Easy Chicken Thigh Recipe

Image
When you realize that you made this recipe almost a month ago and just now getting to it.... Originally from Delish , this is a Keto Chicken Thighs Recipe and is full of deliciousness. I did not add bacon, we used boneless chicken thighs instead of bone-in, we eliminated salt, we didn't use mushrooms, used onion powder in place of onions, garlic powder instead of garlic, mozzarella cheese instead of parmesan cheese, and butter + milk instead of heavy cream. Ingredients: 6 boneless, skinless, chicken thighs Pepper 1 tbsp onion powder 3/4 cup low sodium chicken broth 1/3 cup unsalted butter 2/3 cup fat free milk 1/3 cup reduced fat mozzarella cheese 1 tbsp Lemon juice 1 tsp Basil Directions: Season chicken with pepper. In a large skillet over medium-high, use cooking spray and spray the skillet and then add chicken. Cook until golden and seared, about 5 minutes and then flip and cook for another 5 minutes. Remove and add to a separate plate.  In the skillet, add onion powder, garlic

Happy weekend!  This week has felt like such a long week for some reason and, like always, I'm fairly behind on blog posts. Hopefully I can share one or two with you this weekend. I'm still on Noom and have seen some major changes in my weight and health since I started in April. The great thing about Noom is that you don't have to stop eating your favorite foods. I always make homemade dinners with healthier choices. This Homemade Hamburger Recipe is no different. The original recipe can be found HERE . We don't use salt in our recipes and I did make some substitutions in the ingredients below. Ingredients: 1 pound ground beef  1 tbsp cornstarch 1 tbsp paprika 1 1/2 tsp garlic powder 1 1/2 tsp onion powder 1 tsp splenda Black pepper 2 cups hot water 1 1/2 cups fat free milk 2 cups macaroni noodles 2 cups reduced fat cheddar cheese (or you can do a combination like we did) Directions: Heat a large skillet over medium/high heat. Spray with cooking spray and add the groun

Happy Sunday! I hope everyone is staying safe with Hurricane Hilary. I am fairly certain we heard thunder last night but we are seeing blue skies today :)  Earlier this week I made these Shredded BBQ Chicken Sliders. They were SO easy to make. The original recipe can be found from I Am Homesteader HERE but we made ours a little bit different. In the original recipe, you make a garlic butter beforehand, and I just combined everything into a crockpot.  Ingredients: 1/4 cup unsalted butter 2 tbsp garlic powder 2 tsp The Social Distancer by Pinch Spice Market 3 chicken breasts, boneless skinless 1/2 tsp paprika 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce 1 cup No Sugar Added, Lakanto BBQ Sauce 2 tbsp olive oil 1 tbsp onion powder 1 package Hawaiian rolls Directions: In a large crockpot, add chicken breasts to the bottom. Cover with garlic powder and unsalted butter (cut into pieces).  Add the Social Distancer, Paprika, and Worcestershire.  Top with bbq sauce, olive oil, and onion powder. I also added some
