Teriyaki Chicken & Green Beans Amandine



Okay, I'm sure you're all sick of soup and soup-related dishes by now! Let's break out into something slightly more exciting!

This was probably the most complex dinner I've made so far, complexity being measured by number of dishes to clean afterward, number of steps to juggle all at once, and number of cuss words used in the process. Well, I take that back...the dinner I made tonight [read: the entry for tomorrow, as I post these on a day after basis] *probably* suffered more profanity - details tomorrow.

The chicken is baked in homemade teriyaki sauce and sesame seeds, and the peppers are sauteed in the sauce and served over brown rice. I also sauteed a bag of green beans in butter and almonds. Mmmmm....

This is a pretty healthy dish. Chicken is one of the leanest of meats, and brown rice is always a good choice over white rice. We got plenty of veggies, and the almonds added a lot of life-preserving bonuses! They are loaded with vitamin E, which is an antioxidant that fights cancer, and they also have been known to lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart attacks! They also contain plenty of other goodies, including calcium, folic acid, magnesium, phosphorus, and zinc! Plus, they are delicious!
