DUMP & BAKE SMOTHERED CHICKEN DINNER 🍗🤎 The kind of dinner that tastes like you spent all day in the kitchen, but really you just threw everything in a baking dish and let the oven do the work! Tender, juicy chicken smothered in homemade gravy with hardly any effort. Serve it over mashed potatoes or rice with your favorite sides and you’ve got yourself a good home-cooked meal! RECIPE BELOW ⬇️ Ingredients: 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs Olive oil Salt & pepper Garlic powder Onion powder Paprika Cajun seasoning (optional, for a little kick) 1 sprig fresh rosemary 2 tbsp butter 2 cups chicken broth Carrots or your favorite veggies 2 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water (use 3 tbsp of each for a thicker gravy) Directions: 1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Add chicken thighs and carrots to a baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil and season generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and Cajun seasoning if using. Don’t be shy with the seasonings! This is where all your flavor comes from, so eyeball it and season heavily. 2. Add rosemary, butter, and chicken broth. Cover tightly with foil and bake at 350°F for approximately 50 minutes. 3. Remove from oven and carefully pour just the broth into a separate bowl or measuring cup. 4. Mix 2 tbsp cornstarch with 2 tbsp cold water to make a slurry. If you prefer a thicker gravy, use 3 tbsp cornstarch and 3 tbsp water instead. Stir the slurry into the hot broth until well combined, then pour everything back over the chicken and veggies. 5. Return to the oven uncovered at 400°F for approximately 20 minutes, or until the gravy has thickened and the chicken is tender and fully cooked (165°F internally). Serve over creamy mashed potatoes or rice with green beans, a warm dinner roll, or whatever your heart desires! That’s the beauty of cooking. Make it how YOU like it! 🤎 Save this one for an easy, comforting weeknight dinner! #easymeal #easyrecipe #momlife #fallvibes #smotheredchicken

💥EASY MEDITERRANEAN CHICKEN KEBABS This makes 4 generously sized healthy dinner plates with 460 cals, 69g protein, 12 net carbs per plate. These have so much flavor, theyre so easy to make, and so good! If you are looking for a simple high protein meal prep, and easy weeknight meal, or just a good healthy recipe that tastes good, you’ve got to give this a try. Make it with my high protein lowcarb @Kaizen Food Company rice, or any rice that you prefer! Ingredients: 2 lbs ground chicken 1 small onion 4 garlic cloves 1/2 small red bell pepper Large handful fresh parsley 2 tbsp tomato paste 1 tbsp sumac 1 tsp Aleppo pepper 1 tbsp smoked paprika 1/2 tsp ground cumin 1/4 tsp turmeric Salt & pepper 1 tbsp olive oil Here is how I made it: 1️⃣ Preheat oven to 425°F. 2️⃣ Process onion, garlic, bell pepper & parsley in a small food processor until fine. 3️⃣ Add this to a bowl with the ground chicken, 2 tbsp tomato paste, and the spices: 1 tbsp sumac, 1 tsp Aleppo pepper (or chili flakes), 1 tbsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp cumin, 1/4 tsp turmeric, salt & pepper. Drizzle with olive oil. 4️⃣ Mix well then transfer to a sheet pan and spread evenly. 5️⃣ Smooth the edges, then cut vertical lines down the chicken to form individual kebabs with space between them. Add little indentations with the back of a spatula. 6️⃣ Pop in the oven for 18-20 mins, then move to the top rack and broil for 2-3 mins to finish off with color. 7️⃣ For the smoky sauce mix 1 cup Greek yogurt, 1 small grated garlic clove, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp Aleppo pepper or chili flakes, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp olive oil, and a pinch of salt. 8️⃣ For the bright tomato salad: combine 1 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered, 1/8 white onion thinly sliced, 2–3 tbsp fresh parsley, 1 tsp sumac, 1 tbsp lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let sit for a few minutes. Plate it over rice or my Kaizen high protein low carb rice, regular or brown rice. ENJOY! . . . #healthyrecipes #mediterraneanfood #lowcarb #easymeal
