Was looking for a combo of ingredients I had on hand and would be good during my follicular phase (after my period)
➡️ chicken for protein needed after workouts
➡️ rice for carbs and energy
➡️ Brussel sprouts a cruciferous veggie that helps the liver process excess estrogen
For two servings:
10oz diced boneless skinless chicken
1oz sweet thai chili sauce
4tbs soy glaze (mixture of sesame oil, soy sauce)
1 cup of rice
6oz brussel sprouts
Cut and half brussel sprouts, put face down in air fryer - air fry, 8-10 minutes.
In a small pot, combine rice, 3⁄4 cup water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender.
Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken. Cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes. Add 1⁄4 cup water, sweet soy glaze, and chili sauce to pan. Cook, stirring constantly, until sauce has thickened, 1-2 minutes.
