I don't know... Should I even bother counting the number of days? I did tell myself when I started this thing that I would try it out for 30 days. But now, at day 26, I feel that maybe this is pretty good lifestyle to follow. I'm down 5kgs and even though in the past few days, I haven't been losing weight, my trousers have started getting looser and my tummy's gone down 2 inches.
Anyway, I wanted to share a simple recipe that I use pretty often - even before I started paleo. It's a chicken recipe that I feel is really yummy.
Prep time: 10 mins (but you need to leave it to marinate for at least 30 mins)
Cooking time: 25 - 35 mins
Serves: 4
Ingredients:
4 chicken legs - with fat trimmed away
1 inch piece of ginger - julienned
3 cloves of garlic - finely chopped
4 tablespoons of sesame oil
salt - to taste (I used roughly about 1 teaspoon)
3 tablespoons of fish sauce
1 tablespoon of honey - if you prefer it to be more sweet, use 2 tablespoons.
Instructions:
1. Prepare the marinade by mixing the ginger, garlic, sesame oil, fish sauce and honey together.
2. Rub the salt onto the chicken first, then pour the marinate over the chicken and mix well. Ensure that the marinade coats the chicken well.
3. Marinate the chicken for at least 30 mins in the fridge before cooking. The longer it marinates, the better it will taste.
4. Place the chicken into a baking pan and bake for 25 to 35 mins at 200 degrees Celsius. Cooking time will depend on the size of your chicken and also your oven. If it burns too quickly, cover with aluminium foil.
5. Once cooked (juices will run clear when pricked), serve with a portion of your favourite vegetables. I like to squeeze some lime over the chicken too - makes it extra yummy!
That's all to it. It's simple and easy to make. The chicken tastes good even overnight. I usually use leftovers in my salads.
