Cooking Up Champion Food.. Tuesday, October 13

I cooked up a batch of my notorious chicken and oats for the disbelievers because I argued that they needed to try it before they knocked it.  My chicken and oats are delish but more importantly it's a well balanced meal.  It's got an excellent source of protein, a clean starchy carb, loads of fiber, and a simple carb.  A breakfast like this simply is too good to get all caught up in "funkiness" of it, as one friend noted.  "It's the meal of champions", I say.  

Amy's Chicken and Oats

Ingredients:

1 chicken breast

1 cup of old fashion oatmeal

flavouring of your choice: berries, cinnamon, peanut butter

Directions:

1.  Boil the chicken and then either dice it or grate it.  

It's best to grate it with just a good old cheese grater because what makes this dish odd to the first time taster is the texture.  The finer and smaller you can make the pieces of chicken the more descret the presence of chicken will be in this dish.

2.  Boil your oatmeal like you would usually do when making oatmeal, nothing special.

3.  Add your chicken to your oatmeal, mix in your cinnamon and add flavouring. 

I like to go with berries and cinnamon.  Berries like blueberries and cranberries work very well here because of the strong tartness of their taste that kills the flavouring of the boiled chicken.  Boiled chicken really doesn't have much flavour, it's mainly texture, but berries always add flavouring to a boring bowl of oatmeal and they help with hiding the chicken in this particular dish.

4.  Enjoy... and then tell me how delish this protein-packed meal helped you kick the new day's butt into becoming a fabulous new day.
