Hello Friends,
I have decided to do a second Figure Competition this fall, and so that means just a few short weeks until I shift back to a competition diet. It's obviously very controlled in terms of macros (protein, fat and carbs).
I have enjoyed the freedom of the last few months, mostly eating healthy but some 'cheats' in there too! It's been a mental struggle for me to put on the weight my trainer assigned in order to build muscle and mass before dieting down again. It sounds odd but I actually function better on a controlled diet. Chicken and fish are the staples and so I am on mission to collect as many 'legal' chicken recipes as possible in order to keep my palate happy over the next few months.
I'm cooking this one up right now, (it smells amazing!) I saw a version of it on Pinterest, and thought it would be an easy way to add some flavour and convenience to the weeks of chicken meals that lay ahead.
It's pretty simple...Rub a 9X13 pan with some extra virgin coconut oil.
Chop up peppers and onions (I will enjoy red and yellow peppers right now, but come diet time it's green only!)
Toss with Mrs. Dash, Spicy Southwest Chipotle seasoning. Now add your protein of choice ~ CHICKEN ~
I sprinkled with chili powder and some cumin and gave it a couple of blasts of PAM so it would adhere.
Toss it all together, cover with aluminum foil and bake at 400 for half an hour.
Easy bake fajitas. Cook up a big batch on Sunday then use all week! Put the mixture in a wrap, on some rice, on a salad or just eat on it's own. (hot or cold) Topped with some fat free greek yogurt and salsa. You could add corn, black beans, whatever your little heart desires.
I'm thinking this will be a very versatile base for a number of seasonings, why not try curry, italian or even asian flavours. The possibilities are endless!
Enjoy.
