Lemony Chicken and Broccoli Rabe Recipe Really Wows for Only $1.96 a Serving
Start the week right with a delicious dinner stir-fry that’s ready in just 30 minutes
For me, Mondays are the longest day of the week. The weekend is over, and it’s still a long way to Friday. So, when I get home from work, I’m tempted to call for takeout. But getting a delicious meal on the table doesn’t have to be a grind. That’s why this Chicken and Broccoli Rabe recipe is one of my favorites. It’s ready in just 30 minutes! Best of all, it’s tastier than delivery. At only $1.96 a serving, it’s easier on the wallet, too.
Broccoli rabe is similar to regular broccoli but has thinner stalks and smaller florets, so it cooks up in no time. And while you might think that radishes are just for salads, when they’re sauteed, they mellow and take on buttery taste. Their crisp-tender texture is the perfect complement to slightly bitter broccoli rabe. You’ll be surprised at how easily this dish comes together. Cook along with our video and let us know.
