MMMmmmm delicious!

1 small bunch cilantro
1/2 cinnamon stick, broken
1/2 t saffron
1/2 t ground cumin
1/2 t ground ginger
Sea salt and pepper to taste

Brown chicken.Add the onions, ginger and cumin. Deglaze the pan with the chicken stock and add the saffron, cilantro, cinnamon and almonds.Cover and braise at 325 degrees until the chicken is falling off the bone. Serve with a spoonful of sauce over each piece.

Chicken Stir Fry

This is really yummy!

8 chicken breast tenders cut into strips
3 cups broccoli heads
2 zucchini, sliced
1 large onion, sliced into strips
1 tsp minced garlic
1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth
1 TBS Braggs

Heat olive oil in a deep frying pan or wok. Add chicken, onion, and garlic to pan. Saute until onions start to become translucent. Add broccoli, zucchini, broth, and Braggs. Bring liquid to a boil. Once boil is reached, lower heat and simmer with lid on for about 15 mintues, or until vegetable texture is reached. If too bland, add more Braggs or sea salt. Serve over your choice of rice or eat alone. Its great either way!

Sauteed Garlic and Ginger Shrimp with Zucchini

This is delicious, and I you won't even miss the pasta!

1 pound uncooked, peeled, jumbo shrimp (de veined)
3 zucchinis (shredded through a cheese grater to make little strips)
3 tsp chopped garlic
2 tablespoons freshly grated ginger & its juice
sea salt & pepper to taste
olive oil

Warm oil in nonstick skillet. Add garlic & ginger, sautee for a minute or two. Add in shrimp. Stir and sautee until shrimp are opaque on both sides. Meanwhile, shred the zucchini. When shrimp are just done, add in your shredded zucchini, salt & pepper, and stir well. (The zucchini will absorb all of the delicious flavors in the pan!)
Cook all together for five minutes.

Can place over spaghetti squash if you wish.
