Day 2 - Spanish style chicken breasts with green beans

I must have been overeating for a long time but I don't remember being so hungry when on a 1300 calorie diet. Yikes. Went through a bunch of calorieking blogs today for inspiration and listened in to a Jillian Michaels podcast (she has some interesting ideas!).

Oh, and I bidded on some bathroom scales from ebay. Must soldier on!

I've come to realise that alcohol was the big calorie killer for me, started drinking so much more in the last year++. Am contemplating an alcohol free 3 months... shall see!

Anyway, made a yummy dinner tonight with some chicken boobies and beans. Happy with the result, definitely will make again.

Spanish-style chicken breasts with green beans
Serves 1
200g chicken breasts cut into 3 pieces lengthwise
1/2 tsp paprika
1 tbsp fresh sage
1 tsp smoked salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
Juice from 1/4 lemon
250g fresh green beans
1/2 cup chicken stock

Mix paprika, sage, salt and pepper with lemon juice into a paste. Rub chicken with paste and marinate for around 30 min.

Turn over to 200C and make a foil envelope to hold green beans and chicken stock. Stick it in the oven for 30 min or so (from a cold oven).

Spray non-stick pan with oil. Pan-fry chicken breasts on medium high heat for about 3 minutes each side.

Serve!
