamed' broccoli on the side of most meals. This turned out pretty good!
As a sidenote - I have a photographic memory, so sometimes I see a recipe and then remember the key ingredients or whatever, then incorporate those ingredients into what I believe to be my own creation. So whilst I think I'm being totally original (or not... someone out there has pretty much combined every pairable ingredient possible!), I may have been unknowingly inspired by someone else. We're all Masterchefs in here though. ;)
Served myself and Spawn, with enough leftovers for both of us to have again for lunch tomorrow!
INGREDIENTS:
1kg chicken breast, diced bite-size
1 medium brown onion, finely diced
250g mushrooms, sliced
1 lemon
300g broccoli, steamed (I steam for about a minute - just so it's more vibrant and heated)
1 tspn ground cumin
1 tspn dried basil
1 tspn dried oregano
Salt & pepper, to season
METHOD:
Heat large frying pan over medium heat and add oil/fat of choice.
Add onion and mushroom and cook until starting to soften, then add chicken and mix well.
Once chicken is just about cooked, add cumin, oregano, basil, juice of lemon, and broccoli. Mix around and then add salt and pepper to taste, and more oil/fat if needed. Test to ensure chicken is seasoned to your liking - if not, add more salt/pepper/herbs/lemon, then stir and serve!
I served this meal with brown rice, but would be great with cauliflower rice or mash as well.
Enjoy!
