Place the chicken in a ziploc bag with the marinade and mush it around to ensure the chicken is fully coated.

Refrigerate and marinade for at least 1 hour, but preferably overnight.

BAKE

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Remove the chicken from the bag, discarding excess marinade, and bake for 10 minutes in preheated oven.

After the 10 minutes, turn the chicken and bake until no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, about 15 more minutes.

BROIL/GRILL

Preheat the oven to broil/grill.

Remove the chicken from the bag, discarding excess marinade, and broil until no longer pink inside, usually 4-8 minutes per side.

Prepare broccoli according to instructions on package.

Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Beat eggs in medium bowl until blended.

Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot.

Pour in egg mixture.

As eggs begin to set, scramble them.

Repeat (without stirring constantly) until eggs are thickened and no liquid egg remains. Season with salt/pepper.

Heat the oil in the pan over medium heat.

Add the garlic and sauté for a minute or two until fragrant.

Over high heat, add the spinach, salt, and pepper and stir rapidly until spinach has wilted.

Serve.

First, rub the chicken with olive oil and lemon pepper. If cooking on stovetop, save some oil for the pan.

STOVETOP

Heat the rest of olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat, place chicken breasts in and cook until edges are opaque, about 10 minutes.

Flip to the other side, then cover the pan, lower the heat and cook for another 10 minutes.

BAKED

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Place chicken on broiler pan (recommended) or baking sheet.

Bake for 10 minutes, flip and bake 15 more minutes (or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit).

BROILED/GRILLED

Setup oven so top rack is 3-4 inches from heating element.

Set oven to broil and preheat on high.

Broil chicken 3-8 minutes on each side. Actual time will vary based on thickness of breasts and proximity to the heating element.

Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C).

Slice tomatoes in half down through the stem and rub them with oil. Season them with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Bake for 30-35 minutes until soft. Serve.

Spread oil over breasts and season with salt/pepper and italian seasoning to taste.

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the chicken.

Cook for about 6-10 minutes on each side until fully cooked.

Meanwhile, prepare the topping by mixing the tomatoes and basil together.

When chicken is done, place sliced mozzarella on top of each breast and continue cooking for another minute or two until it has softened.

Remove and top with tomato mixture and a drizzle of pesto.

Serve.

Cook riced cauliflower according to package.

Meanwhile finely chop the spinach and garlic.

When cauliflower is done and still hot, add in the spinach, oil, garlic and some salt and pepper. Mix well.

Combine blue cheese and thyme in a small bowl.

Loosen chicken skin and gently spread cheese mixture beneath the skin, being careful not to tear the skin. Massage skin to spread it around evenly.

Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat.

Once the bacon is finished, remove it and chop it up. Add the zucchini noodles and saute them in the bacon grease, turning them continuously, until they are soft but not soggy, about 5 minutes. Mix in the bacon bits.

Remove from heat and serve.

Preheat oven to 450 F (230 C).

Take the strips of bacon and cut in half lengthwise so that you effectively double the number of strips (12 for each sandwich).

For each side of a 'bun', use 6 strips, with 3 going vertically, and 3 going horizontally. Intertwine the pieces to make a weave.

When both sides of the 'bun' are created, place them on a baking sheet and cook in oven for 20-30 minutes, flipping half way through.

Cook eggs according to your preference.

Remove bacon from oven, and once it has cooled a bit, put the eggs in between the 'buns' to form the sandwich.

Serve.

Season both sides generously with salt, pepper, and any other preferred seasonings.

Place a skillet over high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the tuna steaks. Sear for about 1-2 minutes on each side for rare to medium-rare doneness. If you prefer your tuna more well-done, cook for an additional 1-2 minutes per side. Be careful not to overcook, as tuna can become dry.

Remove the tuna from the pan and let it rest for a minute or two.

Slice the tuna against the grain for serving.

Bring water to boil and continue boiling until eggs reach desired doneness. Typically, 6-7 mins from point of boiling for soft boiled eggs and 8-10 mins for hard boiled eggs.

Peel the eggs, season to taste (salt, pepper, sriracha are all good) and eat.
