Sour Cream Avocado Chicken
So this past week I stuck to my BBC meals once
again. This time around it was spicy tuna potato cakes with veggies, chicken
marsala with quinoa and chicken alfredo with brown rice and broccoli pilaf. I
think the chicken alfredo was most definitely my favorite. After sticking to
these meals, I have lost a total of five pounds. Due to having to take some
time off from work, I received a smaller check and unfortunately wasn’t able to
order meals for this coming month. But I
am very happy with the results and I believe it was definitely worth the
investment. So this coming week I’m going to use what I learned from BBC which
is cooking smaller portions, making gluten free recipes, and above all, making
it interesting. One dish that I’ll be making for Monday and Tuesday is sour
cream avocado chicken with Brussels sprout coleslaw. For this I will be using
the raw frozen chicken tenders from HEB. You can get a big bag of these for $9.00.
For this recipe you’re going to grill two chicken tenders with olive oil and
Tone’s coconut lime seasoning. The coconut lime seasoning is absolutely
delicious with its sweet zesty flavor. It also pairs well with the way the
avocado is prepared which I’ll explain next. So for the avocado spread you’ll
need two avocados, three garlic cloves, two tablespoons of sour cream and one
lemon. Once you’ve pitted your avocados, you’re going to toss them into a food
processor, or any type of blender will work just fine, along with the sour cream,
three garlic cloves and the lemon’s juice. You can also add a pinch of salt to
enhance the flavor. Once it’s blended to a smooth creamy consistency, you’re
going to spread it on top of your cooked chicken tenders. For the Brussels
sprout coleslaw, what you’ll need is about five Brussels sprouts, depending on
much you want to make, raisons, chopped almonds, Dijon mustard, white wine
vinegar and salt. Once you’ve chopped up your Brussels sprouts, you’re going to
mix them with about half a cup of raisons, two table spoons of white wine
vinegar, half a cup of chopped almonds, and I’ve always just eye-balled the Dijon
mustard until it seems like a good amount. As long as the coleslaw is covered
with the Dijon mustard once you’ve mixed all the ingredients, you should be
good. Just a pinch of salt and viola! Your meal is ready to be devoured. This
is a delicious wholefood recipe that’s rich in flavor, yet guilt-free. I will
be sharing more recipes from this coming week on my next blog so stay tuned.
