Leftover cooking - Making a healthy meal before traveling to London! Rice with lemon-garlic chicken with peppers and spinach.
It's the day before Bianca and I travel to London to visit our friends @ezzy and @rea.
Normally I'm pretty anxious about traveling.
(I wrote about this before....I'm not the greatest at leaving)
But this time is different.
This time I don't have to go to the airport and struggle to get there on time.
I'm going by train!
All I have to do is get to Central Station Rotterdam 30 minutes before the train leaves and that's easy!
You can also bring all the food and drinks that you want on board.
Fantastic!
Tonight we decided to eat all the leftovers in the fridge.
I hate to waste food in general.
I managed to make a pretty decent meal with what I found.
Rice with lemon garlic chicken with peppers and spinach.
Ingredients: Red peppers, bell peppers, bacon, spring onions, 1 lime, rice, 2 chicken breasts, wok paste and a half a bag of Spinach. Not a bad leftover yield!
As usual prep all your stuff before you start cooking. Cut all the vegetables and the chicken.
Since Bianca ( @bkdbkd) thought me how to make rice the Brasilian way I don't make it any other way anymore. Put oil in a pan and fry some garlic then add the rice and fry for 2 minutes. Also, add salt.
Now add the water to just under and let it simmer. The rice will slowly absorb all the water add more if you need to.
Get a wok and heat it up then add oil.
Add the bacon and fry. When it's a bit crispy add the chicken. Fry until it has a nice color.
Time to add the vegetables. First all the peppers.
Then add the spinach. It will shrink in seconds.
Add the lime (just squeeze it by hand) and the wok paste.
Yes! It's starting look like something I would like to eat! I added the spring onions and stirred all for 2 minutes.
End Result! Great taste. Not bad at all for leftovers! I did also find some salad. Decided to eat that too. If last time London is anything to go on it won't be the most healthy experience :)

Not that great with the workouts atm. After London is my queue to start again.
