Asian Glazed Chicken Legs

I havnt been posting as much primarily because I’m busy, but also because I’ve changed my eating habits. I am now eating healthy and working out! This recipe falls on the lighter side and it’s very tasty!

Ingredients
8 medium chicken drumsticks, skin removed
olive oil spray
1 cup water
1 tbsp Sriracha hot sauce (more or less to taste)
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup soy sauce (make sure it’s low sodium)
4 tsp agave nectar (or sugar)
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tsp ginger, grated
2 tbsp chives or scallions, chopped
1 tsp sesame seeds

In a heavy large saucepan, brown chicken on high for 3-4 minutes with a little spray oil.

Add water, balsamic, soy sauce, agave, garlic, ginger, hot sauce and cook on high until liquid comes to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered for about 20 minutes.

Remove cover and bring heat to high, allowing sauce to reduce down, about 8-10 minutes, until it becomes a thick glaze, turning chicken occasionally. (Keep an eye on glaze, you don’t want it to burn when it start becoming thick) Transfer chicken to a platter and pour glaze on top. Top with chives and sesame seeds and serve.

Apple Cinnamon Flaxseed Waffles

Yesterday, I made a weekly stop at my favorite grocery store in Dallas, Central Market. I was just passing through the frozen section and these waffles caught my attention. These waffles are made with flaxseed and are a good source for protein and fiber. I got apple cinnamon but they also had pumpkin spice available.

I popped them into the microwave for about 30 seconds and put a little syrup on it and it was delicious. Quick and easy. Healthy and yummy!
