Things are going very well. This past week has been a little difficult for me, I've been cravings sweets like something fierce! It's the first time since I've started that I've had any real difficulty saying no to my cravings and choosing the healthy option, but I'm proud to say that I did and I am still going strong! I've lost an additional 5.4 pounds this week. Yay! I'm so excited for the future. Colours are brighter, goals are attainable, and every day I break through the walls I've built around me filled with the self-hatred I have buried myself in. Thank God that's no longer the case. Every day, my confidence rises.
With that said, a few have asked me to post the Honey Sesame Chicken crock pot recipe I made a few weeks ago. It's delicious and I high recommend everyone try it! Here it is:
You`ll need:
4 chicken breasts
honey (half a cup)
low sodium soy sauce
ketchup
extra virgin olive oil
3 cloves of minced garlic
red pepper flakes
rice
1 pound of green beans
corn starch
sesame seeds
Thaw chicken breasts, place in crock pot. Mix half a cup of honey, 2 tbsp of soy sauce, 2 and a half tbsp of ketchup, 1 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil, 3 cloves of minced garlic, half a tsp of red pepper flakes. Pour contents over chicken breasts. Cook on high for 1.5 - 2.5 hours or on low for 3-4 hours. While cooking, add some corn starch to thicken sauce. Add green beans half an hour in last 30 minutes. Cook rice separately according to directions. Garnish with sesame seeds.
Makes 4 servings and each serving is 553 calories. Enjoy!
