Well folks, the South Beach diet is going pretty good. We started the week out really good, but due to lack of planning on our part, we fudged a little during the weekend. I can happily say though, that I have lost 5 pound since starting last Tuesday. Don't know if that is water weight or what, but I'll take anything I can get. Here is a really easy and tasty recipe we tried last Thursday night. The boys, especially Jens LOVED it. I think his comment was something like: "if this is diet food, we should eat more like this".
Grilled Chicken
serves 2
Ingredients:
2 chicken breasts, boneless, skinless
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 clove garlic, sliced
1 1/2 leaves of fresh sage
1/2 tablespoon rosemary, finely chopped
1/2 tablespoon red wine vinegar
freshly ground pepper, to taste
1 tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions:
In a small bowl mix the sage, rosemary, garlic, vinegar, the extra virgin olive oil, pepper, and lemon juice. Rub the chicken with the marinade, then place chicken and marinade in a large resealable plastic bag. Place in refrigerator, turning every 15 minutes for a total of 1 hour. While chicken is marinating, bring your grill up to high heat.
When ready to cook, remove chicken from bag, discarding rest of contents. Place chicken 6 inches over grill; turn the chicken over every few minutes. Cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center, and the juices run clear. Divide chicken onto 2 serving plates, serve.
