Lemon Pepper Chicken.

Hello again all, I hope you're all having a good week. 
I'm really on a roll this week, eating well, planning a preparing meals, training hard & regularly and starting to see results!

I have had chicken for dinner every night this week, but it hasn't been boring or repetitive because I've had it with different things every night.

This recipe is definitely a new favourite of mine. So simple, so healthy, so good!!


  • Section your Chicken into portions, and place in a container (I have 2 breasts to a portion)
  • Squeeze the juice of half a Lemon onto the Chicken
  • Season with lots of freshly grounded black pepper 
  • And optional add Chilli Flakes
  • Refrigerate your Chicken until ready to cook
  • Place in an oven dish, cover with foil and cook! 

I hope you enjoy this one as much as I do!
Here are some serving suggestions;




1)With Butternut squash & Sweet potato wedges, Salad with Antipasti & soft boiled Egg and Peas.




With Sweet potato wedges, fresh Salad and antipasti. I added peri peri salt to the Chicken before cooking!




With a fresh Salad made of Watercress, Spinach, Iceberg, Green Beans, raw Beetroot, Butternut Squash, Pepper, Cucumber, Avocado, Red Onion & Anitipasti mix. 


DELICIOUS!!

Bacon & Garlic Potato Salad!

Hello everybody! I hope you're all enjoying the summer as much as I am. I've had so much good food and am enjoying some outdoor bootcamp sessions too! I sure do love the summer!

The other weekend me and some of the girls threw a surprise baby shower for our friend, it was a lovely sunny day and we had a table full of party food. I made my standard home made Coleslaw, and a huge bowl of my Quacamole. 
I also decided to try a new dish and made a potato salad. Not just a regular potato salad, but a Bacon & Garlic Potato Salad!

It was seriously easy, so no excuses- Get making it for this weekends activities! Or even weekday meals/lunches!


RECIPE

Salad Potatoes ~ halved 
Red onion ~ sliced thinly
Garlic cloves ~ 4 diced
Bacon (Turkey or pork) ~ Cooked and sliced
Chives ~ fresh and snipped small 
Mayonaise ~ 2 tablespoons 

Please note: I wish I could say that the Mayonaise was super healthy, or organic, or home made.... But actually it was just regular low fat mayo. My new rule is to not be too strict on the finer details, a little bit of something added to a meal isn't going to hurt me too much, especially as it means I stick to the healthy eating for longer as I'm enjoying my food! 
HEALTHY EATING SHOULDN'T FEEL LIKE HARD WORK!! 


So I boiled the whole bag of halved Salad Potatoes,
Whilst frying my sliced Onion & diced Garlic in olive oil (and salt and pepper),
And whilst grilling my Bacon until it was crispy,
I sliced the Bacon and then transferred all ingredients into a big tub with a lid, 
Added the mayo, fresh chives and lots of pepper,
Then shook the pot really hard in all directions for a minute or 2 to mix, but also soften/crush, the potatoes.
Serve immediately or eat cold. 


ENJOY!!!
