Coat a 9x9 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and arrange chicken. Combine all other ingredients on top of chicken. Sprinkle with olive oil and bake for 30 – 40 minutes at 375 degrees. Serve over rice, quinoa or couscous. Don’t worry about the amount of vegetable. Just cover the chicken with the vegetables until it looks satisfactory to you.

Spicy Noodle Salad

Make the dressing first since it needs to set for at least a couple of hours.

Dressing:
½ cup soy sauce
1 Tablespoon finely diced ginger
¼ cup white wine vinegar
4 gloves of minced garlic
2 tablespoons Oriental chili sauce
¼ Teaspoon freshly ground pepper
3 Teaspoons sugar
¼ cup canola oil
2 Tablespoons sesame oil
1-2 Teaspoons chili flakes (well crushed)

Combine all the above ingredients and mix well. Refrigerate for several hours or overnight. I only use 1 Teaspoon crushed chili flakes as the chili sauce and ginger also add a bit of heat.

Salad:
12 ounce whole wheat spaghetti (Cooked and drained)
4 green onions, thinly sliced
½ cup of pea pods
½ cup grated carrots

Toss salad ingredients with the dressing and serve. Keeps well in the refrigerator and is served cold.
