The Addictive Quick Weeknight Meal Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 lb protein of your choice (chicken, beef, shrimp, or tofu)
- 2 cups of your favorite vegetables (bell peppers, onions, zucchini, etc.)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (optional)
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
- 1/2 cup cooked rice or noodles (optional for serving)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by chopping your protein and vegetables into bite-sized pieces. This helps everything cook quickly and evenly.
- Season and Sauté: Heat olive oil in a large skillet or pan over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, until fragrant. Add your protein and season with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well, and cook until the protein is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Cook the Vegetables: Add the chopped vegetables to the skillet with the protein. Stir everything together and cook for another 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but still vibrant and crisp.
- Add Flavor (Optional): If you want to add a touch of sweetness and depth of flavor, drizzle in a little soy sauce and honey. Stir everything together and let it cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Serve: If you’re adding rice or noodles to your meal, serve the protein and vegetable mixture over your cooked grains. If not, it’s perfectly fine to enjoy the dish on its own.
- Garnish and Enjoy: For a little extra flair, top with fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley, and enjoy!
