Clean Eating Chicken Salsa Stirfry

Chicken salsa stirfry

Servings Size: 1

Chicken breast piece, Thawed and cubed, seasoned with Ms. Dash

1 cup green bell pepper slices

1 small yellow onion

1 carrot diced

2 celery stalks diced

2 Tbsp Salsa (low sugar)

In a small skillet, add bell peppers, onion, carrots, and celery. Lightly salt (less than a tsp. To pull out the moisture in the veggies. Cook until the onions are starting to turn translucent. Add the seasoned cut chicken. Cook on med/high heat. When it starts to stick, add water to deglaze the pan and help cook the chicken. The amount of water is a personal decision. I used about ¼ a cup at first, then it evaporated and I added another ¼ of a cup. By the time that one almost evaporated the chicken was fully cooked, the veggies were softer and I then added my salsa. Cooked a little more reducing the liquid (which also concentrates the flavor). Then served. This would be good in romaine lettuce leaves as tacos. But I just ate it as a stir-fry. No rice, no noodles. Just veggies and meat. It was spicy and delicious

Progress on Biggest Loser

My progress on Biggest loser is slow and steady. The first two weeks I lost a lot, but now I'm at a pretty steady loss of one or two pounds a week. I've currently lost  15 pounds in 5 weeks, and average of 3 pounds a week. I'm trying to make healthier choices. I don't always succeed but I'm working on it. This is definitely a process.

I have created some healthy recipes that are part of my new clean eating habits. I will work on posting those soon. I hope you enjoy them. They are very tasty and full of flavor. I know that is what a lot of people tell me about their diets or habits of eating healthy is that they have no flavor. These recipes are full of flavor and really good for you.
