Cooking with Anne: Healthy takeout

I'm a huge fan of takeout — I would eat it for every meal if I could. But on a college student's budget it just isn't realistic to have it often.

This version of takeout, though, is both half the calories and half the price of your usual go-to. This meal serves 3, so prep it for the week or serve your friends while watching a movie one Friday night.

Ingredients

3 Chicken breasts 

3 cups white rice

2 head of broccoli

4 tbsp sesame oil

4 tbsp olive oil

4 tsp sou sauce

1 clove garlic

2 tbsp Sriracha 

Directions

1. Cut chicken into bite-sized squares and cook on medium heat on stove with one tbsp sesame oil and two tbsp olive oil.

2. Cut broccoli into smaller pieces and top with one tbsp soy sauce and two tbsp olive oil. Bake in oven on 425 for 30 minutes.

3. Cook rice in microwave or rice cooker, then add in minced garlic, rest of sesame oil and rest of soy sauce. Mix well.

4. Lay one cup of rice on a plate, top with chicken, broccoli and a drizzle of Sriracha. Repeat two more times.

Don't be afraid to adjust this recipe. If you want a different meat or veggie swap them. If you want more soy sauce add it. Do whatever you want to make this recipe your own.
