if you wanna eat healthy, chicken is typically the way to go... boneless skinless chicken breasts to be specific.. what i hate most about chicken is that it gets so dry when cooked! last night i made baby back ribs wrapped in foil and it was totally moist and tender... so i figured that if i wrap chicken in foil and baked it then it would come out just as good as the ribs.. i was totally right! :)
this is my first time making this chicken in foil dish.. i've had it before at chinese restaurants in the past but they usually only put chicken in it and that's it... borrriinnnggg! :) of course i had to add all my fave ingredients and toss in some veggies...
i topped it off with guacamole, chili pepper aioli (super easy to make.. see below), green onions, sesame seeds, and cashews.. i just ate it by itself, but you can also serve it with veggies and/or brown rice..
chili pepper aioli
-1/4 cup light sour cream
-2 tbsp tbsp light mayo
-1/2 tsp garlic salt
-1/2 tsp black pepper
-1 tsp chili pepper paste
-1/2 tsp crush red pepper
mix all ingredients together..
enjoy!
