Cauliflower rice, Bombay chicken, Steamed Broccoli

This was dinner on Monday night (for the record, I'm trying to prep a couple days in advance, so there is a bit of lag, it just helps me keep on top of my schedule, plus I'm not precisely the most well spoken individual so some of these take me some time.)

The chicken recipe is from a book called "The big cook"

and is for bulk meal preparation (This can be scaled up to like 16 servings, frozen and cooked later - thats what we did).  The Original recipe:

2 lb chicken thighs

Sauce 1 tbsp oil

1/4 cup mustard
1/4 cup honey
2 tsp seasoned salt
1/2 tbsp chille sauce
1/4 tsp onion powder
1 tsp mild curry

Scaled down, we cook 4-5 thighs, cut back on the honey and WAY back on the salt in the sauce.  This gets baked in the oven from a thawed condition, I do it uncovered, for about 30-40 min at 385 F.  Check on it at about 25 min, just because ovens do vary in temperature (ours seems to take longer for EVERYTHING). 

The cauliflower rice is started  by chopping and frying in butter:

Some Red Onion, snap peas, carrot, garlic,.  Add a pinch of chille flakes and a smaller pinch of cayenne pepper.  Add some coconut milk, cover and let simmer for a bit. 

In a food processor with a grater attachment, chop 1/2 head of cauliflower.  Cover and microwave 3 min, don't add water as per directions found here.  Add about 1 tsp mild curry powder. 

.

Add the riced cauliflower to the veggies, mix throughly and cover to cook through. Cook on med-low heat to not burn, turn down if required

 
 

Serve with some steamed broccoli and VOILA!

I really enjoyed this meal - and it turns out cauliflower rice is WAY easier than regular rice, who'dve thought.  haha.  3 min vs 25min. 

Workouts:

Sun - Truck

Mon - Off

Tues - 10 min elliptical to warm up, 5/4/3/2/1 HSPU (I really like these somedays, but I kind of prefer static hand stands), 5 X 15 Unweighted Deep Squats, Pullups 12/8/4 (Still working on getting better at these - I am kind of a heavy guy), Plank, R Sideplank with leg raise, L Sideplank with leg Raise.  Stretch to CD

Wed - Off

It was a real slow kind of workout, I wasn't going for high intensity or anything.  I didn't have alot of energy, but I really wanted to feel some resistance to get my energy levels up - it didn't work.  I seem to be fighting something off, so my posting may be a little sporratic this week.  I Slept for 10 hours last night and still feel like I need some more - so I'm going to go to bed again early tonight.   

Cheers,

Pat
