Cali Chicken

Today is day 24 of the "All In AdvoCare 24 Day Challenge".  Since January 7th, Pop and I have been eating clean.   Tomorrow will be our day of reckoning - we will be weighing and measuring.  We already know that we feel great!  We are anxious to find out how many pounds and inches we lost.

During the Challenge, we've tried quite a few new recipes. The one I tried tonight is a definite keeper. Too much of my time is spent on Pinterest, but when I find amazing things it makes it worth it.  This pin was for "The Very Best Chopped Chicken (for Soups, Salads, Casseroles)".  Can I tell you that this might be The Very Best Chicken Period?!  While browsing Pinterest, I also found a picture for chicken topped with tomato, avocado and cheese.  That "pin" didn't lead me anywhere so I knew I was on my own.  I combined the chicken recipe with the picture ingredients and came up with "Cali Chicken".  

The Very Best Chopped Chicken

2 lbs Chicken breasts, boneless and skinless

1/2 tsp Garlic powder

1/4 tsp Onion powder

1/2 tsp Thyme, dried

1/4 tsp Paprika

1/4 tsp Pepper

1/2 tsp Salt

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Line a baking pan with foil and lightly rub with olive oil.  Mix spices in a small bowl.  Lay chicken breasts on pan and sprinkle

seasoning mix on one side of each breast.  Turn chicken over and sprinkle remaining spices on other side.

Put pan in oven and bake chicken for 15 minutes.  Turn chicken over and bake for 15-20 minutes more until chicken reaches internal temperature of 165 degrees.

After the chicken was done, I topped it with a slice of tomato, some onion, avocado and a slice of provolone cheese. I put it back in the oven for about 5 minutes - long enough for the cheese to melt.  Then I drizzled a little of the pan juices over each piece of chicken before serving.
