Backstory:
So I’m on a quest to get some aBS (lol) and I followed that oft-repeated (and true) saying that “abs are made in the kitchen”. So in that spirit, I’ve starred having high-Protein low-carb meals and I’m trying to not have carbs post 6 PM. And I got tired of plain old chicken salads after just 2 days. I decided to zuzhhh it up and broooo this recipe is SO delicious, you won’t cry about eating healthy
You need:
- 100 GMs chicken breast
- Spice rub of your choice (salt + pepper also works)
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 4 iceberg lettuce leaves
- 1/4 bell pepper
- 6-7 cherry tomatoes
- 3-4 olives
- 5-6 toasted pecans (or walnuts)
For the dressing:
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp vinegar
How to:
1. Add salt & pepper (or spice mix of your choice) to your chicken
2. Toast pecans/walnuts until it gives off that nutty smell. Be careful not to burn (been there toooo many times)
3. Set nuts aside and heat the same pan with a little oil, & add your chicken, cooking cook until golden brown (should take about 5-7 minutes)
4. Set chicken aside to cool
5. Chop up lettuce, iceberg lettuce, bell peppers & cherry tomatoes
6. In a small bowl, make your dressing by adding olive oil, vinegar, salt & pepper and stir until salt dissolved
7. In a bowl add your chopped veggies, toasted nuts & olives
8. Drizzle salad dressing over the veggies and then toss to make sure it gets mixed in well. You can just stir things around with a fork if you don’t have a salad tosser
9. Add cooked chicken. Make sure your chicken is not hot. Hot meat + cold veggies in a bowl makes the veggies ultra soggy & chicken bland)
10. Enjoy!
