Chicken, Broccoli, & 'Pasta' Sauce

I love ‘pasta sauce,’ but I’ll let you in on a secret. You don’t have to use it on pasta! So what I’ve done here is simply combine chicken and broccoli and then drenched them in tasty sauce. There are a wide range of sauces available. I’m particularly fond of one flavor, caramelized onion and garlic. Watch out for added ingredients though. Most sauces have cheese.

What I realize now is that most grain products really don’t have that much flavor. People love grain products because their dehydration and neutral flavor make them good delivery systems for other things that do have flavor. Think about it: toast with jelly, pasta with meat and sauce, bagels with cream cheese, ramen noodles with 70% of your daily required sodium, etc. If you make this realization, you can skip straight to the flavorful part, in this case the sauce.
