ARUGULA AND SPINACH STIR FRY

ARUGULA AND SPINACH STIR FRY
We doubled this but could of tripled it.  Cooked down a lot.  Scott made it and didn't add any curry, but it would have been so good with it.

1 cup chopped arugula
1 cup chopped spinach
1 large onion chopped (would not double)
3 green chilies chopped (used 1 can diced green chiles)
salt to taste
1 T oil (just use vegetable broth)
1 spring curry leaves
2 T grated coconut (used Trader Joe's chunks)
1/2 tsp mustard seed

Heat pan and add mustard seeds.  When they begin to splutter add the onion, green chilies and curry leaves and fry until onions are slightly brown.

Toss in greens.

Add salt and coconut.

Cover and cook for a few minutes till all the water dries.

SLOW COOKER CHICKEN TERIAYKI
This was super easy and good.

UPDATE: Abagail said we should have this ever week.  Everyone loved it.  Had with rice and fresh cooked vegetables (broccoli & corn).  We used IKEA bowls.  Had in the instant pot all day.  Then cut up chicken and stirred with sauce while the rice was cooking.

• 2 pounds boneless chicken breasts (3 breasts)
• 1 pound fresh or frozen stir fry vegetables*
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• ¼ cup soy sauce
• ¼ cup honey
• ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon pepper
• ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (didn't add)

1. Add all ingredient to slow cooker.
2. Cook on low setting for 6-8 hours.
3. Shred chicken and mix with sauce in slow cooker.

NOTES

*This recipe works great with any kind of fresh or frozen vegetables! My favorite fresh mix is sugar snap peas, sliced red peppers, and shredded carrots (note: fresh broccoli doesn't freeze well). If you prefer al dente vegetables, wait to add them until the last 30 minutes of cooking.

SWEET HAWAIIAN CROCK POT CHICKEN

SWEET HAWAIIAN CROCK POT CHICKEN
This is delish & so easy!  Can easily be doubled or tripled.  I made a stir fry to go along with it and some rice.  Thought it would be better if the sauce was thicker.  Next time I would either add 1-2 tsp of cornstach (added to 1/4 c cold water and stirred) or transfer liquid to a pot with cornstarch mixture and bring to a boil.  Can layer it to make a yummy rice bowl.

2# chicken tenderloin chunks (I had some frozen breast in the freezer just threw them in- not cubed)
1 cup pineapple juice
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup soy sauce

Combine all together, cook on low 6-8 hours (I did about 10 since it was frozen - could have been less).  Serve with rice.


Here is the stir fry I did:
-spinach
-broccoli
-zucchini
-yellow squash
-carrots
-mixed nuts
-wish I would have had celery
-oil
-sesame oil
