Grilled Chicken & Steamed Broccoli

Hello My Food Lovers!!! I'm sorry I've been wrapped around my books and family here in the past few weeks and it's caused me to post these recipes late. This here is my version of a healthy lunch or dinner. Notice that there are no carbs just protein and greens. It's what I like to call Lean and Green. Honestly, I started eating healthier because I wanted to feel like my old self again. The stamina I had when I was still carrying around that baby weight was just bringing me down so I decided to change my diet, control my cravings and hit the gym. I gotta say, it worked!! I'm about 5'6 and I can proudly say I'm 122 lbs. For so long I was stuck at 125 lbs. and I finally got myself to lose three more pounds (though I still have 2 more pounds to lose to feel closer to what I weighted before pregnancy, I'm happy to know that my healthy decisions will surely get me there soon). Anyways, I thought I should share my story with you so that I can possibly encourage you to eat healthier and lose that extra weight that may be killing your stamina. From here on, I will try to post any tested healthy recipe for you guys so that you may go onto my blog and not have to think about what to make for dinner and have it be healthy all at the same time. First, I would like to urge you to invest in a good electric grill. I've had my Wolf Gang Puck grill/griddle for a few years now and it's helped me in so many ways. It seriously makes cooking easy and fast!! Even before I start prepping I just turn it on and then by the time I'm ready to grill, it's hot and ready. Ok, here is the recipe for this delicious and moist grilled chicken with steamed broccoli: You'll need: (for 2 people) 2 chicken breast (I always rim off all of the fat and skin) salt pepper cayenne pepper lemon juice garlic powder onion powder red chili flakes Method: Lay chicken on a cutting board and sprinkle with salt and pepper on both sides. In a small bowl combine 1 tsp. cayenne pepper, 2 Tbsp. Lemon juice, 1 Tbsp. Garlic Powder, 1 Tbsp Onion Powder and 1 tsp. chili flakes. It will be like a paste, rub both pieces of chicken with this paste and let it marinate for at least 30 mins in the refrigerator so that the flavor is intensified. Once marinated, grill the chicken at 375F for about 6-7 mins. depending on the size of the chicken. Towards the end of the cooking time, I like to cover the chicken with a steel bowl to keep it moist and all the juices in. For Broccoli: Steam the Broccoli and sprinkle with salt and pepper and lemon zest. I really hope I can help those who struggle to lose weight especially after having a baby. I know how hard it is, I've been there. But honestly, it all begins with what you eat.
