Smoothie for breakfast. Lunch was a low-carb tortilla sandwich with turkey & ham. I was out of cream cheese, so I substituted butter and some store-bought Ranch dressing I need to use up. Just used a little and it gave a nice flavor without adding too many carbs. 

 

For dinner, I cut up two chicken breasts (about a pound of meat) and cooked them up in my not-a-wok non-stick stir fry pan. After the chicken was cooked through, I set it aside and added 1/4 cup of store-bought beef broth to the pan (again, because I have it on hand and need to use it up), and added one medium chopped onion, and 2 cloves of minced garlic. After the onion was translucent, I added my garbanzo bean sprouts, my almond Sprouts (*), and two handfuls of lentil and mung bean sprouts, covered the pan and set the timer for 2 minutes. 

When the timer went off, I added another 1/4 cup of broth, one medium zucchini and one small carrot, both cut into smal-ish pieces. Covered the pot. 2 minute timer. 

Added a pinch of sesame seeds, some fresh-ground salt and pepper, 1/4 cup of balsamic vinegar, a spoonful of homemade pesto sauce, and returned the chicken to the pot. Covered. 2 minute timer. 

Stirred everything up and declared it done! Forgot to take a picture before serving, so here's the pan after about half of it had been eaten!

 

Savory and flavorful. Yum! 👍

(*) I have no idea why autocorrect sometimes capitalizes Sprouts and sometimes doesn't. 😒🤷‍♀️
