I can’t believe that it has been over 100 days since I began my clean eating journey. First of all, I am so proud that I have been able to stick with my journey this long! I know I’ve been slacking on the posts lately, but this blog is still without a doubt one of the major reasons I have kept going. The last few weeks have been hard for me for a few different reasons, reasons that aren’t really related to clean eating. What have I have noticed over the past few weeks is that when I am not updating this blog faithfully, it is easier for me to fall completely off the band wagon. I don’t know why that is but I do know that this journey has really made a positive impact on me and I am not about to throw it all away. As I sort out some of the personal things happening in my life and try to prioritize all my projects, I WILL continue to make clean eating the #1 priority (okay maybe #2, because lets face it…. the cute husband comes first). This means that I will keep sharing my journey because sharing my experiences has really kept me going so far. Please bare with me over the next few weeks as I get back into the swing of things:).
With that said, one of the items on my clean eating camping menu was Honey Lime Chicken. I decided to make it again tonight but this time with a twist. A stir fry twist.
Honey Lime Stir Fry
- 1 lb. chicken breast cut into strips
- 1/2 small cabbage sliced into thin strips
- 1 cup snow peas
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 large red bell pepper cut into small strips
- 1 small can of water chestnuts
- The juice of 2 limes
- 1/4 cup reduced sodium soy sauce
- 1 Tbs. honey
- 5 garlic cloves, minced
- Fresh grated ginger
- 1Tbs. coconut oil
- Brown Rice or Quinoa
Directions:
In a medium size bowl whisk together lime juice, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and fresh ginger. Add your cut chicken to your sauce mixture and set aside. Rinse and cut all of your vegetables. Next, heat a wok over medium heat and add coconut oil to the pan. Add your vegetables and let cook for about 2 minutes. Next add about 1/4 cup of water and let your vegetables simmer for another 2 minutes. Next, add your chicken and the remaining sauce to your wok. Continue to cook over medium heat until your chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes. Serve stir fry with brown rice or quinoa and enjoy.
