Parmesan-Almond Crusted Chicken and Asparagus and Garlic in a Balsamic Reduction

I have made other versions of this chicken before to mimick a recipe i came up with before going low-carb, but this was by far the best- even better than its full-carb predecessor. 

I’ll start with the chicken.

In a food processor (a blender would work fine, too) grind up almonds, parmesan cheese, and your seasoning of choice. In this case I used Slap Ya Mama seasoning. You’ll hear me say that a lot.

Then dip the chicken in some whisked egg (to make the “breading” stick) and then coat it in the almond mixture.

The rest is easy. Just pan fry it in your oil of choice. I use coconut oil for everything, but I’ll save my raves on that for another post. It’s amazing stuff.

Now for the asparagus.

I pressed 3 cloves of garlic and threw it in a pan with the asparagus, salt, and some oil.

Saute those for a bit, and when it’s almost done pour balsamic vinegar over it. Reduce the heat immediately- it will burn very quickly and then you’ll have a kitchen full of smoke. Been there. Let it just barely simmer for a bit and it’ll thicken up and coat the vegetables, and it’s done!

I make this asparagus all the time, it’s really good paired with salmon too. Also, this same recipe is really good with kale!

THREE MONTH PROGRESS

I did not feel like doing one of these today because my mirror selfie game has been strong this week and it felt unnecessary BUT today is actually kind of a big deal. 1: one year ago today I started lizzielosing (though at the time it was lizzieketo) and that is making me feel all kinds of things. 2: On January 1st (my “before” picture day) I was determined that this weight loss challenge was going to end today, after 3 months. I wrote all sorts of essays to myself about how 3 months wasn’t that long, I was going to hermit myself for winter and be all hot and sexy by Spring, yada yada. 3: I haven’t posted a sincere progress side by side in 3 weeks and a month just ended so here we are. I am adding bold text highlights to make this word-explosion appear more interesting.

I gained 2 pounds this week because I’ve been lazy, but since Jan 1st I’ve lost around 8-10 stubborn pounds and am still about 10 pounds away from one of my goal weights. (I fluctuate between 125 pounds and 127.) 2 inches have been lost from the waist and 2 from the hips. I’m actually pretty much halfway to all of my goals after 3 months. Obviously I wish I was 100% there and ready to maintain at 110-115 pounds, but if these months have taught me anything it’s that even with the best intentions I still screw up at least once a week and maybe that’s OK! Things are still changing in the right direction, and that matters. 

I feel like the first few weeks my body really dropped a lot of fat and my progress looks less and less noticeable each week because it’s more muscle toning+bone-revealing, but I feel generally hotter! The increasing frequency of selfies on this site is a testament to that. Those shorts are now baggy and sit below the belly button, which they’re not supposed to do and now do because they’re too big. My tits got smaller but they look better so it’s all good. Hips/saddlebags finally, slowly shrinking. I don’t know. Again, wish I was already there after 3 months but staying positive. I’m going to try and not drink at all this week because it truly is the only thing holding me back at this point. I’m not setting a new date for my goal weight just yet, but it took me 3 months to get here so realistically June-ish I should hit my goal weight…but we’ll see! Thanks for sticking with me, gang. (and today a special, loving shoutout to @alittlebitofketo and @ketokee both of whom I have now been interacting with for ONE YEAR TODAY and both of whom have made fucking outstanding progress in the last year and are a huge inspiration to me.)

This woman is everything!! Look how amazing she looks!! Such great progress!! ❤❤
