🍱 Healthy 15-Minute Dinner Hack for Busy Families 🍱
Even when you’re running late, you can still serve a wholesome, home-style dinner, in under 15 minutes and for under $15 for the whole family! 💪🏽
✨ Tonight’s quick fix: Trader Joe’s Frozen Teriyaki Chicken & Beef with Broccoli. with a few lifestyle medicine approved tweaks.
🧡 How I do it:
1️⃣ Skip the sauce packs, they’re usually too salty or sweet.
2️⃣ Heat a bit of olive oil in two pans, add chicken in one, beef in the other.
3️⃣ Add 2 tbsp water to each, cover to rehydrate the meat.
4️⃣ Add cubed firm tofu to the chicken, cover 2 min.
5️⃣ Season both with light teriyaki sauce, a touch of soy sauce, sesame oil, black pepper, and roasted sesame seeds.
6️⃣ Add the broccoli back in, cover briefly, then stir everything together.
🍚 Serve with warm rice. quick, healthy, and satisfying!
