July 6

My Favorite Lunch

The best thing you can do if you want to eat healthy? Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Take a package of chicken breasts, remove the tenderloins (and save if you'd like), and place in a small sheet pan. I give each breast a good swipe of extra virgin olive oil, salt, pepper, onion powder, plus a special seasoning I buy at Whole Foods called Borsari.

Cook the chicken for 30-35 minutes. Let cool completely, then store in the fridge.

I cut up a vine-ripened tomato into small pieces, then add some extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Let sit for a little while. If you have access to fresh basil -grab a few leaves, roll up into a chiffonade, a slice with a good knife.

Slice the chicken. To a plate add several handfuls of organic greens, the chicken, sliced avocado, sliced fresh mozzarella, and then the tomato/olive oil mixture and combine well. Sprinkle the chiffonade of basil over all. Yum!

TIP: Baking the chicken breasts instead of poaching them helps to keep them from drying out.
