2 Tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 black pepper slit

Healthy Snacking

Chicken Stuffed Avocado

I love a healthy snack and finding the right choices can be tricky. Read up on specific foods and just experiment. I have whipped up a yummy easy snack and its very filling plus delicious!
Ingredients
1 cooked rotisserie chicken
1 ripe avocado slit
1 stem of celery fine chop
salt/black pepper to taste
1 green chilli ( take out all the white and the seeds, you just want to flavor not the heat)
1/4 cup dried canberries or 1/4 cup shredded carrot
1/2 to 1 cup greek yogurt
2 Tablespoons of chopped chives

IN a bowl tear up all the meat from the bones of the chicken, so that its nicely shredded. ADD cranberries, celery, green chilli, salt/pepper and yogurt. MIX it all together combining all the ingredients. 
TAKE your ripe avocado and slit in down the middle set on the plate (sprinkle some salt and black pepper on it) and spoon in the chicken salad and top it off with some chives and ENJOY!! 
 
With all the extra I make a sandwich or two for lunch. Usually its all gone because I use 2-3 Avocados and we all have that for a snack. I hope you enjoy! 

I would love to hear from you guys let me know how it turns out.

Chicken Mali Boti

Welcome to my blog! Many people have asked me to cook specific dishes for them. So..I thought why not...right? I would love to share my recipes and some of my fashion ideas with anyone who is interested in getting tips. Today I sharing a all time family fav.

Chicken Mali Boti

Ingredients 
2lbs chicken breast chopped in bite size cubes
1 med onion cut in rings
2 tomatoes chopped
1 1/12 garlic and ginger paste
1-2 lemon
salt to taste
1 Tablespoon green chillie
( you can remove the seeds to take the heat and but keep the flavor in)
1 cup Greek yogurt
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 piece of coal
1 teaspoon olive oil
dash of red pepper

Marinate 1/2 Kg Boneless chicken breast with 1 1/2 Tablespoon ginger and garlic paste for 1 hour.

In a Separate Bowl:
 MIX- Greek Yogart and cream.
ADD- salt to taste, green chilli paste a dash of red pepper (or according to taste, you can always add alittle and then taste it to make sure its ok for your taste) After this add in your chicken. Refrigerate for 30 mins.
HEAT- A small piece of coal ( what you use for a BBQ) til almost red. In a pan (that the chicken will be cooked in) add onion rings, tomatoes and set the coal in. DROP a few drops of olive oil on the coal and smoke will start releasing. Cover it and let the cooking begin.  
Once its Finished serve it with rice and a nice greek salad. Yum Yum Delicious

Note- I prefer you put the pot outside, as smoke will enter the house.
I hope you enjoy!!! Sorry my Finished picture was too big to load, next time all will be my final product and my looked almost exactly like this but a little lighter.
