2 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
1/2 Cup and 2 Tbsp. of a Low Sodium Teriyaki Sauce 1 bag of frozen Stir-fry Vegetables
2 tsp. Corn Starch
1 Cup Low Sodium Chicken Broth
1 Tbsp. Olive Oil
2 Cloves of Garlic (chopped)
1 bag of frozen Stir-fry Vegetables
1. Cut the Chicken Breasts into small strips and marinate with 2 Tbsp. of Teriyaki Sauce in a Ziploc bag for at least 30 minutes.
2. Mix corn starch with 1/4 cup of the chicken broth, once incorporated add the remaining broth and 1/2 cup of the Teriyaki Sauce mix and put to the side.
3. Sauté the garlic in the olive oil in a wok or large saucepan. Add marinated chicken and stir until chicken is cooked thru.
4. Add the broth/sauce mixture, once it starts to simmer add frozen veggies
and cover the pan. Then simmer for 20 minutes until vegetable are heated and
the sauce has thickened.5. Serve over brown rice.
This recipe makes about 5 servings and is about 200 calories a serving. It was really delicious! By using the chicken stock to stretch the Teriyaki Sauce it made the sauce light but it still had a ton of flavor.
P.S. Be careful of sharp knives, while cleaning us last night I sliced my finger pretty bad and had to miss boot camp this morning :(

Hi Desire, I'm Jessica Dyckhoff's sister, Danelle. She introduced me to your blog back in 2010 when I was starting my own weight loss plans for my upcoming wedding. I didn't know much about blogging back then, and I didn't have an account to follow you with, but I was so inspired by your posts! I'm happy to see you're both back on track with your weight loss goals and writing about your journey again.
It's so difficult to lose weight, especially when you have so many responsibilities competing for your attention. I've been in grad school since 2005 working on my Ph.D. and teaching full time since 2007, and in this time I managed to gain 50 pounds! The weight just creeps on over the years, and it's so hard to take off. I've been able to lose 10 pounds so far this year though, and I'm looking to lose at least 20 more before my wedding in September. I'm actually going to my first boot camp on Wednesday!
When Jessi told me you were posting again I was so happy. It's really inspiring to read about other people's successes, struggles, and methods of overcoming obstacles. Keep up all your hard work! I'll be rooting for you! ( :

P.S. Jessi, our mom, and I have our blog now called Red Rose Alley. It's just a little page where we talk about the things in life that make us happy. Here's the link if you'd like to check it out: http://redrosealley.blogspot.com/
