It's been a rough week and I've only been cooking very simple food or eating leftovers. Hopefully I'll be back in the saddle! This recipe calls for kale. Kale can be kind of bitter so eating it isn't for everyone. You can use spinach in place of kale and it won't effect the calorie count by much.
6 Ounces of ground chicken breast
2 Cups of kale, chopped
1/2 Red onion, half of it diced, half of it sliced
1 Jalapeño pepper, seeded and diced
1 Yellow pepper, seeded (you can really use any color you want) with the top cut off and diced
2 Plum tomatos, diced
1 Teaspoon of chopped garlic
1 Teaspoon of black pepper
1 Teaspoon of oregano
1/2 Teaspoon of salt
1/2 Teaspoon of sage
Splash of vegetable broth
Splash of Riesling wine
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a mixing bowl combine chicken, the dicedonion, jalapeño, garlic, and spices. Mix well and stuff the pepper. Place pepper on cookie sheet (you may need to fold up a piece of foil and place under the pepper so it will stand up straight) and bake until done. Approximately 25-35 minutes. The top should get brown.
While the pepper is cooking, spray a nonstick pan with the misto and heat the pan on high. Add onion and sauté for two minutes. Add tomatos and sauté for two more minutes. Add kale and the splashes or wine and vegetable broth. Cook until tender. Salt and pepper to taste.
Serves 1
Why do this?
DO WORK! It's a saying used to motivate people, particularly at the gym, or in my case, at CrossFit.
DO EAT! In my experience, when people work out they are afraid to eat. In reality, it's not the case. It's more that they don't know what to eat. It's ok to eat. In fact, when you're working out, you HAVE to eat!
Over two years ago, I got fed up with how I looked and felt so I decided to embark on a "lifestyle change" (I refuse to say diet). That included exercise and eating right. Over the years, I have learned a lot about nutrition, what to eat and what not to eat. By no means do I claim to be a nutritional expert. I'm just some schmo that's learned from reading and speaking with people that are smarter than me.
That being said, I've developed various recipes using natural and organic ingredients that were not only lower in calories and tasted great, but are also good for you!
CrossFit is supposed to be hard, eating right shouldn't be! So work hard and DO EAT!!
