Curried Chicken with Assorted Veggies

Being a student, it sometimes feels like I eat the same foods over and over again. That's why I like to play around with spices, and experiment with new and different ways to cook the "same old foods". I always have chicken and an assortment of veggies tucked away in my fridge. So tonight, I messed around with my cooking skillz, and came up with a marvelously delicious meal!



What you'll need:
- 4oz chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/4 sweet red onion, sliced
- curry powder
- 5 asparagus spears
- 1 slice turkey bacon
- 1/2 sweet red bell pepper, sliced lengthwise
- 1/4 eggplant, sliced into rounds
- 2 pineapple rings
- 1 tsp olive oil
- salt and pepper


What to do:
1. Heat up a frying pan on medium-high heat. Spray it with non-stick cooking spray. Once heated, add the chicken chunks and onion. Add the curry powder and coat well. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink on the inside.
2. As the chicken cooks, heat up a George Foreman-type grill.
3. Toss the remaining veggies in the olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper (or other spices of your choice).
4. Once the grill is heated, grill the veggies and pineapple. Flipping halfway through or until grill marks form (about 10 mins total, depending on how hot your grill gets).
5. Remove the veggies from the grill, and quickly heat up the slice of turkey bacon.
6. Wrap the asparagus in the turkey slice.
7. Throw it all together on a plate, and VOILA!
