Quick Breakfast

(FS, RR, SS, CC, P2)
Serves 1
2 scoops TLS Nutrition Shake — Vanilla
3 oz. unsweetened apple sauce
2 eggs
Cinnamon and nutmeg to taste
Coconut oil
Mix all ingredients together. Add coconut oil to a pan and when melted, spoon mixture into pan to form pancakes. Cook on medium high heat until browned and flip.
Chicken
Chicken with Balsamic Vinegar
(FS, RR, SS, CC, P2)
Serves 1
1/8 tsp thyme
1 dash salt
1 TBSP extra virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 TBSP. grass fed butter, unsalted
1 bay leaf
1 chicken breast, evenly sliced into strips
1/6 cup vegetable broth
1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a heavy skillet and cook the chicken over medium-high heat until nicely browned on one side, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic. Turn the chicken pieces over and scatter the mushrooms overall. Continue cooking, shaking the skillet and redistributing the mushrooms so they cook evenly. Cook for about 3 minutes. Add the balsamic vinegar, broth, bay leaf and thyme. Cover tightly and cook over moderately high-heat for about 10 minutes. Turn the chicken pieces occasionally as they cook. Transfer the chicken to a large serving plate leaving the sauce to thicken. Let the sauce cook uncovered over moderately high heat for about 7 minutes. Swirl in the butter. Remove the bay leaf. Pour the sauce and mushrooms over the chicken and serve.

Spiralize zucchini and cook in 2 TBSP olive oil quickly to retain some crunchy texture. Set aside. Cook garlic and tomatoes for 1 minute.
