- In a food processor, blend ripe avocado, juice of half of a lemon, cilantro bunch, garlic and natural quark or greek yogurt.

Favorite recipe: Healthy, Creamy, and Spicy Chicken
(Source: http://thefitblog.com/healthy-creamy-spicy-chicken)
Ingredients:
- 1 chicken breast (7 oz. – 200 g)
- ⅔ cup (100 g) Fat free half-and-half
- 2 tbs. Soy sauce (mainly for the salty taste, so don’t use low sodium soy)
- 1 cube Chicken bouillon (I use the small cubes from Knorr)
- Curry powder
- Paprika
- Chili flakes
- Pepper
- Cooking spray
Directions:
- Clean the chicken breast and cut it into 3 pieces
- Put a small pot on the stove at medium-high heat and coat it with a little cooking spray (or a tiny amount of butter or oil)
- When the pot is hot, put the chicken in and immediately sprinkle the spices on top. Heat the chicken for a minute on each side, just long enough to seal the meat and slightly burn the spices.
- Add the soy. It will boil away almost immediately, so be ready to quickly add the half-and-half as well. Don’t worry that the half-and-half doesn’t cover the chicken. It will cook just fine when you put on the lid
- Add the chicken bouillon and turn down the heat to a low simmer.
- Let it cook for 10-12 min. before checking with a knife if the chicken is done.
- Take out the chicken and turn up the heat. You want to reduce the sauce slightly and add more spices and salt if needed. Let it boil for 2-3 min, depending on how concentrated you want the sauce. It may separate slightly, but that’s ok.
Plate the chicken, add your carbs (I had rice cooked in bouillon and turmeric) and pour over the sauce.
