I bought a new recipe book called The Official SirtFood Diet. It’s a guidebook to eating more foods that kickstart fat burning and it’s full of delicious healthy recipes. I hope you enjoy it! WATCH, LIKE, COMMENT
INGREDIENTS:
1/4 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast
2 teaspoons ground turmeric
Juice of 1/4 lemon
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
3/4 cup kale, chopped
1/8 cup red onion, sliced
1 teaspoon chopped fresh ginger
1/3 cup buckwheat
CHILI SALSA
1 medium tomato
1 Thai chili, finely chopped
1 tablespoon capers, finely chopped
2 tablespoon parsley, finely chopped
Juice of 1/4 lemon
COOKING
- To make the salsa, remove the eye from the tomato and chop it very finely, taking care to keep as much of the liquid as possible.
- Mix the chili, capers, parsley, and lemon juice. You can also pop everything into a blender.
- Heat oven to 425 degrees.
- Marinate chicken breast in 1 teaspoon of the turmeric, lemon juice, and a little olive oil. Let sit for 5-10 min.
- Heat ovenproof frying pan until hot, then add the marinated chicken and cook for about 1 min on each side until pale golden. NOTE: I have no idea what pale golden is supposed to look like. The book has no photos, which scares me!
- Transfer chicken to the oven (or place on a baking tray if your pan isn’t ovenproof) for 8-10 min or until cooked through.
- Remove from oven, cover with foil, and leave to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- Meanwhile, cook the kale in a steamer for 5 min.
- I don’t have a steamer, so I Googled “how to steam vegetables in the microwave.”
- In a microwave safe bowl, add a thin layer water, cover with plastic wrap and warm on high for 2 min.
- I don’t have a steamer, so I Googled “how to steam vegetables in the microwave.”
- Fry the red onions and the ginger in a little olive oil until soft but not browned (what?)
- Add the cooked kale and fry for another minute.
- Cook buckwheat according to the package instruction with the remaining teaspoon of turmeric. ( I didn’t have buckwheat)
- Serve alongside the chicken, vegetables, and salsa.
