A Delicious Fall Recipe

Hi, my name is Dani, and I struggle with eating healthy.

There, I said it! It's so true of me, and as we go into the fall and winter I know it will only get harder. This summer I thrived off of food from our garden and the grill, but up here in New England the long winter months are characterized by comfort food and added fats.

I've worked hard to get my body where it is today though, so don't think I'm going to throw in the towel. I just need to work more diligently at finding healthy and delicious recipes.

And, of course, I'll be sharing them with all of you here at Fat Gurl Inside.

Last night for dinner I decided to do a Baked Chicken with Roasted Apples and Garlic. It was super yummy! Here's the recipe:

1 or 2 Chopped and Peeled Macintosh Apples 

1 Dash of Dried Sage

2 Dashes of Cinnamon

1 Dash of Nutmeg

1 Garlic Cloves, Chopped Finely

1 Dash of Salt
1 Dash of Black Pepper
Olive Oil

2 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts Cut in 1-2 Inch Strips

Directions:

Preheat oven to 475°.

Spray a small pan with olive oil. Combine first 6 ingredients together in pan.

Place chicken pieces on top of the apple mixture. Bake at 475° for 25 minutes or until chicken is done and apple is tender. Remove chicken from pan; keep warm.

Partially mash apple mixture with a potato masher, and serve with chicken. Sprinkle with parsley, if desired.

This recipe makes enough for two people with a little left over, but it can be increased to serve a whole family.

Enjoy with roasted cauliflower and carrots, or other vegetables you enjoy.

If you get a chance to try it let me know what you think!
