protein....

the past few weeks i have been making a greater effort to incorporate more protein into my diet. i'm not a big fan of meat, so i have done this in part by seeking out new protein sources. tonight i tried a new chicken recipe. lean chicken helps to build calorie burning muscle....isn't that what we are all looking for?

chicken tenders with balsamic vinegar glaze

olive oil

10 chicken tenders

fresh ground black pepper, to taste

2 tsp minced garlic

6 tbsp balsamic vinegar

2 tbsp honey

1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth

heat oil over medium heat, add chicken tenders. while cooking season with ground black pepper. cook, turning pieces halfway through, until cooked, approximately 10 minutes. remove chicken from pan and set aside.

reduce heat to low, add garlic and saute. then add vinegar, honey and chicken broth. simmer, scraping the bottom of the pan for 1 minute.

return chicken to pan. mix all ingredients together and heat through.
