For me, balsamic vinegar, wine, and chicken go great together as all the flavors compliment each other very well. It's takes about 10 minutes to cook from start to finish. I served it with the gazpacho from last night's recipe.
7 Ounce boneless, skinless chicken breast, sliced thin
1/2 Red bell pepper, sliced thin
1/4 Red onion, julienned thin
1 Teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 Cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 Cup Riesling wine
1/2 Teaspoon salt
1 Teaspoon black pepper
Spray a nonstick pan with olive oil from the misto and heat on high. Add the chicken and sauté for 2 minutes. Add the red bell pepper, onion, garlic, salt, and pepper. Sauté unto the vegetables are tender. Move the food to one side of the pan and heat the empty side (half the pan is on the burner and half off). When the pan is very hot, add the wine and mix the food with the bubbling wine. Add the vinegar, mix and cook for a few more minutes then serve.
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!!
