Honey Mustard Chicken Tenders

I bought the raw chicken tenders for this recipe. I really do not like touching raw chicken unless I have to. This was a very simple recipe like most. I placed it on a bed of rice and divided my protein (chicken) and good carbs (brown rice) for this lunch. It was sweet and tangy. The sweet glaze went great with the rice too.



This recipe is something you can make with your preferred condiments. I used the below ingredients.

Ingredients:
Raw Chicken Tenders about 1lb 
1/4 cup Honey
2 tblsp Chipolte Mustard
2 tblsp Mustard
Salt and Pepper

I sprayed bottom of pan with Crisco Olive Oil. Mixed ingredients and poured over chicken. Baked in the oven for 20-45 mins. It will depend on how much chicken you will be baking. Sometimes I'll have left over sauce and will pour it onto my serving before eating.

Oatmeal Pancakes

This recipe is from the, Jennifer Nicole Lee's Fitness Model diet book. Pancakes are high in carbs and calories, especially after you dump a cement mixer load of syrup on them. They tend to average 300-500 calories a serving after you add the syrup. The processed and bad carbs that taste so good make a huge difference in your diet. I really love the taste of these pancakes from JNL. Plus I top it with a sugar free syrup (Log Cabin Sugar Free Syrup), only 20 calories per serving, where other syrups are 100-200 calories per serving!


About 260 calories and over 20g of protein
Ingredients:
1/2 cup Old Fashioned Quaker Oats
4 Egg Whites
1/2 cup Fat Free Cottage Cheese
1 Tsp Vanilla
1/4 Cinnamon
1/4 Nutmeg

Use blender and blend all ingredients until smooth. These will have a sightly different texture because of all the egg whites. It may look like a runny batter but if you think it's too runny add more oats. I usually leave out the nutmeg as a personal preference. This makes one serving of 4 pancakes.
