Well so much for getting back in the groove like I said I was last week! Since my last post I’ve been slacking all around in the diet department, the blogging department, and the cooking department. Too much eating out and a lack of fresh groceries in the house has caused me to gain 2 lbs. at this week’s weigh-in…*sigh*! But, I have no one to blame but myself. So here is my attempt to once again get back in the groove with eating better, cooking yummy food for me & Hubby and sticking to my blogging.
Tonight’s dinner consisted of a simple yet very flavorful chicken dish served with a side of grilled veggies. This chicken was inspired by the Grilled Lemon Thyme Lamb Chops recipe I posted a while back. To make it “slimmed down” I eliminated the oil and used rosemary instead of thyme (only because I ran out of fresh thyme, but had the rosemary). Since there is no oil and a minimal amount of lemon juice the Weight Watchers Points Plus is equal to the amount of chicken you use. So for this recipe I used 4 ounces of boneless skinless chicken breast (weighed before grilling) which is a WWPP value of 3.
Grilled Lemon Rosemary Chicken (1 serving = 3 WWPP)
4 oz. boneless, skinless chicken breast
Juice of ½ lemon
1-2 cloves garlic
¼ tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
2 tbsp. fresh rosemary leaves
-
Add all the ingredients to a blender and blend until well combined and garlic and rosemary is chopped.
-
Place chicken in a glass dish and pour the mixture over the chicken. Allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
-
Preheat grill to medium high and grill chicken until done (internal temperature of 165 degrees).
