Vegetable Chicken Sauté with Citrus Herb Vinaigrette has become a favorite lunch and dinner recipe in my house! The blend of warm vegetables over a crunchy bed of purple cabbage with the bite of an acidic drizzle is sure to make your taste buds dance. 🙂
This delicious blend is loaded with a smorgasbord of antioxidant-packed vegetables in nearly every color of the rainbow, except for blue! Blueberries anyone? The cabbage and broccoli duo, part of the cruciferous vegetables, help with hormonal balance. Olive oil and fresh herbs are anti-inflammatory. The shiitake mushrooms happily entice your immune system. And last but certainly not least, you get a massive dose of fiber to support your ever-important gut bugs.
If you want a vegetarian version, just take out the chicken. Consider adding chickpeas or another favorite bean!
