Chicken Cacciatore

Time to fill everyone in on what's been happening in my life. Thanksgiving turned out delicious. For the most part, I ate paleo. WAY TO MUCH! That's okay though cause I went to bed at 8pm that evening and was still tired Friday morning. Is that a food coma? I'm not sure what a food coma really is but I imagine its something like that.

So at Crossfit GP we have been doing this strength bias cycle, its awesome, but its also ripping me apart. Good news is, I'M GETTING STRONGER! Although walking around regularly and getting up and down my stairs is difficult at times. I wouldn't have it any other way. I am so thankful to not be injured anymore and be able to workout regularly. It makes me happy. :)

Our weekends lately have consisted of a little too much alcohol intake. Not that it isn't fun, but MAN. The recovery when you get older takes too long. We went out Saturday night with a group of friends from the box and drank way too much. Not to mention I took a shot of something I shouldn't have that caused me to have a headache for 24 hours. LAME. Thinking its time to slow my roll down a little bit and ride my bike or something.

Kitchen project is still underway. I have been slacking on these doors. But its okay, the fact that I don't have doors doesn't really bother me too much. So I'll get to it. Do you guys like the Beiber song "Beauty and a beat"? I LOVE IT. Everyone makes fun of me, but ever since I saw him perform it on the music awards, I love it. You people would too if you'd get over the fact that its Beiber. Everyone loves to hate on the Beibs.

I just made myself the MOST amazing breakfast, two fried eggs and sweet potato pancakes. Um YUM!

Chicken Cacciatore

2 lbs skinless, boneless chicken breasts

4 roasted red peppers (from the jar), chopped

1 14oz can fire roasted tomatoes

1 14oz can tomato sauce

2 tbsp olive oil

1 cup beef broth

4 garlic cloves, minced

1 yellow onion, diced

2 bay leaves

1 tsp crushed red pepper

1 tsp dried parsley

1 tsp dried tarragon

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

salt & pepper

 

Preheat your oven to 350F.

 

Lay chicken breasts in baking dish sprinkle with pepper and drizzle olive oil, bake for 25 minutes until cooked through. While your chicken is cooking on your stove top bring a large saucepan with olive oil for medium heat. Add your garlic and onion and cook down until onion is soft. Next add all remaining ingredients and stir to incorporate all the spices. Once chicken is done, immediately add to sauce mixture and cook on low for another 10-15 minutes to let the flavors marry.

 

 

Serve over white rice, cauli rice, zucchini noodles, or grilled veggies (like me). Or just eat it by itself. Do whatever tickles your fancy. Any way you eat it, its delish.
