I am stunned that it is already Day 23 of this challenge.
Outside of a dairy debacle and dealing with a bit of a stomach bug, I have been feeling great! I love how I can get through my day and not feel like I need to take a nap! I do need to do better with my walking every day but I have taken my supplements, my eating is good and I have been drinking my water.
Tonight’s dinner (not pictured because I forgot my phone upstairs) was lemon rice and lemon chicken with thyme, Italian seasoning, lemon juice, onions, garlic, & white wine reduction. I seared the chicken thighs & then made the sauce. I sauteed the onions, added the garlic until I smelled it (30 seconds) & then added the white wine. I reduced it until it was down by half, then added the herbs, salt and pepper, a bit of chicken stock, and added the chicken back in until it was cooked all the way through. I took out the chicken thighs to let them rest & thickened the sauce with a cornstarch slurry and then added some butter off the heat so it thickened up. I strained the sauce since my immersion blender called it quits and I added that over the chicken and rice. 10/10 recommend. When I make this again (probably tomorrow night with chicken breasts) I’ll take pictures to show.
Now it’s time for me to wind down and get some sleep 💤.
Goodnight all. I’ll see you tomorrow!
