Hey Needto, whats your thoughts on a dish like this. Would this be ok for the occasional dinner.
Paella Spanish Chicken
1/2 cup of olive oil
3 lbs of chicken (boneless) ***cut into small chunks
1 clove of fresh garlic ***using garlic powder instead
Why? you can buy diced fresh garlic in olive oil. Lots of times even garlic powder has salt in it. Just enough so they do not have to put it on the label.
1/2 cup of chopped onion (use a sweet onion like a vadala)
1 chopped green pepper
1 large can of diced tomatoes <--- use your own fresh diced. dice up like 3 and then blen one into juice. This has a lot les crap in it and it will even tast better
2 cups of chicken broth ***using low sodium broth
You can make your own with no salt at all, but this works.
1 cup of rice (brown rice I hope)
1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon of salt
1 pinch of Saffron
Heat oil and brown chicken. Remove chicken from pan. Put garlic, chopped onions and peppers in pan until onions are golden. Then put chicken back in and add cayenne pepper, fry for approx. 15 minutes. Add tomatoes and broth and bring to a boil. Next add rice and seasonings, cover and simmer over low heat until chicken and rice are tender and all liquids are absorbed (approx. 20 mins).
You can use the brown rice. sub out some of the rice for some black beans to if you like. This will add more protein and make the meail that much more healthy too.
****This shit is the fucking bomb!
