We’ve been busy at our new house scraping the old popcorn ceilings. What a process! When I’m tired from a long day of working on the ceiling, cooking dinner is a low priority. I’m usually super hungry by that point and just want to order out. I’ve found a little pre-planning and choosing quick cooking meals helps.

These Cashew Chicken Rice Bowls are an all-in-one fast and filling dinner idea. I created a healthier version by using brown rice, lean chicken, broccoli and a few cashews for a nice crunch. The light marinade is made from chicken broth and soy sauce.

The Cashew Chicken Rice Bowls can be eaten as a complete meal or if you want to increase your veggie intake add a nice side salad.

For this recipe I used Braggs  Liquid Aminos instead of soy sauce since it is GMO-free. However, I just discovered a new product that I want to try out: Coconut Aminos. It’s supposed to be soy-free, gluten free and a non-GMO alternative! Great for those sensitive to soy or trying to avoid GMOs. Once I try it out I will let you know how it goes.
