I am so excited to start sharing some yummy recipes with you guys again! Today I want to share with you my chicken prep 3 ways! I love bulk prepping my chicken because it saves me so much time during the week and when I mix it up with different spices it makes for a more interesting selection during the week! This way my kids don't get too bored or used to one flavor or they can have an option to choose from! Today's 3 ways to prep your chicken will include Indian Inspired "Yellow" Chicken, Spicy Lime, and Lemon Pepper & Garlic! Before we get into the recipes lets take a look at the awesome benefits some of the spices provide! Who here likes garlic?
Garlic is my favorite spice. The key is to crush it and allow it to sit for about 5-10 minute so it releases its amazing property called allicin (you know that chemical that gives it the smell.) This provides many anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits for your body. Turmeric is another great anti-inflammatory. I recently learned that if you toast turmeric slightly before using it releases more of its great properties too! Turmeric contains curcumin which is a natural anti-inflammatory compound. You could also use turmeric as a natural food dye for yellow! Lemons are sour but provide a great source of Vitamin C, they add a tang to your meals or a boost to your water! Lemon is a natural antioxidant; antioxidants help remove free radicals from our body. It is a great essential oil to diffuse to the smell as well as properties. Plus its a great cleaner - natural degreaser anyone? Now onto the yummies!
