It's also very nutrient dense and has a great balance of protein, carbs, and healthy fats, plus flavor to keep us on point with our health goals!”

This meal is easy when you're on the go. It keeps really well in a Mason jar-it lasts for five days! Also, there's no reheating necessary since it can be eaten cold. I also love how flavorful and colorful it is; plus it's refreshing and really fills you up.

“This is a staple chicken dish in a lot of Chinese households,” says Jenn Chee. “Its popularity is most likely due to how simple it is to make. Throw everything into a big pot, boil, and an hour or so later it's ready to serve. The chicken is tender and flavorful, so I always triple the recipe and freeze several portions, making meals midweek much faster.”
400g (1/2lb.) chicken drumlettes1" piece of ginger, thinly sliced4 cloves of garlic, lightly pounded2 star anise1 cup soya sauce (regular or light)4 cups water2 tablespoons Chinese cooking wine (Shaoxing wine)2 teaspoons Demerara sugar (for it's molasses flavour)1 teaspoon sesame oil
Add all ingredients into a large pot.Bring the mixture to boil on high heat for 15 minutes or so, pot is uncovered.Lower the heat to simmer for about 30 minutes, pot is partially covered. Leave the pot lid slightly askew to prevent too much sauce reduction.Turn off heat and let the chicken cool in the soy sauce mixture. As it cools the drumlettes will soak in the flavor.Follow Jenn at @carvequeen.
