maybe my favorite product in all of aldi it's this it's the 92nd pre-cooked quinoa and brown rice packet it's organic it's already made for you it's 8.8 ounces for a shockingly low price of 229. what's also shocking is the ingredients when i discovered this a couple years ago i was like wow wee wow because ingredients are next level but look at the oil it's organic olive oil and it's organic brown rice and red quinoa it's a complex carbohydrate whereas if you went to something like this the basmati rice this is white rice to me this is dead food it has no nutrition this is complex carbohydrates um i use this in my still best selling five ingredient cookbook available on amazon with almost 9 000 5 star reviews now because it's the best friend to a home cook you have this in your pantry and you can make something really quick like i am i'm going to add some bone broth to this some cheese it's going to be great this stuff is fantastic they also usually have another one organic seven greens this is a good one too but because we're gluten free at home i would get this one it is fantabulous we're going to make a spiced crusted chicken breast and the choice is clear in my opinion at aldi boom goes to dynamite the organic chicken breast here you have two options whole chicken breast and here we go chicken tenders i prefer the whole breast and hello is this a manager special here 579 per pound that's a really good deal because the regular these are not organic chicken breasts are 429 these are going to be gmo feed these are going to be organic non-gmo what's cool is i'll show you how to pound those thin and cook them in a hot pan so it's juicy and you don't dry out that is a really really good deal also a better deal if you haven't tried the pasture raised chicken box on thrive market keep in mind almost no grocery store has pasture-raised chicken even though it's organic it's from a chicken that really never goes outside it's in that big warehouse at least it has an organic feed pasture-raised chicken is the opposite it only lives outside it's free to forage and the supplemental feed is non-gmo and the flavor and texture is way better the funny thing is they lowered the price on thrive market of the pasture-raised box and it was sold out for two months it's back it's about 550 per pound because it's 15 and a half pounds for 90 so 550 per pound for pasture raised versus 580 per pound for the breast this is okay but when you try thrive market using my promo link down below you get another 25 off on top of that and the free gift that chicken is legit so use my promo link try it out but if you're here at aldi this is what you want to get the organic chicken breast for the win i was thinking of mixing the brothy quinoa and brown rice with pesto but unfortunately just like most store-bought pestos this one here see how the main oil is olive then it has the dreaded highly processed highly inflammatory sunflower oil which is a bummer so you might ask yourself self why is there olive oil and sunflower oil too well what would mr wonderful say on shark tank money right sunflower oil is cheap but like canola oil it has no flavor it's neutral flavor so yes they'll put some olive oil in there but then because olive oil is expensive they'll back it up or fortify it with neutral flavored sunflower oil which is really really bad for your health unfortunately 90 of store-bought pestos have that kind of cruddy oil so like mr wonderful on shark tank for that reason i'm out i'm gonna pass on that so we'll figure something out later on but we do need some bone broth for our brothy grain packet here and i don't necessarily see it let's see this one this is organic beef bone broth and this is organic chicken bone broth i don't think it's going to be bobby approved so here see that one ingredient there caramel coloring it's so ridiculous the sole purpose of caramel coloring is to make broth look brown like that that's why colas always have caramel coloring the problem is some people consider it a carcinogen and it's something i wouldn't want to put in my body some i don't maybe it's seasonal some all these do have bone broth with no caramel coloring i don't see it now that being said it's still better than something like that that's going to be way inferior and because it's bone broth it's made with the organic bones which are loaded with collagen and gelatin and something called chondroitin which is good for your gut bacteria and collagen is really really fortifying and good for your body so if you're at aldi i'd still go with that one that being said i'm gonna put this one back because yeah because at home i have a bunch of kettle and fire bone broth that is best in class ingredients so if you're here get that i'm just going to skip on that because i don't want to put any caramel color in my body chicken breasts are bland they need some help in the flavor department so let's make a spice rub here what do we got okay here i'm going to go to the organic section i love ground turmeric a beautiful color but also turmeric is uh anti-inflammatory i'll get some ground cumin and then let's mix that with an italian seasoning where's that normally it's right here it's sold out but actually i have one of these in my pantry at home so italian seasoning mixed with these you're good to go look i was thinking maybe we can put this into the barathi grain packet too this is a it's a good idea stir in paste basil but look once again even though it's made with organic basil it's got the nasty sunflower oil so that's a no on that too but the spices are a yes back to my favorite aisle the aldi fines and this is a great opportunity to try this we talked about it the other week it's what i'm calling probably the best extra virgin olive oil here at aldi it's the single origin single varietal extra virgin olive oil that's a good price six dollars for 17 fluid ounces here what i mean is see how this is hopefully i'm hoping i'm not butchering it arbi queen yeah see how that says peak quail that means it's one variety of olives only it's not a mix and it's only from spain that's what you want when it comes to olive oil so let's try to get this and cook our food in there i think it's about very decent quality especially for aldi and that's definitely a good price i know what we're going to put in the brothy grains we're going to put cheese cheese bone broth and the brown rice and quinoa this is their version aldi of kerrygold dubliner it's irish grass-fed milk cheese it's seven ounces for 359. this is gonna be great folded into that hot brothy grains now keep in mind it's not a hundred percent grass-fed uh but it's just like kerrygold it's irish cheddar it's about eighty percent grass-fed during inclement weather in the winter they do give grains i can't still figure out if it's gmo or non-gmo i got to figure that out but compared to any other cheese here this is going to be the best because 80 percent grass-fed and pasture-raised is the way to go so that's fantastic we'll get some of that all right we got everything from the shopping list let's go home and let's cook let's start off by pounding those chicken breasts a bit thinner this will help them cook a little more evenly we're going to make a spice rub by adding some of the cumin to a small bowl along with some turmeric and some of that italian seasoning from aldi give it a mix up and then season the chicken with a liberal amount of good quality salt and some of the spice rub and then a drizzle of that olive oil and then rub it in that way the marinade really does some work flip the chicken over and do the same thing on the other side while the chicken's marinating preheat a non-stick pan with a drizzle of that olive oil and then add two packets of the brown rice and quinoa mixture along with some salt some pepper and warm it up for a couple minutes and then add one cup of bone broth and cook it for about 10 minutes over medium-low heat grate about one cup of that grass-fed cheddar cheese and then add it to the pan stir the cheese in and cook it over low until it's nice and melty and saucy meanwhile let's get back to the chicken add some olive oil to a cast iron pan that's preheated add the chicken breast in and then once they go in just kind of push them down that'll help the skin get nice and golden brown after about five minutes give them a flip oh that's oh god it's messy again that's a nice crust but it's also extremely messy cook it for another few minutes with the splatter guard on get them out of the pan that's perfect and let them rest for a few minutes okay rose has joined me for the chicken part here it rested for five minutes let me slice them up look at that you guys chicken breast is perfectly cooked it's juicy as can be and that spice crust is just beautiful looks like rose likes it too go ahead and spoon some of the brothy cheesy brown rice and quinoa on the plate add that sliced chicken right on top there looks perfect and then take the juices from the plate garnish on top and that's it my friends dinner is ready it's good right yeah this looks amazing you guys it came out perfect mmm gross high five today boom flavor's on point texture's on point healthy as can be that is phenomenal i'll type up the recipe i'll put it
