So after our big wrestling banquet last night (Great boys and MUCH to be proud of...), we decided to cook something healthy and lean! Not sure, if it was because of the beautiful scale for future "weigh ins" that was gifted to the team, or the fact that every wrestler "weighed in"... but, tonight, Stevie wanted no carbs, and tons of protein.
So, tonight it was one of our quick, favorite "go-to" dinners... delicious succulent, oven roasted chicken... done right!
Some people think chicken is boring, but if you cook it right, and season it well, you'd eat it every night! And your body would thank you because it's packed with lean protein!! Tonight we took our "buy one get 2 free" chicken breasts and seasoned with some olive oil, and sprinkled generously with salt, fresh ground pepper, garlic powder, and thyme. Simple!!
Pop all that chicken into a 350 degree oven for about 45 minutes to an hour... depending on how massive your breasts are. These were pretty big...breasts.... so I left them in for about an hour. (So, I just wrote about big... breasts.... while you might think I'm a 13 year old boy in Jr. High... I am NOT... I am a very serious food blogger writing about chicken, now get your mind out of the gutter and pay attention!).
When the chicken is cooked let it rest for at least 10 minutes so it stays moist and juicy! I just park it on the counter covered in foil while I put together another quick favorite "go-to" side... salad! Tonight's salad couldn't be easier!
Tonight I had some greens and carrots and sliced up a cucumber to go with it. But, to jazz up that salad into a side dish with some street cred, we added some tortellini and edemamae!
These are my two favorite things to have on hand, because they take 5 minutes to cook, and make other things special and yummy! Frozen tortellini and edemamae! AND... packed with protein, thank you edemame!! And here are my two MOST FAVORITE THINGS TO HAVE ON HAND!!
These two boys... who's effort and discipline this wrestling season left me breathless! WOW! So tonight's super quick, easy, healthy, hearty and delicious dinner is simple chicken and salad...make this chicken for your adorable wrestler, or someone you LOVE!! AND... Your welcome... for getting a peek at these amazing athletes!
