Friends and Fitness Enthusiasts,
While I was running the other day, Barefoot Contessa was on. She made this incredible dish that I couldn't wait to make. So, Kelby and I made her fantastic, succulent roast chicken with carrots, and potatoes. I have to share this recipe because it was easy to follow and tasted incredible. Unfortunately, I have no picture of it because we sliced it and devoured it too quickly for me to snap a shot. Anyway, here's the link. Go impress someone with your kitchen prowess. This chicken is not greasy, fatty, or anything. It is simple and delicious. Bon appetit, y'all!
In health,
Lauren

65/365 Zucchini Chicken Bake/Paleo Meal
Friends and Fitness Enthusiasts,
I decided that I am not ready to commit to whole day of following the Paleo Diet. Instead, I decided to have a Paleo Meal using the zucchini I still had from the market and frozen chicken breast.
Ingredients:
2 tbsp grape seed oil
1 clove of garlic, smashed
1 zucchini, sliced into thin rounds
1 yellow squash, sliced into thin rounds
1 bell pepper, sliced
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 c. diced tomatoes (the spice mix I used included dehydrated tomatoes)
1 frozen chicken breast
Recipe:
1. Preheat oven to 375
2. Heat oil in skillet until warm. Add garlic, cook until fragrant
3. Add zucchini, yellow squash, and bell pepper; saute until soft.
4. Place frozen chicken breast in baking dish. Drizzle oil on top, sprinkle seasonings of choice.
5. Top frozen chicken breast with sauteed vegetables.
6. Bake uncovered for 40 minutes or until chicken is thoroughly cooked through.
I thought this was fantastically simple and delicious. I made it up and it ended up turning out well, yay! And it's so healthy. Fresh veggies, skinless chicken breast, garlic? Mmm mmm yum!
In health,
Lauren
