Balsamic Chicken Breast


The past few nights I have been eating supper very late - like after 9:00PM. Now I know it's probably not good to eat so close to bed time, but I have to eat something right?!

So last night I had thawed some chicken breast and I didn't feel like making a stir fry. I took a look in my cupboard and I saw the balsamic vinegar I got from my dad that I hadn't really used yet. I put about 1-2 tablespoons in a small bowl and mixed it up with an equal amount of olive oil. I put the 3 chicken breasts in a small casserole dish and seasoned them with salt and pepper, garlic powder, and my Oh So Onion seasoning. I then poured the oil and vinegar over them and moved the chicken around to get the oil underneath them so they didn't stick. I remembered I had minced garlic in the fridge so I sprinkled a little bit on top of each one. I also sprinkled rosemary on top too. Preheat your oven to 350F and cover the dish with aluminum foil. I cooked them for 20 minutes and checked on them, then I let them cook for about 5 minutes longer and turned off the oven but left them in there while my potatoes and broccoli were still cooking. (Ovens vary so make sure you check that they're cooked completely!)

I had added some water to the dish so the chicken would be moist, so I drained a bit of that out when I checked on them after the 20 minutes. Here's the final result:















I made enough for 2 dinners and my lunch. Or I'll probably end up taking the last one for lunch tomorrow.

They turned out pretty good considering I just added random stuff, haha! I hope you enjoy them and let me know how they turned out if you do make them :)

(Only 3 more sleeps until Jamaica!!!!)

I still haven't figured out how I'm going to do my Turbo Fire while I'm there =/ I know there is a gym there but I really REALLY like Turbo Fire. It's so much more fun than running. Hmm... I'll figure something out >:)

Cheers!!~

Quinoa salad and hummus

Image
I was at Costco yesterday to return some fuzzy (moldy) avocados and I wanted to pick up some hummus. On my way to the coolers I walked past their pre-mixed salads and saw this quinoa salad. I know it's more cost efficient to make it myself but I wanted something quick.

Free Workout Schedule - 1 Week

Image
This is my go-to program when I don't know what to do and when I still want results. My arms get  CARVED when I follow this program as well as my legs. I do these as circuits - meaning I do one exercise and move onto the next completing all exercises and then repeat again for as many times as I can or have time for. Aim for 2-4 rounds depending on your fitness level and time. This is a 4 day split and you can use it however fits your schedule: Day #1 - biceps, triceps, shoulders Day #2 - legs & abs Day #3 - back, chest, shoulders Day #4 - plyo & abs You can do this every day for 4 days on, 3 days off. You can do them every other day. Or you can just do it whenever you have time to do a workout! Some of the exercise do use a cable machine but you can easily swap them out for dumbbell or band exercises. Just make sure you're working the same muscles or muscle group. I love this split because it is so flexible and can work for so many people.
