Energy drinks.....oy!

I will be the first to admit that I am not 100% eat clean all the time. Energy drinks are my new "unclean" habit. Working nights is a little rough and these magical cans of energy really do the trick. I know that I need to work on this habit of mine, but for the time being I think they are here to stay! I have just been trying to make up for them by making sure my snacks and meals are EXTRA clean! :) I haven't really been making too many awesome recipes lately! I gave a go at some ginger cookies that turned out terribly! I also made some protein bars that turned out pretty good! I took my previous recipe for chocolate protein bars and just left out the chocolate and added some wheat germ. They are more like protein cake ha! They are good though! Tonight I am going to make chicken paprikash. We shall see how it stands up! I am hungarian afterall and have had my fair share of ridiculously rich and full fat paprikash! :) I found the recipe on The Kitchen Table at eatclean.com

Eat Clean Chicken Paprikash
Ingredients

* 1/4 cup EVOO

In the meantime, put whole wheat flour and a sprinkle of S + P in a large ziploc bag. Add chicken and toss around to coat evenly. Push onions aside in pot and add all of the flour coated chicken. Lightly brown the chicken all over. Add in garlic and GOOD QUALITY PAPRIKA. Toast the paprika a few minutes by constantly mixing the chicken- onion- paprika mixture. Be careful not to burn the spice. Next add the diced tomatoes, water, and red pepper flakes (optional). Bring to a slow boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer , covered about 30 minutes.

Ladle about a cup of the tomato broth into a heat safe small container (glass measuring cup). slowly whisk in yogurt. add more sauce as needed. (mixture should be like a thick soup) Pour sour cream mixture into large pot with the rest of the sauce and chicken. mix to combine.
