There are many ways to cook this up but the way I like to prepare it is to thaw your chicken out first, this takes a little extra time so pull your chicken out about 4 hours before, if you forget and are in a rush just take the chicken and place it in luke warm water for about 15 minutes or so. Ever had rubbery chicken that is tough and dry? Most likely because it was cooked frozen and then over cooked!Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Throw those cute chickens in the pan and don't overcook them, medium heat with a little olive oil on the pan. Cook them enough to just get the pink out of the middle, if you use tenderloins and they are thawed out completely it should only take a few minutes per side to cook completely.

This is the quick and easy way to prepare this meal, not the tastiest just the quick and easy. Chop up your  onions, broccoli, mix in the cabbage, add about 1/2 a cup of the beans, and add a tablespoon of the Thai Satay Peanut Sauce and add about 1/2 cup of water and heat on medium in the pan. Cover the pan for a few minutes to allow the steam from the added water to steam the broccoli, then remove the cover and the water will slowly boil out leaving you with a decent thickness sauce.

I'm not going to tell you how to boil rice, read the directions, its not too hard just make sure not to overcook it, fool proof!

Take your shredded chicken and mix it together with the vegetables and beans, mix in the cooked rice and add more peanut sauce or curry sauce, just make sure it has coconut oil for the base ingredient! Here's what dinner looked like for me without the added eggs.Image and video hosting by TinyPic
