Chicken Edamame Rice Bowl

It’s Sunday night, all is quiet and I am sitting here watching the Golden Globes. It has inspired me to break out a few of my healthy recipes from my binder. Seeing all of these stars in their beautiful dresses, lookin all slim, really makes a girl want to eat a little better. So enter the chicken edamame rice bowl. It is filled with a rainbow of veggies and served over brown rice. You could serve it with quinoa, rice noodles, or even angel hair pasta if you aren’t crazy about the rice.

I love the beautiful colors that fill this bowl!

The sauce is light but gives the chicken and vegetables a nice flavor. Mix it all up and you will be full and satisfied.
