Buffalo Chicken Roll Up

by

Buffalo Chicken Roll Up

Just yum!

Serves 4

🥄 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
🥄 ⁣1/3 cup Frank’s hot WINGS Sauce
🥄 1/2 tsp maple flavoured stevia
🥄 ⁣2 limes juiced
🥄 1 teaspoons garlic powder
🥄 ⁣1 teaspoon chili powder
🥄 1 teaspoon ground cumin
🥄 ⁣1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
🥄 1 teaspoon onion powder
🥄 ⁣1/4 teaspoon pepper
🥄 4 slices mozzarella cheese

Use a meat tenderizer to pound each chicken breast flat and thin.  Set the chicken aside.

Mix all of the remaining ingredients except for the cheese together.  Pour into a 9 x 13 glass dish and add the chicken.  Cover and marinade for 8 hours, flipping the chicken (if possible) after about 4 hours.

Preheat oven to 400F.  Remove chicken from the marinade, and gently shake off excess.  Place a slice of mozzarella cheese on top of each breast, and roll up.  Place the chicken breasts seam side down in lightly greased baking dish. Bake for 20 – 25 minutes or until cooked through.  If desired top with a little extra mozzarella cheese.

These are perfect served with a side of fries!

Caprese Chicken Breast

Caprese Chicken Breast

Is there anything better than fresh tomatoes and basil straight out of the garden?  I think not!  This recipe isn’t exactly going to take a chunk out of your abundant garden, but it’s a tasty undertaking nonetheless.

Serves 1

🥄 1 chicken breast, grilled or baked
🥄 ⁣1 slice mozzarella cheese
🥄 1 slice tomato (beefsteak size is perfect)
🥄 ⁣1 – 2 leaves fresh basil

Top the chicken breast with a slice tomato and a slice of mozzarella and return to heat for a few minutes to melt the cheese.  Remove from heat (barbeque or oven) and top with fresh basil.  This is great enjoyed with a side of rice.

Grilled Vegetable and Chicken Wraps with Hummus

Grilled Vegetable and Chicken Wraps with Hummus

Just all my favourite things merged together!  You can grill the veggies on the weekend and keep in them in a sealed container in the fridge for several days.  I recommend preparing these wraps just before eating them so that you can enjoy the wraps at their best.

Serves 1

🥄 2 medium whole wheat wraps
🥄 ⁣2 tbsp hummus
🥄 1 small grilled chicken breast, sliced
🥄 ⁣Sliced portobello mushrooms, zucchinis and eggplant

Grill the mushrooms, zucchinis and eggplant over medium heat and allow to cool.  I like to use a grill mat to prevent my veggies from sticking to the grill.   You can grill the chicken at the same time.

Spread each wrap with 1 tbsp hummus, then top with the chicken and as many of the grilled veggies as you can fit into the wrap.  Roll up and enjoy!

Wasabi Chicken Wrpas

Wasabi Chicken Wraps

I cooked up a batch of shredded chicken the other day and wasn’t really sure what I was going to do with it. But shredded chicken is pretty versatile and super quick and easy to cook in the pressure cooker.
I found my inspiration for this online, but then adapted it to fit my goals!
Makes 2 wraps
🥄 1 c shredded chicken breast
🥄 ⁣1/4 c plain Greek yogourt
🥄 1 tsp garlic-ginger paste
🥄 ⁣1/4 tsp wasabi paste (adjust to taste)
🥄 2 whole wheat wraps
🥄 ⁣Thinly sliced red onion
🥄 Thinly sliced cucumber
Put the chicken breast, Greek yogourt, ginger-garlic lasted and wasabi into a mixing bowl and mix thoroughly.
Load each wrap with half of the chicken mixture, a few sliced of red onion and a few slices of cucumber.
Roll up each wrap and enjoy!

Chicken, Artichoke and Roasted Red Pepper Wraps

Chicken, Artichoke and a Roasted Red Pepper Wraps

I love taking a basic meal and stretching it into a couple of different variations. It’s efficient for prep and helps with variety. With the same batch of shredded chicken that I made my wasabi wraps with, I also made these wraps
Makes 2 wraps
🥄 1 c shredded chicken breast
🥄 ⁣1/4 c plain Greek yogourt
🥄 Salt and pepper to taste
🥄 ⁣1/2 canned artichoke heart, thinly sliced
🥄 2 tbsp sliced roasted red pepper
🥄 ⁣2 whole wheat wraps
Mix the chicken with the Greek yogourt, salt and pepper. Top each wrap with half of this mixture, half the artichoke and half the red pepper. Roll each wrap and enjoy!

Peanut Butter Greek Yogourt

So you could totally use this a dip (it would be perfect with sliced apple), but if you’re like me and just cannot get enough peanut butter, this is an awesome way to stretch that PB flavour into a full bowl of deliciousness.
Are you a die hard peanut butter lover like me? Let me know in the comments below what your favourite brand of peanut butter is!!
Serves 1
🥄 1 c Skyr
🥄 ⁣2 tbsp crunchy peanut butter
🥄 2 tbsp PB2
🥄 ⁣Liquid stevia to taste

Mix and enjoy.

Turkey Burgers with Havarti

by

Turkey Burgers with Havarti

Nothing crazy here – but I am giving a shout out to Havarti cheese! It’s one of my favourites…so gooey and melty – and tastes perfect on a turkey burger!
I keep my turkey burgers consistently simple, so that I can top them however I like:
🥄 1 lb extra lean ground turkey
🥄 ⁣2 zucchinis shredded and squeezed dry
🥄 Salt & pepper to taste
Shape into 3 burgers and grill! These make good big burgers – perfect to keep your lean protein intake high.
Top with a slice or two of havarti and enjoy! I love using either garden vegetable havarti or jalapeño flavour havarti.

Siracha Chicken Bowl

by

Siracha Chicken Bowl
I’ve made this with before with shredded chicken from my fridge, but this time I used cubed chicken breast and pan fried it. Tastes just as good, and was a little quicker than cooking and shredding chicken when I hadn’t planned this ahead of time.

Serves 1

🥄 1/2 c cooked brown rice, warm
🥄 ⁣1 small chicken breast, cut into small cubes
🥄 1 tbsp light mayo
🥄 ⁣1-2 tsp siracha sauce, adjusted to taste
🥄 1 green onion, sliced

Spray a frying pan quickly with non-stick cooking spray. Add the cubed chicken breast to the pan, and stir with a wooden spoon to cook. Once cooked, mix together the brown rice, chicken breast, siracha and mayo. Top with the green onion and enjoy.
