However it has come to my attention that tomorrow marks a month since the marathon! and subsequently also a month since I had run anywhere! I love running so this is just ridiculous and needed to be sorted!!
First five miler last night and it's fair to say it did not got well! For some reason I can no longer turn my neck without a lot of pain!! Good work so far!
As running home was now off the table this evening - I thought I better kick start my new healthy regime with a healthier diet to make up for lack of exercise! I've been meaning to try this Carribean Chicken recipe from the Weight Watchers Cookbook for a while now so it seemed liked the perfect night to test it out!
*I added some sweetcorn, but without this it came in at only 8 pro points per serving
Ingredients for 2
1tsps Olive Oil
Calorie Controlled Cooking Spray
250g Chicken Breast
300g Sweet Potatoes
1 Garlic Clove
1/2 red chilli, deseeded
1 Red Onion
1 Red Pepper
6 cherry tomatoes
1/2 Banana
4 Pineapple rings in natural juice
1 tbsp Sweet Chilli Sauce
Sweetcorn
Salt/Pepper
the main ingredients:
fresh and healthy
Start by preheating the oven to 180C (fan). Next peel the sweet potato and cut into wedges
Place on a baking tray and coat with the olive oil.
Cook in the oven for approx 30 minutes.
Meanwhile put the garlic, chilli and chicken into a large frying pan,using the calorie controlled cooking spray to lightly grease the surface first.
Once the chicken is cooked through, add the sliced pepper and red onion, and cook for another 5 minutes.
Prepare the rest of the ingredients
And then just whack them all in the pan - the pineapple, cherry tomatoes, chopped tomatoes, sweetcorn and banana - and simmer for 10 minutes
Take the sweet potatoes out of the oven and either serve on the side or combine with the rest of the mixture.
and serve up
