Chicken Roman

Ingredients

3 Chicken Breast
1/2 an Onion
Olive Oil
1/2 Cup of Sweet Roasted Peppers
1/2 Cup of Shredded Carrots
14 oz (1.75 cups) of Diced tomatoes 
1/2 Cup of Apple Cider Vinegar
3 Cups of Chicken Broth
1/4 Cup of All-Purpose Flour
Paprika, Salt, Pepper, Thyme and Parmesan Cheese to taste



In a Pot pour in Olive oil and heat on Medium. Wash chicken breast.


Slice in half and discard fat.


Repeat and cover them in Salt, Pepper and Thyme to taste.


Place Chicken in cooking pot and keep turning them until only the outside of chicken is cooked


I had to use a skillet because my cooking pot wasn't big enough.


Remove Chicken before it cooks completely, don't worry you will finish cooking it later. Leave oil in the pot.



Cut Onion in half, only use one half of the onion and slice it.


Put it in the oil.

Slice Peppers.


Add to the onion.


Shred in the Carrot.


Open your Diced Tomatoes can. ( I only used half of this one, since it was 28 oz) 


Pour in cooking pot.


Add Vinegar and Place all the chicken in the pot.



Turn heat to a Medium-High. In 3 cups of of Chicken broth add Flour and make sure there aren't any lumps. Add Broth in the pot and add Paprika to taste. 



Mix and let it boil for about 5 minutes.


Then, lower heat back to medium and let it cook for about 20 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked.


Serve and enjoy! add some Parmesan cheese if you'd like.





Let me tell you! It was delicious, I had some mashed black beans on the side. 

Love, Mari

Chicken Hammus Wrap

My valentine's lunch


This recipe is for two. If you'd like for one, simply divide the ingredients.

Ingredients

2 Wraps
1 Chicken Breast
Hammus to taste
4 Swiss Cheese slices
10 Cherry Tomatoes
Honey to taste
Olive Oil
Salt
Pepper
Thyme

First, in a skillet pour about a tablespoon of olive oil, heat on medium-low (on level 4). Then, chop up the chicken breast into desired shape. Cut off extra fat and discard it. Add salt, pepper and thyme to taste. Place chicken breast on the hot oil. Meanwhile, wash cherry tomatoes.




Slice them in half and sprinkle some salt and pepper.


Flip the chicken breast.


After a minute or so turn them again.



Let them cook until the other side looks golden brown and keep turning them until they are golden all around.


Grab the tortillas.



Heat up two tortillas but don't let them harden and burn like this one.

Open your hummus and with a spatula spread it on the tortilla.




Place 2 swiss cheese slices on the hummus and half of the chicken right on top.




Add sliced tomatoes.


Then drizzle some honey.


Fold wrap




Wrap the wrap in aluminum foil.





Repeat with your second wrap.


You may wrap aluminum foil with cupcake decor wrap liner to make it pretty. Cut up some fruits on the side and there's a lunch for two.


Enjoy! 


Love, Mari
