Warm Asparagus & Chicken Salad {dinner ideas}
Currently the hubby and I are trying to cut down on our carbs (well, he is, I on the other hand have had my fair share of bread, donuts, and cookies in the past few days), so as of lately, most of my dinners simply include lots of veggies and a protein, which is either chicken, ground turkey, or fish. The other day I put together this dish that consists of: baked chicken, thinly sliced tomatoes, potatoes(cut into small squares), asparagus, white corn, and sweet green peas. I just sauteed the potatoes until they were tender and then added in the remaining veggies. I cooked them in a bit of olive oil, water, and butter until the asparagus turned a bright green and lightly seasoned them with salt, yellow curry powder, and a dash of garlic powder.
The chicken is seasoned with: salt, pepper, coriander, yellow curry powder, brown sugar, a dash of allspice, ginger, and Hungarian paprika. This is by far one of my favorite meals and it was so easy to fix. I think I am most successful with dishes that are light, colorful, quick, and layered with spices! You should definitely give it a try with your own twist! We drizzled some balsamic vinegar on top to add a little kick to it!

This looks devine. I hear you with the carbs. I’m trying really hard to keep my sweet tooth in check. I got lots of fresh organic strawberries and blueberries to munch on!
