Metabolism Revolution Part 2 Dinner | Serves 1
Prep time: 20 minutes | Total time: 60 minutes
INGREDIENTS MEAL MAP A
2 tablespoons pecans
2 tablespoons almonds
2 fresh basil leaves
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
4 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into strips
1 egg white*
2 cups green beans
MEAL MAP B ADAPTATIONS
2 cups zucchini
MEAL MAP C ADAPTATIONS
8 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into strips
2 cups zucchini
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat the oven to 350º F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a food processor, combine the pecans, almond, basil, thyme, marjoram, salt, and pepper. Pulse until the mixture is fully combined, moist and well chopped. Spread the mixture on a plate. Put the egg white in a bowl. Dip the chicken in the egg white to coat, letting any excess drip back into the bowl, then dip it into the nut mixture, completely covering the chicken. Put the coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet. If some of the nut mixture falls off, pat it back on the chicken. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 160º F.
3. When the chicken is cooking, steam the green beans (and zucchini if you are following Meal Map B or C) in a steamer in a steamer basket over boiling water until crisp-tender, about 6 minutes.
4. Serve the chicken with the steamed green beans and, for Meal Maps B and C, zucchini alongside.
