G'Day Bruces'! :becky:
Most of you know I just like having fun here... but this is a topic that has been on the boards for a month or so, and I'm sure it's not the first time.
HEALTHY BBQ!
Gentlemen, we have the tools at our disposal to make the healthiest food there is!:thumb:
Recently, I went to the doctor and got told my sugar was high. Having been an Intensive Care Nurse for 15 years... I made a decision. I'm not going to be a diabetic !:hand: And having been an Intensive Care Nurse for 15 years, I knew what I had to do.
1. Stop pissing up.
2. Start eating right.
3. Exercise.
The first thing I did, was go and see Mick!....
Everyone, meet Mick. I've been doing Micks printing for 8 years. I knew I'd need him someday, and that day has arrived. Here is a link to Mick's gym, FUTURE HEALTH AND FITNESS which he owns and established himself.
Mick put me on a high protein diet so we could get serious with Muscle building to aid in the weight loss. The diet was OK.. nothig I did not expect, but the main issue I had was buying smoked meats like chicken breast and lean beef when I know I can do it myself. I told Mick. He was sceptical
So anyway... sorry about the bullsh!t on to the recipe.
I bought 11Lbs of Chicken Breast Fillets. I brined them for 2 hours in the following:
4 Gallons Water
1/2 Cup Salt
1/4 Cup Sugar
TBS Dried Thyme
1 Head Fresh Garlic cut across the guts
Black Peppercorns
2 Lemons
Here's the chicken after 2 hours in the brine:
Here's my sugar free rub recipe!
Here's what I put it in!:becky:
The chicken got dusted!
I had fired up the WSM earlier with lump and oak and set at a low 200F. I hung all the chicken breast on my jerky hooks so they could cook verticle and allow all the fat (if any) to drip into the water pan.
After an hour, I raised the temp up to 250 to finish. They were done quite fast and still took a good amount of smoke, and some pretty nice colour too!
While the chicken had been smoking, I roasted some peppers right on the coals in the WSM... no pics of that, but then I added them to this healthy delicious fresh salad!
Then I sliced a few chicken breasts...
And served a very healthy meal...
Oh... I didn't have the avocado... that was for everyone else!
Anyway, it's that easy. The chicken was delicious, and the salad was simply dressed in a light viniagrette. You can eat a big serve of this and get lots of protein, no fat, and no carbs.
Hope you can try it too!
Cheers!
