Welcome back to Best Clean Eating Recipes!
I’m excited to share tonight’s clean eating dinner recipe with you. Not only was it delicious and wholesome, it was created on a whim and super easy to make. My family loved it, and all asked for seconds, making it one of those chicken dinner ideas worth repeating.
Before continuing with the recipe, I’d like to share my thoughts with you about buckwheat noodle.
It was DELICIOUS! Especially for a grain. Also, I loved that it has light consistency but still filled me up.
Despite its name, buckwheat is actually not related to wheat; it’s related to sorrel, knot wheat and rhubarb, and is considered a pseudo-cereal because its seeds are edible.
It’s grown mainly in Asia, and is considered a staple in the diets there.
The health benefits of buckwheat are endless.
According to The World’s Healthiest Foods, a diet with buckwheat has been linked to lower blood pressureand cholesterol, a lower risk of diabetes, and prevention of gallstones. Buckwheat is also high in fiber, which prevents heart disease.
Tonight’s clean eating recipe was easy to do.
It took less than 30 minutes, but tasted great. The ginger-lime flavor was fantastic!
I hope you enjoy the recipe as much as I did.
