    And recipe... Chicken Satay

    Prep: 2 hours or so, most of that is the meat marinating in the fridge. Cook time... maybe 20 minutes?

    Ingredients

    * 2 teaspoons creamy peanut butter
    * 2 tablespoons and 2 teaspoons soy sauce
    * 2 tablespoons and 2 teaspoons lemon or lime juice
    * 1 teaspoon brown sugar
    * 2 teaspoons curry powder
    * 5/8 clove garlic, chopped
    * 1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
    * 2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cubed


    Directions

    1. In a mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, curry powder, garlic and hot pepper sauce. Place the chicken breasts in the marinade and refrigerate. Let the chicken marinate at least 2 hours, overnight is best.
    2. Preheat a grill to high heat.
    3. Weave the chicken onto skewers, then grill for 5 minutes per side.

    Yield: 4 servings

    You can add more peanut butter to get a 'truer' satay taste. I also make a little extra sauce for dipping.

    Here is my recipe - I made it last night for the first time and LOVED it! Boyfriend and siser both also loved it and it will definitely be made again soon! Everyone loves the combination of sausage, onions and peppers so I did a little twist using chicken sausage and added it to pasta.

    I posted it to recipes this morning - Chicken Sausage, Onions & Peppers with Pasta - YUMMO! http://www.myfitnesspal.com/recipe/edit/2518956

    409 Calories
    56g Carbs
    10g Fat
    22g Protein
    400mg Sodium
    5g Fiber


    For an all in one dish, maybe add a small salad with vinegar or a low-fat/fat-free dressing and that is one very filling and delicous meal!!! Oh and the clean up is easy - best part! :bigsmile:

    For some reason, when I click the link, it brings me to my recipe box. Any way you could repost? It sounds really good!

    cncadieux - NO PROBLEM!!!

    Here is my recipe writen down - I was trying to save room but oh well! :) PS - I was craving a sausage Italian sub with all the fixings when I came up with this and it TOTALLY took care of the craving!

    1lb of Chicken Sausage (remove from casing)
    1 small onion chopped
    1 jalapeno chopped (remove ribs and seeds - opinional)
    1/2-3/4 cup red bell pepper roughly chopped
    1/2-3/4 cup green bell pepper roughly chopped
    6-8oz sliced fresh mushrooms (rinsed and cleaned)
    3 cloved of fresh garlic minced
    1 28oz can of whole tomatoes (Dei Fratelli had very low sodium if any)
    1 15oz can of tomato sauce (I used Hunts No salt added)
    red wine (you could use chicken broth here instead and prob would drop calories but I was drinking some wine)
    Extra Virgin Olive Oil
    1/2 tbsp Unsalted Butter
    Italian Seasoning
    Paprika
    Salt & Pepper to taste

    Get a pot going on the stove to boil pasta and once boiling add pasta. In a large pan circle with EVOO (just enough to barely cover the bottom). Once hot add sausage to pan and begin to break up with wooden spoon until all small pieces. Leave until starts to brown and then add onions and jalapeno to the pan. Let onions sweat out and saute for about 3-4 minutes. Add bell peppers, mushrooms, and garlic and add red wine to deglaze pan (approx 4ish oz). Saute for another 3-5 minutes until veggies begin to get tender. Add can of whole tomatoes with liquid and stir into mixture. Add tomato sauce (I only use about 3/4 of the can or a tad less even but it is too taste) and seasonings to liking.

    Drain pasta once done and mix with sausage mixture. Serve with a good sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley and a generous sprinkle (1/8 cup maybe) of cheese.



    Per Serving: (with adding cheese and makes about 7 servings)

    I was thinking the same thing. We need to challenge another team so we are pushed, but still take them out next week. Lol

    And I know I will be helping more this week with getting closer to #1 yay for weighing in at 2lbs down this morning. and I am pushing to keep it up...

    GO TEAM!!!!

    Ok, for whatever reason I can't get the hang of finding stuff on these forums! Sheesh! How many forums do we have for our team and how do we find them all? I'll pledge some miles toward our total. it'll keep me in the gym for the rest of the week and keep me motivated so i have a good weigh in on Sunday. If all goes well, I will see a new second digit in my weight on Sunday. Awesome!!! :-)

    So, I've been trying to do one globe jump all week and it's not working for me. I get super dizzy. Can I do 100 extra jumping jacks tomorrow instead?

    tomorrow is going to be crazy, I am doing my w3d2 c25k; 50 globe jumps; 100 jumping jacks; and 100 stair climbers.... that is going to be one very crazy day. and that is 50 sets of globe jumps right where 1=4 (so it is more like 200 jumps in a square pattern)

    Each week a new thread is posted so that the first doesn't get so long, it should show up on your home page saying that wvualum posted a new topic, every sunday just look for a post from her and you will find the forum
