In my previous post, I mentioned that I'm taking up a new diet challenge that consist of 6 days of healthy diet & 1 cheat day every single week. Still I refused to sacrifice taste for health. Thus, I've been on a mission hunting for healthy yet mouth watering dishes. A favourite of mine that I found fairly recently is Chicken Fingers and I paired it with Mango Avocado Salsa (turn it into Mango Pear Avocado Salsa) that I found on another blog plus a green salad on the side.
I made a few tweaks to both the recipe to suit my palate and to make up for the ingredients that I don't have on hand. This is a really simple meal to make yet one that is capable to excite your taste bud with its delightful flavours!
Chicken Fingers Recipe:
Ingredients:
- 2 chicken breast
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 whole egg
- 1 egg white
- 1/4 cup low fat drinking coconut milk
- 1/2 lemon juiced
- 3/4 cup whole wheat bread crumbs (I made my own)
- 3/4 cup dessicated coconut
- Olive oil to oil the baking sheet
Method:
- Preheat oven to 350 F
- Cut chicken breasts into strips
- Combine ingredients 2-5 and rub them all over the chicken strips
- Combine ingredients 6-9 in a bowl and mix it well (egg mix)
- Combine ingredients 10 & 11 and mix them together (bread crumb mix)
- Oil the baking sheet
- Dip the chicken strips in the egg mix then coat it with the bread crumb mix and lay it on the baking sheet.
- Repeat step 7 for the rest of the chicken strips
- Bake the chicken strips in the oven for 30-40minutes or until the chicken strips are golden & crispy
Mango Avocado Salsa Recipe:
Ingredients:
- 1 large mango peeled and diced
- 1 avocado diced
- 1 yellow onion diced
- 1 big handful cilantro chopped
- 1/2 pear chopped
- 1/2 lemon juiced
- 2 teaspoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Method:
Gently toss all the ingredients together and voila it's ready to serve with chicken fingers or any other meat or fish of your choice.
Happy Cooking & Happy Eating!

Harlow! Apa khabar? Lama tak jumpa ye? MY BAD!
This is a poor bloggie. Can't believe it's almost 2 years that I have not showed S-A-Y-wEn any love. Guess it's time for some loving maintenance.
Quick update about me:
Bought a house in fall 2010. Then, I went back to Malaysia alone in the winter time for 1.5 months. When I came back, we moved into the new house (well the husband moved in first) just in time to celebrate Christmas in a new place that has a working fire place (finally right?) and brand new washer and dryer (fuh have been so deprived of that for the past 2 years that I was in Seattle).

Now that we have a place of our own, we have a small vegetable garden on our deck. Other than our deck, I have to say our backyard is a nightmare! Weeding still in progress LOL.

Some of you might remember that 2 years ago back in 2009, I had a fitness goal but I never really kept up with it. Gone are the days because I made it a point this year to view fitness as a lifestyle. I make sure that I workout at least 3 times a week (I usually try to hit 5) and eat healthy 6 days a week with one cheat day (this I have to try like REALLY REALLY hard). I usually abandon my fitness goals in a matter of weeks but this time I've manage to keep it up for nearly 4 months now and still going strong. WHY? Because I see real results.
For the first time in my life, I'm able to do regular push ups not just one but a number of them and I'm moving on to the more challenging variations. Just 2 weeks ago, I was so happy that I am finally able to do my front split AGAIN after losing the flexibility for so many years!!!
Anyway, that should be sufficient for my first post after 2 years of MIA. Till then!
