Next is the cooking or nutrition part of the weight lose and it is simple nutrition, nothing fancy here. Common everyday foods, I don't shop at a speciality store or pay big bucks for Foo Foo foods. I look for recipes that are quick, easy, and have "normal" ingredients, otherwise, I'll get pushback from the kiddos, ya know what I mean?
This recipe didn't take 10 minutes to throw together and was ready to put on the table by the time the kids had their homework done, so that is 2 positive check marks from me. Give it a go and tell me what you think ;)
HONEY CUMIN CHICKEN
(Makes 4 servings)
- 2 Tbsp raw honey
- 2 Tbsp 100% orange juice
- 4 (4-oz) each raw chicken breasts, boneless, skinless
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- Sea salt and ground black pepper (to taste;optional)
- Preheat grill to medium
- Combine honey and orange juice in a small bowl; whisk to blend. Set aside.
- Brush each chicken breast lightly with oil. Sprinkle both sides evenly with cumin, salt, and pepper.
- Place chicken on grill; cook, without turning, for 5 minutes. When chicken releases easily from the grill, turn, cook for an additional 3 minutes.
- Reduce grill heat to low. Brush chicken evenly with honey mixture. Be careful, honey will burn if exposed to flames. Grill until a meat thermometer inserted into the center of each breast reads 160 degrees. Remove from grill.
- Let Chicken rest 5 minutes before serving.
