The REAL naked chef!
Right, so from time to time i cut some weight to reach a desired weight class. And while no normal person wants to live on the full diet i have while doing that. I have (through necessity, as a lover of food, but completely inept in the kitchen.) learned a few easy dishes, that wont f00k with teh schedule, and still tastes great. Always perfectly fine for everyday food, when i'm just maintaining and have no need to lose weight.
Today; "Blackjack's, mmm yummy yummy dragonbreath bbq chicken salad".
Very simple; you need.
1 clove of garlic, small/medium
some low fat Crème fraîche based dressing. (Fromage frais/fromage blanc/maquée/kwark. is a no no)
Pre-marinated chicken.
Lettuce.
Cucumber.
First you pour some dressing into a small dish, put alittle more in than you reckon you are going to use for 1 portion.
Now use a garlic presser, to put the clove of garlic into the dressing, and mix it up good. (i usually do this atleast 30 mins before i'm going to need it. As this seems to give a better taste)
Slice up the amount of lettuce you need. And chop up the cucumber. You want some decent size chunks.
slice up the chicken, each slice being about a pinky finger's width.
Heat up a pan, you want that sucker really hot. I use some liquid cooking margarine, that is high on unsaturated fats, and low on saturated fats. (This is good, incase you have no clue what this is.)
Throw on the chicken bits, and fry them well. As you can see in the pic, they are quite well done. But they wont be dry if the pan is hot enough to start with.
Now, make a bed with around half of the lettuce in the deep plate or bowl you want to eat from. And put half of the chopped up cucumber in aswell. Then spread out half of the chicken evenly on the greens, and pour on some dressing.
That done, you simply repeat those steps with the rest of the ingredients so you get 2 similar layers on top of eachother.
And voila, you have a lovely, healthy salad
The warm chicken and garlic dressing works very well together imho.
You will have to excuse the presentation, but i focus on eating it... not looking at it
Next time; Blackjack's, Uhh Ahh, i can't believe it's not a desert, vanilla and banana breakfast.
