Panko Bread Crumbs add a wonderful crunchy coating to fish fillets that gives them a "deep fried" taste. Even fish haters like me love it and can learn to enjoy fish! ***NOTE: In light of the recent discussions about over fishing and the Spark article about "safe fish", I am removing the "Orange Roughy" from the title. I use Alaskan Halibut for my recipe now, but I leave the choice of fish up to each of you for yourselves. :-)

Quick and easy way to get your veggies all cooked in a single pan. I use agave instead of honey for less impact on blood sugar. If you don't have broth, use bouillon or water.

This recipe was my own creation based on my taste preferences. It is a hearty, filling, high fiber, high protein soup/stew with a slight mexican flair.

You could substitute ground chicken for turkey, but make sure it is ground chicken breast.

A serving equals about 1.25-1.5 cups
