Bob Marley's Smokin' Chicken & Veggies

in #revolution5 years ago (edited)

Welcome back my fellow revolutionists!

Some days it's nice to just prep and let the oven do all the work. Since it's the weekend, we'll be keeping this one simple. This is the only recipe where I'll be adding a small amount of Parmesan to the dish though it is optional. I find that the flavor of the chicken really stands out and, as with Greek yogurt, Parmesan is low in both lactose and sugar and high in protein.

This is probably the best way to enjoy herbaceous legumes and will make you forget about your childhood traumatic experiences of choking down a plate full of flavor-less vegetables.

I'd like to dedicate this recipe to the legend Bob Marley. One of the main reasons is that while preparing this dish, you'll notice the faint aroma of marijuana as the spices are layered in with the veggies. Not only did Bob Marley create a new genre in music, but he advocated for marijuana use long before it was recreational or even considered for medical purposes. My favorite quote of his is as simple as this recipe and yet extremely profound:

"Don't gain the world and lose your soul; wisdom is better than silver or gold."

Ingredients:

1 - Zucchini (sliced)
1 - Yellow Squash (sliced)
1 - Red Bell Pepper (sliced)
1½ cups - Mushrooms (sliced)

2 - Chicken Breasts (lean)
Salt (Kosher/Himalayan)
Black Pepper (ground)
No-Salt Seasoning (Mrs Dash or Kirkland)
[Optional] 2 tbsps - Parmesan (grated)

Cooking Ingredients:

1 tbsp - Coconut Oil

Instructions:

1 - Preheat the oven to broil or the highest temperature possible
2 - Take the sliced zucchini and layer the bottom of an 8x8 glass dish. Once layered, apply a light dusting of the salt and pepper and a bit heavier dusting of the no-salt seasoning. No oil needed
3 - Repeat this step for every veggie, adding the spices after each layer. Remember, the thinner the veggie slice the more flavor you'll get in every bite

4 - Put the veggies on the top rack and broil for about 20 to 25 minutes

5 - About 10 minutes before the veggies are done, add the coconut oil to a pan on high heat
6 - Butterfly the chicken and lightly apply salt and pepper to the top and sear it for a couple minutes on each side

7 - Once the chicken is seared, place it on top of the broiled veggies and add the Parmesan

8 - Broil for another 10 minutes and let it sit for about 5 minutes before serving. There should be a nice broth that you can add to the plate for more flavor

There is no greater cause than the one we fight for. Every day we fight and win or lose, we learn. What better way to feed your soul than by feeding your brain? What better way to feed your brain than by cooking healthily and eating simply? Let's COOK and show the world that there is more to this life than silver or gold!

I hope you can materialize this idea. I found the dish really appealing. It looks juicy and fresh. Maybe with some back pepper or hot peppers it will be even more naughty :)
Thanks for sharing

Thank you @hiezama. Feel free to check out my other posts. You'll find that most of my recipes are indeed spicy as I like my food to have a nice kick. I decided to keep this one a bit more on the mild side but the black pepper still adds some heat.

This vision is only the beginning but it will take time as all worthwhile things do. I feel that sharing is the best way to get my years of cooking ideas and experience out there and let the positive vibes guide me toward making my vision a reality.

Thanks for sharing this simple recipe with us. Looks delicious!

Very happy to share with you @atalaya

so we have a baked vegetables with lemon and fry and backed chicken and parmesan. Sounds quite quick, simple and delicious. Should we use some kind of side-dish for it, like some pasta, tagliatelle for example ?

Haven't tried it with lemon but that could work. Thanks for the tip @cubapi. Typically, I try to stay away from pasta as it's just a filler and doesn't really add any nutritional value but every now and then a good pasta goes a long way. Believe it or not, this dish is actually quite filling as is.

I will check it in next few days and then I will also drop my own review here :)

I wish I could taste that! I bet it's delicious!!! :D

Thank you @hiddenblade. You should make it and taste for yourself. I promise you'll love it. When you do, please come back and let me know what you think.
