Chicken Caprese

This was a huge hit in the household! My husband is a picky eater and this one was very easy and very delicious. He approved and I will be making it again! Next time, I will try with chicken breasts.

Ingredients

• 1 cup of balsamic vinegar
• 5 or 6 chicken thighs (I used bone-in, skin-on; but you can use boneless skinless, or chicken breasts)
• 8 oz fresh mozzarella cheese
• 2 medium tomatoes
• fresh basil
• salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 tbsp olive oil

Directions

1. In a small saucepan, bring balsamic vinegar to a simmer over medium-low heat. Reduce heat to low or as needed and simmer partially covered for about 20 minutes, until vinegar has reduced to a thicken glaze. Remove from heat.
2. While the vinegar is simmering, prepare the chicken. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
3. In a large saute pan, add the tbsp of olive oil. I also added a little butte. Once melted and butter begins to sizzle, add chicken to pan and cook for 3-4 minutes each side. Depends on chicken thickness, you may have to add chicken to oven to fully cook. 
4. Top each chicken with slice of mozzarella. If still in the skillet, cover with lid until cheese is melted. If in oven, add cheese and take out when melted. 
5. Top each with slice of fresh tomato and basil. 
6. Drizzle the balsamic glaze and serve! 

Eat up! Enjoy!

Popcorn

Cheesy popcorn, buttery popcorn, salty popcorn.... all of the above please! Do you crave popcorn when you go to the movies or watch a movie at home or just hungry at the office and need a snack? I do. Like really do. When I started to be conscious of what I eat, my gut sank thinking I had to cut this out all together. 

As it turns out, popcorn is one of the healthiest snacks. YES, you heard me right!! HEALTHY! Do you know why? 

1. Polyphenols, which have numerous health benefits, including the prevention of degenerative diseases such as osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, cancer neurodegenerative diseases and diabetes. 
2. Whole grains, which contains healthy oils, vitamin E, protein, and many B vitamins and minerals.
3. Fiber. Popcorn has about 4 grams of dietary fiber for every 4 cups of popcorn! A good fiber intake helps you stay regular, lower your risk of cardiovascular disease, reduce blood cholesterol, and lower your risk of type 2 diabetes by regulating blood sugar.

Although I keep saying, "popcorn is healthy so eat it!," you have to be careful of all the extras that are known to be on popcorn: butter, caramel, cheese, kettle corn, microwaves, oils, etc. 

The healthy alternatives: make it yourself! Stay away from the microwave boxes. Use an air popper, or pop with oil and season with sea salt or a very SMALL amount of butter, if you don't like it plain. 

Autumn Calabrese's 21 Day Fix popcorn hack: 

1. Drizzle extra virgin coconut oil on air popped popcorn. 
2. Mix.
3. Sprinkle with cinnamon and nutmeg.
4. Mix again.

• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp fresh basil, chopped (also can use seasoning if you don't have fresh)
• Sea salt and pepper to taste

• Italian seasoned panko crumbs (ok, this might not make it 21 Day Fix approved but I count it as a yellow)

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. 
2. Combine the ricotta, spinach, tomatoes, parmesan, basil, garlic, salt, and pepper and mix thoroughly. 
3. Rinse the chicken breasts and cut a long horizontal slit along the center of the chicken breast. 
4. Fill with cheese mixture.
