Hi everyone,
This is a recipe that I came up with over the holidays. Frederick loves it and encouraged me to share it here with you guys. I hope you will enjoy this meal. It is really delicious! Let me know how you like it.
You will need: Whole grain bread chopped in pieces, chicken breasts (1/2kg) chopped in pieces, butter, apple, large tomato, broccoli, celery, mushrooms, green or red pepper, 2 large onions, 4 garlic cloves, mixed nuts with raisons or just walnuts. Spices: sage, oregano, thyme, nutmeg, black pepper, cayenne pepper, salt.
Saute one large onion with a little bit of olive oil in a large pot.
Add chicken breasts, salt, pepper, a piece of butter and 2 or 3 glasses of water. Cover with a lid and let it cook until the chicken is done. Tip: a little more butter will give it a really nice taste.
Chop up all of the fruit, veggies and mushrooms except the garlic – this goes in later.
Saute the mix on a skillet. Add a little piece of butter and the spices. You can experiment with the amount of each spice. Be careful with the cayenne pepper so that you don’t make it too hot.
Add about 3 handfuls of mixed nuts with raisons into the skillet and saute until the vegetables are soft.
Put the bread pieces in the casserole bowl. I used 3 whole grain buns. When the chicken is ready, pour the sauce over the bread and mix the chicken with the bread.
Add the garlic cloves chopped in little pieces and mix it in. You can grate some cheese over the top. I used the Gozo goat cheese which is delicious – the only goat cheese that I actually like. Put it in the preheated oven (230°C ) and leave it there for 15 to 20 minutes until the cheese is melted on the top or until the bread on the top is crunchy. You have to watch it, because it is easy to burn the top.
This is what my small portion looks like. Plan your meal according to your daily activities. Are you going to sit infront of your computer for the next 3 hours? Then you should eat a really small portion and include more vegetables. Are you going to be active? If this is the case then take a slightly larger portion.
I love this recipe! Tried it last night and it was so hard to limit my portions, because it was that good. :-) I’ve been a lurker on the site for a while and I have to say you guys are such an inspiration. Thanks!
Hi Zuzana,
your recipes are great! They are easy to make, and yet they are delicious! I was just wondering if you could put more of your amazing recipes? :)
Love your workouts, you guys are amazing! :)
Im so curios to know: how can you eat every 2 or 3 hours if you also have to do workout. As far as i know if you do exercise you have to wait at least 2 hour after you eat and 2 hours after you do the exercises. I want to know this because is sow important. Sorry for my english.
Hey Zuzanna!
If you put your onions in the fridge (store them in the fridge) they dont make you cry anymore when you cut them. I learnt that tip agess ago and I cook a lot for me and my boyfriend.
:)
I tried this recipe tonight for dinner and OMG! I love it! My new found favourite! Thanks for posting this recipe. I am always searching for new healthy recipes to try out. I love the texture of crunchy nuts paired with the soft bread. And you are right, a little goes a long way. I only need a small portion to keep me satisifed and energized! I hope you will consider posting more recipes soon! Yum!

i tried this one. . . its really teasty
Nice accent!:P..and beautifull
Hello there, I stubbled across your fitness videos on you tube. They look very intense and therefore will be starting to try them on monday for a new week. My question to you is, are there any other healthy breakfast that I am missing out there. I get burned out on cereal right away and so I make just potatos and 2 scrambled eggs and maybe two slices of turkey bacon. This is my primary and first pick between the 2 breakfast typs. when i do get in the mood to eat cereal, I will eat plain or fuel wheaties, special K and plain or honey nut cheerios. And when I do eat cereal for example, today I had wheaties fuel with servings of 2 hand fulls with easy milk 2%. Is that enough to start my day out or should i require more? Thanks -Chris
I really loved this amazing article. Please keep it up. Greets!.

Hey Zuzana,
I love all your recipes. A while back maybe a year or more you posted what you normally eat in a day. You went through all of your meals and showed us the portions for each. You had some interesting food in there like bulgar. I was wondering if you could send me the old video to see it again! Thanks soo much!
Hey Zuzana! I’m an 11 year old girl and I love to exercise! You have helped me learn so many new exercises that have given me amazin results! Plus your recipes are awesome! You Rock!
Your Biggest Fan,
Megan
WOW… This was FANTASTIC… SUPERB… I LOVED IT! Thank you!!!
Thank you for sharing the info. I found the details very helpful.
Wow, this has everything I love in it aside from the raisins. I wonder how it would be as leftovers since my boyfriend is a very picky eater, so I’m guessing it would last me a week or two if frozen. I’m going to work on my portions now. Thanks!
Hey Zuzana ,Firstable I want to congratulate you for your awesome work that you do and providing us all these useful videos and healthy recipes. Thanks thanks thanks Offcorse you look great and you are very pretty woman. I just wish we could hang together and work out so I could get an awesome body. Well keep up the great work and keep us informed Iam from Europe too I am from Greece but live in USA
Zuzana – greetings from Florida – just wanted to add my “Oh my gosh, this is DELICIOUS” comments! My husband says it’s a “keeper” and I know this would be a great dish for company! Thanks!
výborný recept.moc mi chutná.Bylo pro mě těžké vzít si jen trochu:) ale zvládla jsem to a odolala jsem pokušení:)
Just stumbled upon your site and as a personal trainer Im incredibly impressed. Especially with this recipe. Just made a little different version as I did not have all the ingredients. Loveddd it. Try this recipe with peanut butter instead of nuts and saute the veggies in the melted peanut butter and it gives it an extra kick of explosion in your mouth.
Hi guys, I am making this lovely dish right now. Changed a bit the recipe because I didn’t have some of the ingredients available and both me and my wife were very hungry. Judging by the stunning smell that’s coming from the pot…I’d say it is going to be really nice. Can’t wait for it to cook. Thanks again guys.

I also cry a lot when I cut onions. So I cut a whole bunch of them at once and refrigerate it. I would wear a ski gargle and plug my nose with paper towel when I cut onions, which is the only way to do it without suffering.
use a bigger knife and you’ll be less likely to cute yourself :) food slips less
I’ve favorited this recipe! i can’t wait to try it!!!
I mentioned already, use a bigger knife while cutting, that will prevent food from slipping and you from cutting urself! (look for butcher knife with markings on the side specifically to prevent slipping!)
Certain onions make you cry more than others. believe it or not, larger knife also helps less tears! b/c you are making clean cuts that are faster…slower cuts aren’t as clean, so you get more “juice” coming out making you cry.
another helpful tip with onions…leave the stem on, it will hold onion together more. cut as many ring slices as you can, then put flat surface down and continue cutting around stem.
seriously, tho, watching you cut the pepper and apple with that teeny tiny knife scared the crap outta me!!! oh, with pepper…always skin side down! again, so it doesn’t “jump” when you cut it.
…ur knife handling freaks me out LOL google how to chop food properly! lol most ppl are afraid of big knives, but they actually HELP!! You’re more likely to have a small knife slip
Hi! love your site!
Just wanted to share with you something my grandma told me about cutting onions. You should drink a little bit of cold water and keep it in your mouth while cutting the onions.
I’ve tried it and it really works!
Keep up the good work!
