Great Lunch!

Wednesday, March 24, 2010

So I'm starting this whole healthy lifestyle change and I'm trying to make some of the recipes more healthy. Today after getting back from the gym I was sooooo hungry and so sticking with my healthy lifestyle and not wanting to just throw out all the work I did that morning, I decided to make a bbq chicken salad for lunch (It's nice for a healthy dinner as well). Heres my recipe!


What you'll need...

-1 chicken breast
-olive oil (1 tblsp)
-garlic bbq sauce
-montreal chicken spice
-1 mushroom bouillon cube (I love using these to add flavour)
-2 cups of water
-Mixed greens
-balsamic vinaigrette

Directions

-In a small pan (enough to fit the chicken) add a tblsp of olive oil and put over medium-high heat. Add chicken breast. Put montreal chicken spice on each side. Cook on both side for about 5 minutes (make sure it doesn't burn, lower heat if needed).
-After both sides are slightly brown add the water and bouillon cube and let simmer for another 10 minutes. Add more water if needed.
-After about 10-12 minutes and when water is almost fully evaporated add bbq sauce on both sides and let cooks for 1-2 minutes on each side.
-Cut into strips or pieces and place on top of salad.
-I recommend balsamic vinaigrette but you may use desired dressing.
-Thats it! :D

I had this with a small dark rye toast as well. It was so filling and delicious and its healthy too! It doesn't take long to prepare either.
Enjoy!
