Zesty Grilled Chicken



 
 
 
Ingredients:
6-8 Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1.5 tsp Weber Grill Seasoning - Chicago Steak (I know what you're thinking...steak seasoning on chicken?  Trust me, it's delicious!)




Directions:
1. Combine chicken breasts, ACV, garlic, Chicago Steak seasoning in a large Ziploc bag and shake until ingredients are evenly mixed and seasonings are coating all chicken breasts. Marinating in a pan works just as well.  Shake bag or turn chicken after a couple of hours for best results.  Let marinate for at least 6 hours.





2. On an indoor grill, cook on high heat for about 10 minutes in the closed position or about 5-7 minutes per side.  On a large outdoor grill, cook on medium-high for about 7 minutes per side or until chicken is 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

Dreading your workout? Here are 3 ways to get motivated.

1. Check in with your favorite health hero
When I’m not in the mood to work out, I check out Chalene Johnson's instagram for a little inspiration. Reading about someone else’s motivation and successes always seems to get me moving. Plus, I usually end up finding a new workout routine, recipe, or piece of advice that further inspires me to get my sweat on!




2.Create a game plan for your workout
If I don’t start my workout with a game plan, I lose focus and inevitably don’t get the best results. Let’s just say, there has been more than one occasion when I’ve wandered aimlessly around the gym and made half-hearted attempts at exercising. Now, I make sure to plan exactly what I’m going to do during my workout– whether it’s a 30-minute interval run  on the treadmill or a Full body cross fit inspired workout– so I have a plan of attack, which helps me stay focused and motivated throughout my workout.

3.Listen to your playlist before you start your workout
Music is a great way to pump me up for a sweat session, but I sometimes find that I have trouble even starting my workout. The solution: Playing upbeat tunes (I love dance music) before I start working out. The music gives me a boost and helps me power through my workout!
