Chilly Weather ...

Now that the weather in Malibu is finally cooling off, it's about time that I make some adjustments as well. Apart from needing some new fall clothes, or at least a jacket ... I thought I would start off by making my warm and cozy chicken soup. It's basically something that I threw together one very chilly day in Baton Rouge. It's super quick and easy to make and most importantly, really delicious.

Ingredients:

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts

Chicken seasoning

Chicken stock

Virgin olive oil

Water

Ground Coriander

Cilantro

Black Pepper

Salt or Seasoned Salt

Lemon

1 Avocado

Celery

Chicken:

• Wash the chicken and season with chicken seasoning. I normally wash the chicken with lemon, but that's just something my mom always did; you can wash it as you would normally do
• Bake the chicken at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes

Soup:

• Bring about 3 cups of broth and 1 cup of water to a boil
• Add about half a cup of virgin olive oil
• Season with Coriander, Black Pepper, Chicken seasoning and Salt to taste
• Add cilantro ( as much or as little as you like)
• Add about 2 stalks of celery (chopped)
• Squeeze in lemon juice from half a lemon
• Remove chicken from oven and chop up ... add to soup 
• Allow the combination to boil together for another 5 minutes
• Serve with avocado slices and enjoy !!!
