2 tbsp vinegar
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp salt
1tsp each black pepper, paprika, garlic powder

1- Clean chicken and slice each breast horizontally into 2 thinner pieces.
Cut vertically into smaller pieces if necessary.
2- combine all ingredient in a bowl to marinate.

3- cover a baking tray with foil and place the chicken on it.

See how the size of the fillet is? Like that. about the size of your palm

4- bake at 350 for 15 mins. Flip once and leave it for another 10 mins.

5- broil on high for no longer than 5 mins each side. Keep watching it until it’s nicely browned. Then flip and repeat.

You’re done! Serve with whatever you want! I made a huge salad and that was our dinner 🙂
I love how moist the chicken was, it usually dries up a bit when I do it other ways.

I had extra chicken leftover so I sliced it up and saving it for lunch, chicken salad tomorrow!

let me know if you try it!!!

Quick 5 min tilapia fillets, easy lunch or dinner, very moist and flavorful you will love it 🙂

Ingredients: serves one person
2 tilapia fillets, thawed in fridge
2 stalks green onions, chopped
2 mini bell peppers or half a large one, any color (I had orange)

Place raw fillets in pan.
Sprinkle the spices on top of the fillets.
Let sizzle for 2-3 mins. Then flip.

Add the onions and peppers and cover for about 3 mins. Fish should be moist and cooked, peppers lightly steamed and crunchy. If you like it a bit more brown u can leave in for a couple more mins but make sure fish doesn’t get too flaky and break up.

Add to plate and gobble up. 🙂
Best served with a salad, or a side of brown rice.
I ate it by itself with no sides. I was too hungry lol.

Recipe:
2 large ripened avocados (soft to touch but not super squishy)

2 Roma tomatoes, chopped
1/2 small red onions, finely diced
1 jalepeno finely diced
Half a bunch of cilantro, finely chopped
Juice of a lemon
1/2 tsp salt.. Or to taste.

Combine all in one bowl, smash and mix, serve.. Takes about 5 minutes to prepare 🙂 easy peasy indeed
