Balsmic Chicken with Roasted Basil and Tomatoes

Greetings from the beach!  Eating healthy can certainly be a challenge when you're on vacation... especially if you're on a 24 Day Challenge, you never know for sure how things are being cooked or what is on it... and it seems like the only things you can eat are the blandest, most boring things on the menu.  My solution?  We got a lovely hotel with a kitchen and we have literally made every meal thusfar!  And honestly, we've made way more yummy things than I could've gotten out at a restaurant.  Plus... we still get to eat ocean front!

So far we've had a few repeats... we've done the turkey chili (which is a great one pot, quick meal for a vacation), we've also done the buffalo chicken quesadillas.  The meal we had last night was incredible and easy but I cannot take credit for it.  My best friend who came along on the trip played chef last night and the outcome was amazing!



Balsamic Chicken and Roasted Cherry Tomatoes
Advocare 24 Day Challenge Safe (Cleanse or Max Phase)

3 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
1 container Cherry (or Grape) Tomatoes
1/4 cup Balsamic Vinegar
1/4 cup chopped Basil (We used fresh)

Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add chicken, once boil returns let it go for 10 minutes or until the chicken is white through.  While the chicken is cooking, chop the basil and cut the tomatoes into halves.  Next, cut the chicken into strips and place on baking sheet, scatter the tomatoes around the baking sheet.  Top with balsamic vinegar and basil.  Put in a 425 degree oven for about 5 minutes... or until the tomatoes are tender.  We also had Alexia's Frozen Sweet Potato Tater Tots and it all went great together! 

Enjoy!  And Happy, Healthy Eating
