Low Salt Chicken Stir Fry

 

(Better picture will be taken at a later date)

I created this meal with what I had in my pantry and freezer. This dish can easily be made with leftover chicken and any frozen veggies in your freezer. This dish is low salt, but you can use soy sauce if you choose. Soy sauce even low sodium is high in sodium. So, I used Worcestershire Sauce and Amino Acid

Chicken Stir Fry

Ingredients

Chicken Breasts or thighs diced up. 

2 bags of frozen stir fry mix or whatever frozen veggies you have

5-6 T Garlic Powder 

1 Tsp Ginger

1 Tsp Salt

2 T Pepper

2 T Garlic Rub (optional)

1/4 C Worcestershire Sauce

2 T Amino Acid

If you want, you can just do 1/4 C of soy sauce if you are not watching salt. 

Rice (Cook according to directions for the amount you need)

Directions

Dice up your chicken and set it aside. In a skillet or pan put in a swirl of the oil you use. I personally use Olive Oil, but you can do whatever you have. Heat it. In a bowl mix your seasonings and toss your chicken in it. Easiest way is mix seasonings in a bowl and dump in a baggy with chicken. No mess shake chicken bag. Put seasoned chicken in the skillet and cook till chicken is pretty much done. Start your rice. Toss in your Worcestershire sauce and amino acid (or soy sauce). You need it to be able to coat chicken and frozen veggies. Once you add the sauce, dump in your frozen vegetables and stir to coat. Cook until the vegetables are heated through, and everything is mixed and cooked. 

Serve on top of rice. I used brown rice, but you can choose whatever rice you want. 

  

Leak and Spinach Brussel Sprouts

 

As a kid I use to hate Brussel sprouts, but in the last 5 years or so I started to enjoy them. The biggest thing is how it is cooked. I swear most people that hate them have had them badly cooked. Anyhow, I make a great bacon brussel sprouts. You can use low sodium bacon, to keep salt low.  I also decided to start to use Leeks. They are a mild onion and so good. My husband who is picky how his onions are loves them. 

Ingredients

1 bunch of Brussel sprouts

1 package of bacon

1 bag of spinach raw. 

1 Leek

Garlic

Directions

Dice up your raw bacon and start frying it. Drain some of the grease. Chop up your brussels sprouts, spinach, garlic and leeks. Set aside. When the bacon is almost crispy, add in your vegetables except spinach. You will put spinach in last. Cook till the Brussel sprouts are cooked but not smooshy. Once it's done add in a little bacon grease, and spinach. Cook slightly. You do not want soggy spinach or Brussel sprouts.

Cracked Pepper Pork Loin

 

We often purchase these pork loins. you get two of them for $10-11. We buy the unseasoned because of how much salt ins located in the seasoned ones.  I take both of them and season them, so on busy nights I can just cook it. 

Now this pork loin can be cooked two ways. I hate air fryers, but I make an exception for a few food items. We own rotisserie air fryer and so I use it. However, you can easily do this in the oven too, smoker or grill. 

Ingredients

2 Pork Loins 

Cracked Pepper or fine grind is okay too

Favorite rub 

Directions

Lay out both pork loins on a cutting board. First layer is your favorite rub. I use a rub that my husband and I made on our wedding. However, you can use your own favorite rub.  Do not do a heavy rub unless you want. The cracked pepper is the star of the show. Once you do the light rub then you take the pepper and rub it all over the pork loin. You can do it heavily or lightly it really is up to your spice level. 

Put one in a baggy or cook both it is up to you. If you have a rotisserie air fryer, then you can use that and cook it for 40 minutes. However, if you don't own that version, you can bake it. In a deep baking pan put in a cooling rack that can be used in the oven. Set the pork loins on it and cook for an hour. This will allow air to flow through. Once it is cooked and juices run clear, then remove it and slice it up.

Bacon BBQ Meatloaf

Ingredients 

2 lbs of ground beef

1 1/2 C Panko or oats

2 eggs

1 C bbq sauce

2 jalapeños chopped

2 T salt

2 T pepper

9 slices of bacon

2 cups of cheese(I used shredded but next time I’m using a block of cheese)

Toppings:

1 C brown sugar

Sprinkle of red pepper flakes

1 c bbq sauce

Directions

In a bowl mix your hamburger, salt, pepper, 1 cup of bbq sauce, jalapeños, eggs and panko till combined. Set it aside.

Preheat oven to 400

Take a cookie sheet and put bacon down. One right next to the other leaving no spaces. Take your meatloaf mix and put on top of bacon. Spread it out so it covers the bacon. Take your cheddar cheese and sprinkle on top.

Now the tricky part. You will now roll up the meatloaf and bacon. Take one side and make sure you got the bacon with it. Roll it up slow and tight. It’s hard so don’t get discouraged. Once it’s rolled up make sure it’s tucked.

Get a baking pan with sides and lay in a cooling rack. Spray it with non stick spray. Now gently place your meatloaf on top. Now get your brown sugar and pat it all over the bacon. Top with red pepper flakes.

Put it in the oven and bake till bacon starts to look crispy. When there is 10 minutes left take it out and cover it with 1 cup of BBQ sauce. Bake it till it’s caramelized.

Take it out of the oven and let it rest. Then carefully put it into a platter.

Eat and enjoy!

Ingredients

1 lb of Roma tomatoes(no seeds)

2 jalapeños (no seeds)
