Hey guys,
How was your workout yesterday? I had a killer leg workout.... walking funny today and stairs are a disaster! But with only 11 weeks before my competition I was up at 430 and off to the gym for back and cardio before work!
My schedule is so super busy these days it can be tough to keep the diet on track. Here is a super easy HEALTHY yummy recipe to make and take.
Chicken Kale Wraps
Serves 4
INGREDIENTS
3tablespoons balsamic vinegar
3tablespoons light brown sugar
2teaspoons cornstarch
2teaspoons Dijon mustard
1teaspoon salt
2boneless, skinless chicken breasts (6 oz each)
1cup yellow squash, diced
1cup mango, diced
16 kale leaves (Lacinato or Italian)
2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
16 toothpicks
PREPARATION
In a bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar, 3 tbsp light brown sugar, 2 tsp cornstarch, 2 tsp Dijon mustard and 1 tsp salt. Toss in 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (6 oz each), cut into long, thin strips. Heat a large skillet over high heat; add 1 tbsp olive oil and reduce heat to medium. Cook chicken strips in marinade, stirring often, until liquid is mostly absorbed, 3 to 4 minutes. In another bowl, combine 1 cup each diced yellow squash and diced mango. Place 2 large Lacinato or Italian kale leaves on counter with edges overlapping. Top with 1/8 of the chicken and 1/4 cup squash and mango mixture; fold over leaves to close and secure with 2 toothpicks. Repeat to make 8 wraps. In same skillet, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over high heat. Add wraps; cover and cook to soften kale, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve immediately.
