Day 2
Breakfast
2 Poached Eggs
Salt + Pepper
Lunch
Salad - greens, parmigiano, grilled chicken, beets, red onion, balsamic
Dinner - I find that whenever you seriously cut back on carbs and fats, you really have to re-introduce a lot of flavor. For that very reason, Mexican inspired food offers a great solution. Packed with heat and flavor, this meal was satisfying, while still light. Take note that I picked up some carbs by using tortillas, but I went with whole wheat instead of processed flour.
3 8-inch Whole Wheat Tortillas
2 Small Chicken Breasts, diced
1 Tablespoon Canola Oil
1 Tablespoon Chile Powder
1 Teaspoon Cumin Powder
1/2 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
1/2 Teaspoon Ground Pepper
Prepared Salsa
Reduced Fat Cheddar Cheese, grated
In a skillet, brown chicken over medium high heat - add seasoning, along with a tablespoon or two of water and mix until thoroughly combined and cooked through - about 5 - 7 minutes. Meanwhile, heat tortillas either in oven, or in the microwave on HIGH for 20 seconds to make them pliable. Spoon seasoned chicken into the tortillas and top with desired condiments. Serve.
