Day 2: Balsamic Chicken with Roasted Basil and Tomatoes

Day 2 is complete!  I have to say I feel much more energized the last two days... I've gotten a lot of work done :)

My menu today:
Breakfast: Vegetable Omelet (without cheese!)
Snack 1: Apple
Lunch: Leftovers from Day 1
Snack 2: Spinach Salad
Dinner:  Below!

So this is one of the meals that I "prepped" but honestly there isn't much needed prep for this dinner.  Basically, I just made sure to cut all of the fat off of the chicken and place it in a ziplock bag in the freezer until the day that I was ready to eat it.

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.

I also lightly sauteed a bag of brocolli slaw (from Harris Teeter Produce Section) and ate that as my vegetable.

Because I already had my complex carb with lunch (and I try to only eat one per day)... I didn't have any sweet potatoes or rice tonight... however my parents, who aren't reeeeeeally on the challenge, ate some roasted sweet potatoes that I threw together.  I just diced 1 sweet potato, drizzled a little balsamic vinegar on it along with garlic, italian seasoning, sea salt and pepper.  I then covered them and roasted them in a 425 oven for about an hour.  I may have tasted one.... and they were so good!  ;)

Tomorrow's dinner is so simple... but I am so excited... Breakfast for dinner!  
Stay tuned.

Happy, Healthy Eating
