Sauteed Chicken for salads or snacks

Ingredients:

1 lb chicken tenderloins washed and trimmed of fat
2 small lemons or 1 large
Garlic Powder
Black Pepper
Tony's Seasoning
2 tbs Extra Virgin Olive Oil or Olive Oil Pam

Heat EVOO or Pam in large skillet to Med High heat. Once chicken has been washed and trimmed, season with garlic powder, black pepper and Tony's seasoning. Be sure to season both sides but dont over do it! Place chicken in skillet. While cooking roll both lemons on the counter top to get the juices flowing and then cut in halves. Squeeze all 4 halves over chicken in skillet. Chicken tenderloins need to cook about 4 to 5 mins on each side.  I tend to cook mine a little longer because I like it to have a charred look and cause I'm scared of under cooked meat, haha.

 These are great over a salad with cucumbers, black olives, cherry tomatoes, and red onion. The lemon really pumps up the flavor. Beware of most salad dressings. I like to mix 1 tbs lite or fat free ranch with salsa for my dressing.


I know this sounds easy but I understand some people just don't like to cook or have never been taught properly so hopefully this will be beneficial to some.

Turkey Chili

Ingredients:

2lbs ground turkey (breast/ all white meat)
1 onion chopped
1 bellpepper chopped
2 cans rotel
1 can black beans drained and rinsed
1 can diced tomatoes
1 cup water (add as much or as little as needed)
1 Package McCormick Chili Seasoning

I like to add a little extra seasoning but this is optional:
Garlic Powder
Cummin
Chili Powder
Black Pepper

In a large skillet brown turkey and season with garlic powder and black pepper.  Once meat is browned evenly combine with all other ingredients in large pot or slow cooker.

On the stove:
Bring to a boil and then reduce heat and let simmer for 1 to 3 hours. Or as long as you can wait..! Stirring periodically. 

Crockpot:
Be sure to have slow cooker already heated before adding hot ingredients. Cook on high for 30 mins and then low for 3 to 4hrs.

This makes a lot and should last for a few days. And it can make a great snack as well! Be sure to stay away from the cheddar cheese, sour cream, and chips!!!
I like to add a little parmesan or fat free cream cheese if I'm needed a little something extra! Jalapenos are yummy too if you like a little heat!

Coach Jamie's Flaxseed Muffin

Ingredients:

3 tbl milled or ground flaxseed
1 egg
2 tbl no sugar added applesauce
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 scoop of your favorite protein powder
1 stevia (optional)

Combine all ingredients in a coffee mug. Mix well. Cook in microwave for 45 second intervals. Checking between each interval. Cook until muffin has risen completely. Flip coffee mug over onto plate and the muffin should come right out.

I love to have this for breakfast with my banana scream protein powder, spray butter and 1 tbl sugar free syrup. It hits the spot when you're craving some yummy carbs.

Try adding blueberries or walnuts. Be creative! And thanks Coach Jambo!!!
