We love a good, fresh, Asian-inspired dish in our house. Bonus points when the recipe includes a bunch of fresh veggies! This specific meal boasts over 40 grams of protein per serving and is a great addition to your summer meal list.

Serves 2

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups cabbage, chopped

• 2/3 cup carrots, grated

• 8 oz chicken breast (ground or chopped)

• 1 Tbsp tamari sauce

• 1 cup cauliflower, chopped

• 2 Tbsp olive oil

• 3 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds

• 3 garlic cloves, minced

• 2 scallions, chopped

• Optional: turmeric and crushed red pepper flakes

Instructions

1. Chop all vegetables and the chicken (if not ground).

2. In a large pan, heat olive oil (or coconut oil) at medium-high heat; sauté the 2 cloves of garlic for 30 seconds, then add the carrots, chicken and the cauliflower. Sauté everything for 4-5 minutes (until the chicken is nearly done).

3. Add in the cabbage, stir in the tamari sauce and the other garlic clove. Cover with a lid and cook for 4-5 more minutes or until the chicken is done and carrots aren't too hard. Optionally, you can also add some turmeric and crushed red pepper flakes.

4. Serve with toasted sesame seeds and scallions over rice or on its own.
