Tasty Thursday: Tropical Chicken Medley
Ingredients:
7 oz raw, boneless, skinless chicken strips (should yield 6 oz cooked)
1 cup raw broccoli, chopped
1/2 cup red bell pepper, chopped
1/2 cup yellow bell pepper, chopped
2 tbsp Newman's Own Lighten Up Light Lime Vinaigrette
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp Mrs. Dash Garlic and Herb Seasoning Blend
Non-stick Cooking Spray

Directions:
Coat chicken strips with vinaigrette. Sprinkle Mrs. Dash seasoning and onion powder on chicken strips. Let marinate for at least 1 to 2 hours.
Spray a pan with nonstick cooking spray for 5 to 10 seconds; saute peppers and broccoli until al dente (tender-crisp). While cooking peppers, frequently add a little water so they do not burn. Set aside. Add chicken to pan and cook until no longer pink. When chicken is done, combine with peppers and broccoli and mix well.

I am glad this doctor is raising awareness to Diabetes and TB, but this is so typical of the medical community, thinking that a medicine is the "cure all" to the epidemic. She never once mentions diet or exercise. Studies show a direct correlation between obesity and ailments such as Diabetes. Exercise is VERY important but Nutrition is the MOST important factor to your health! We have to teach everyone how to refuel so we can stop this!
