Pesto Chicken Roulade

This pesto chicken roulade was super easy to make and insanely delicious! Everyone cleared their plates, including our 3 & 4 year olds!

PESTO CHICKEN ROULADE
...
Start with chicken breast, and cut them in half lengthwise so they lay thin. Put them in a freezer bag and pound until about a half inch thick.
.
Spread pesto (I made mine easily with basil, almonds, parmesan, olive oil, and lemon juice) along the inside, then stuff with a few chunks of fresh mozzarella. Roll up tight, secure with a few toothpicks.
.
Dip roulade in egg wash (just crack a couple eggs and beat in a dish), then coat in bread crumbs. Bake in a pan at 375 for about 45 minutes.
.
Pan sauce is easily made with 2tbsp butter, 2tbsp flour, 2 cups chicken stock, half a lemon, and a tablespoon of pesto.
.
Serve with roasted veggies, a salad, rice would be nice. 😀

21 Day Fix: Before & After

These pictures are taken 3 weeks apart. Only a 4 lb difference in between the two. But it's not about what was lost that's important, it's about what I've gained.

The girl on the left was mentally and physically exhausted. She was struggling with bouts of post partum depression, trying her best to hide from the world. She could barely find the energy to get up out of bed in the morning, especially after nursing a 6-week old baby all night. She was running on 6+ cups of coffee most days, then countering with multiple glasses of wine in evening. She was short-tempered with her kids once the caffeine wore out and just plain angry. Angry that she couldn't unroll her yoga mat because she couldn't focus. Angry that she had no time for herself.

Three pregnancies had worn hard on my body. Strangers would often stop and ask if I was feeling ok because of the way I carried myself. "Are you limping? Are you hurt?" Not consciously, no... But I WAS in fact hurting.
..
When I began this journey, I didn't care about the number on the scale or even the state of my body. It wasn't about that. I just didn't feel good, and I knew I needed help. Everyone deserves to feel good, right? But I knew I couldn't do it alone.

With the help and support of my sister, she coached me through the 21-day fix and incorporated Shakeology into my diet. Even though I was skeptical, it was all 100% guaranteed, so what did I have to lose? She was with me, motivating me and supporting me every step of the way. She was helping hold me accountable to finishing what I started.

And here I am 3 weeks later.
...
The girl on the right MAKES time for herself every day. She feels GOOD in the morning and doesn't rely on caffeine or alcohol to get through the day. She doesn't feel sore, doesn't make excuses, and she walks with more confidence. She has more patience with her family. She is stronger, physically and mentally. She sets goals every day and she crushes them. She has only begun her journey, and she may have a long way to go; but she's finally headed in the right direction.
