what is edamame?
Edamame is a young bean, also known as green soybean, harvested before it is ripened. These small green soybeans are naturally gluten-free, are low in calories, and they are a good source of protein, iron, calcium, antioxidants and especially dietary fiber. One cup of edamame has 8 grams of dietary fiber.
the Louisiana chicken details,
To start, The chicken is seared in a splash of coconut oil mixed with cajun spices, onions, garlic and bell peppers. The cajun spices coat the chicken and the veggies with the most delicious flavours. Once the chicken is cooked, it is lightly sweetened either with honey or maple syrup to balance the spiciness. I have also added gluten-free tamari sauce for saltiness and edamame before adding the rice.
