Salad Plate Dinner... Portion Control.
Dinner is served...
This is what 1c. of steamed broccoli, 4oz. Grilled chicken, and 2tbsp. Salsa looks like. Served on a salad plate, not dinner plate. Why? To ensure the portions stay the size they should be. Smaller size plates fill up with just the amount we need per meal, eliminate over-eating, and make our mind think we are having more due to the fullness of the plate.
Instead of just eating chicken and broccoli side by side; change it up to make it more aesthetically pleasing... we do eat with our eyes first! I love to plate my meals with the vegetables first, then layer up the proteins and top with hot sauce or salsa.
Simple, quick, clean and delicious! The chicken was prepped yesterday as part of my Sunday food prep, leaving me with only having to steam broccoli to throw together my dinner. Of course, I did make potstickers and teriyaki chicken for the kids and hub bub2be, they wouldn't be to excited if I served them all the dishes I make for myself.
