Baked Cashew Crusted Chicken

The Bikini Chef Recipe of the Week:
Quinoa Crusted Paprika Chicken
Serves 2

1 egg white, lightly beaten
2 5-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup cooked quinoa mixed with 1/2 teaspoon paprika (sweet or smoked)
1 tablespoon olive or coconut oil

Preheat oven to 375*. Using a pastry brush, brush each chicken breast on both sides with egg white. Coat each side of chicken breast with quinoa mixture, gently pressing onto chicken as needed.

Heat olive or coconut oil in iron skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken and cook about 4 minutes, or until outside is crunchy and lightly browned. Using a flat spatula, scoop underneath each chicken breast and turn over. Cook the other side about 4 minutes. Then, transfer chicken to oven and continue baking for about 12 minutes or until just cooked through.

*Photo above is Susan’s Cashew Crusted Chicken.  This recipe substitutes cooked quinoa for cashews.

Justin and Lauren’s Stuffed Mushrooms with Baked Rutabaga Fries

Justin and Lauren’s Slimming Chicken Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms
Serves 2

1 pound boneless skinless breasts
1 medium hot house-style tomato, seeded and diced
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1/2 small white or yellow onion, minced (or, use dehydrated onion)
to taste: black pepper, red pepper flakes, basil, Italian seasoning
2 large portobello mushroom caps, stems trimmed or removed (or us 6 baby portobello mushroom caps)
2 tablespoons reduced sugar ketchup or 1/2 cup low sodium tomato sauce
2 80-calorie pepper jack cheese sticks or 2 50-calorie mozzarella cheese sticks
1-2 teaspoons olive oil*

*Note from Justin and Lauren: Oil is not generally a part of our diet. However, we would suggest using the olive oil for added flavor and crispness of the filling. We used it when having guests over, and it definitely makes a difference! Keep in mind that the nutritional information will change.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Place chicken on baking sheet and bake about 18 minutes or until just cooked through. Let cool slightly. Place chicken in a large bowl and shred using two forks or clean hands. Add tomatoes, garlic, and onion and mix well. Add ketchup (or tomato sauce) and seasonings to taste. Mix well. Cover with aluminum foil and chill for at least 2 hours.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Shave, shred, or finely chop each cheese stick. Lightly brush the mushrooms to remove any dirt. Place mushrooms topside down onto an aluminum-lined baking sheet. Divide the chicken mixture equally and spoon into each mushroom cap. Gently press chicken mixture to form a firm, dome-like shape. Cover loosely with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Once out of oven, remove foil and place equal amounts of cheese on top on each stuffed mushroom. Re-cover with aluminum foil and bake an additional 5 minutes or until cheese melts. If you prefer to brown the cheese, turn oven setting to broil and place under broiler for about 1 minute. Serve 1 large or 3 small stuffed mushrooms per person.

Carbohydrates: 22.7g
Protein: 65.3g

Sodium: 493.6mg

Nutrition note from Justin and Lauren: A single serving is one portobello mushroom cap and the filling. It contains 367 calories and about 60 grams of protein. Below is the breakdown:
8 ounces chicken 240, 52g protein
1 cheese stick 80, 5g protein
1 Tomato 20, 1g protein
ketchup 5, 0g protein
1 large portobello mushroom 22, 2g protein
TOTAL: 367, 60g protein

Justin and Lauren’s HEALTHY #SOBikini HOMEMADE TOMATO SAUCE
Makes 1.75 cups

1 (14.5 ounce) can no-salt-added diced tomatoes
1 tablespoon reduced-sugar ketchup
Italian seasoning to taste
black pepper to taste
1/2 large white or yellow onion, (or 3 tablespoons dehydrated onion)
2 large cloves garlic, minced
red pepper flakes to taste
dried parsley to taste
1/2 cup water

Place tomatoes in a medium bowl. Use an immersion blender to break down the tomatoes into a sauce-type consistency. If you do not have an immersion blender, then a food processor or blender will work just as well. Add ketchup, Italian seasoning, and black pepper and mix well.

Heat a medium stockpot or saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic to the pot. Allow them to sweat for a minute or two. Stir in the red pepper flakes and dried parsley to taste. Continue to saute until the onions are soft, about 1 to 2 minutes longer.

Pour the tomato mixture over the onions, garlic, and spices. Bring to boil. Add water and stir to combine. Cover and reduce heat to low and simmer about 10-20 minutes, or until sauce has thickened enough to your liking.

Justin and Lauren’s Nutritional Note: One serving is 1/2 cup of tomato sauce containing only 35 calories and 1 gram of protein. It serves about 3 and 1/2 people total.

LEMONADE RESTAURANTS by Chef Alan Jackson

CHEF Alan Jackson doesn’t sing, not to be confused with country singer Alan Jackson, made his debut appearance on Bikini Lifestyles on AM 790 KABC Saturday, May 25 at 7pm PT, LIVE streaming online at KABC.com. Each Saturday night, hosts Susan Irby The Bikini Chef and Denice Fladeboe bring you food trends, fitness tips, and healthy lifestyle experts.

SALAD AT LEMONADE

A noted restaurateur at age 24, Chef Alan Jackson is our featured guest for tonight’s broadcast. Chef Alan is now taking over the Western region with his newest, delicious adventure, Lemonade. Described as a “fast-casual cafeteria-style eatery”, Lemonade is ANYTHING but the cafeteria I grew up with in the southern State of Georgia. With 11 Lemonade restaurants already delighting tastebuds, more restaurants are coming what seems each month. Providing a “something for everyone approach”, Chef Alan says Lemonade actually was created when he and his wife couldn’t settle on where or what to have for dinner… one wanted healthier options, the other more meat and potatoes. Tune in to Bikini Lifestyles to discover who won their dish and the secrets behind the success of Lemonade.  Bonus… each of Lemonade’s menu items is perfect for your Memorial Day weekend and Summer picnic, pool parties.

PLATE A CUP FOR THE BIKINI CHEF RECIPE OF THE WEEK

The Bikni Chef Recipe of the Week:
Bikini Chicken Stroganoff
Serves 6

1 1/2 pounds egg noodles
1 pound chicken tenders, diced
2 teaspoons black pepper
1/2 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon quinoa flour
1 medium onion, diced
2 cups diced celery
1 1/2 cups sliced cremini mushrooms (optional)
1 teaspoon sea salt
2 cups nonfat sour cream or plain greek yogurt

While noodles are cooking, cook the chicken in a large non-stick skillet with 1 teaspoon of the black pepper over medium-high heat until just cooked through. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside. Do not wipe out skillet. Add the butter and quinoa flour and mix into a paste. Add the onion and celery (and mushrooms, if using), remaining pepper and salt. Stir occasionally and cook until slightly tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in sour cream until combined.

Add cilantro or parsley and stir to combine. Season with additional salt and pepper, if desired.
