First Post! And new favorite recipe!

How fun for new things! I am so excited to start sharing some of my most favorite recipes with everyone. Some are tried and tested from other places, and some I see as a challenge to make as clean as I can. This one pretty much came out of necessity - Aurora (5yo) has been on an Edamame kick lately so I had to figure out a new way to eat it besides just plain with pepper. ;) Needless to say, it was a hit with EVERYONE!

Cilantro Lime Chicken with Edamame Salad 

What You Need: 

Boneless Chicken, 3 breasts 
Limes, 2 or 3 
Garlic, 4 to 6 cloves 
EVOO 
Cumin Cayenne or Chili Powder 
Cilantro, 1/4 cup, snipped 
Rice or quinoa 

For The Salad:

2 ears of corn, unhusked, or about 2 cups cooked corn. 
1/2 cup Edamame 
1/4 cup Chopped Red Onion 
1 Red Bell Pepper 
1 TBSP Greek Yogurt 
1 TBSP Fresh Lemon Juice 
1 1/2 TSP grated ginger 
S&P to taste 
1 TBSP cilantro 

What You Do: 

I cut my chicken in to cubes, made for quicker cooking. Sprinkle the chicken with S&P, the Cumin and Cayenne/Chili Powder. Add it to your pan heated with EVOO. Cook until almost golden brown, add garlic and lime juice a few more mins and let it finish cooking. Remove from pan and sprinkle with Cilantro. Set aside. 

Meanwhile you can cook up your brown rice. I just use boxed minute brown rice, or quinoa, and usually have quite a bit of this on hand from my weekly prep, so sometimes if I'm on the ball I can skip this. ;) See...pays off to be prepped! 

If you have fresh corn, which we just got some in at the grocery so I jumped on it! You'll need to soak your corn in the husk for about 30 mins in cold water. Send them off to the grill and leave them there about 10 mins, turn once and cook another 10 mins. Once they are cool enough, peel the husk off and cut the corn off the cob into a bowl. If you don't, just use a bag of frozen corn and cook it up. Add all the other ingredients into the bowl, stir and serve right away, or cover and chill until serving time.

Enjoy! Let me know how you all liked it!
