Copycat Takeout Alert! 😍🌶️

15 Min Kung Pao Chicken Meal Prep:

The night before, cube up 1 lb of chicken breast and marinate with garlic, ginger, sriracha, and soy sauce.

When you’re ready to cook, toss chicken with a light coating of corn starch (around 1/4 cup).

In a large pan, heat a 50/50 split of sesame oil and olive oil on medium. Cook chicken all the way through, remove from pan, and add veggies of your choice with a little extra olive oil (I used broccoli, bell pepper and zucchini), a clove of garlic, and some minced ginger (I use the jarred kind 😋)

While those cook, mix up your sauce of 1/4 cup each soy sauce and honey, plus 2 tbsp sriracha.

Once your veggies are done to your liking, add your chicken back into the pan and coat everything in the sauce. Reduce heat to low and simmer for a couple minutes. Top with sesame seeds and enjoy over rice!

Tip: if you’re doing this as a meal prep, I suggest cooking your veggies just 75% of the way through. That way, they’ll finish cooking while you reheat instead of getting mushy!

The perfect summer pesto! 🍃🍋

In a blender or food processor, add:
- a generous 2 handfuls of basil
- The juice of 1 lemon
- 1/2 cup slices almonds
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- Salt & pepper

This recipe serves 4 but this is a great one to double/triple for a crowd or to store extra in the fridge!

Served here with pappardelle, sautéed zucchini, and a few drops of Calabrian chili. The sauce is bright and refreshing, perfect for a hot day! If you eat dairy, add parm to your hearts content 😋
