Good news and OMG Chicken

Hubby and I went to see the Ortho Doc today.  We waited over a hour for our 5 minute appointment but all was great news.  Its not my tendon, nor is it a fracture.  Apparently I have bone spurs on my heels and he thinks one broke off which is causing inflammation (and pain) in my R talus joint.  Should go away with rest, motrin and a splint/boot for 2 weeks.  Bad news was that he couldn't believe how young I was after looking at my X-rays.  He said that I have very "beat up" ankles and they already show significant arthritis.  GREATTTTTT.  My plan at this point is to call an exercise physiologist.  I want them to evaluate my running and to see if I have horrible form, etc.  I also have to give up the vibrams for running.  Doc said that I need support and the barefoot movement is not one for me.  I will also run this past the exercise phys (no pun intended... get it, run it by him????)  HA!  Anyways great news but eye opening information.  He also noted that if I go back to running and this reoccurs... marathoning days are over.  Humph.  One day at a time, right?

This also means that I can drive home to PA this weekend!!  I'm already making plans... got a haircut scheduled for Sat morning... St Patty's festivities Sat night and then some visits Sunday!  WHOO HOOO!!! Can't wait.  I'm only bringing D1 because Hubby is staying home and I don't know if I can handle two kids on my own away from home, not to mention the bum leg.  We will have a fun girls weekend!

Onto FOOD.

I was Pinteresting chicken recipes, as we are really starting to steer clear of anything except Venison and chicken these days.  (Of course I will make Corned Beef around St Patty's!!!) I came across a recipe entitled OMG Chicken.  Looked good and simple so I figured I would give it a try.  I saw it made with mayo (no thanks) or there was a substitution for Sour Cream or Yogurt... YES PLEASE!!!  I estimated the extra calories at 160ish cals divided by 3 breasts (= 53cals) added to the chicken. NOT TOO SHABBY!

1/2C Yogurt (I used 2% Chobani Greek yogurt)
1/4C Parmesan Cheese
bread crumbs
chicken breasts

Preheat oven to 400 degrees

1. Mix Yogurt with Cheese
2. Spray a baking dish with Pam.
3. Place chicken in pan.
4. Cover Chicken with yogurt mixture
5. Sprinkle with bread crumbs

6. Place chicken in oven for 20-30 mins or until Chicken temp is 165degrees

Then I thought I would pair it with a household favorite.... Mushroom Rice.  Just make a couple cups of rice (we use a long grain mix) and then sautee some mushrooms (we used oyster but use shiitake all the time) in a bit of EVOO and salt.  Once mushrooms are browned chop them and add to cooked rice & mix!

Add A to B

The Mushroom rice

The cooked chicken

Dinner is SERVED!

This was the most moist baked chicken I have ever eaten!!!!!  It was REALLY GOOD.  Hubby said "how did you make this??  You CAN make this again!"  SCORE for the home team!!  So easy and REALLY good!
