CHICKEN AND AVOCADO TACOS WITH CREAMY CILANTRO SAUCE

CHICKEN AND AVOCADO TACOS WITH CREAMY CILANTRO SAUCE Spicy pan grilled chicken and avocado tacos topped with a creamy cilantro lime sauce. These tasty tacos are bursting with flavor and are made in under 30 minutes! Take tacos to a whole new level with the addition of avocado and my favorite cilantro cream sauce. If you’ve had my popular shrimp tacos, then you’re going to love this chicken version. The chicken and avocado make a delicious pair and complement each other perfectly. The real star of the dish is this flavor-packed cilantro lime sauce. It’s creamy, zesty and makes a delicious addition to the chicken and avocado. The chicken is seasoned with taco seasoning and garlic. You can use it right after seasoning it or marinate it in the fridge for up to 48 hours. Once you’re ready to cook the chicken, simply cook it on the stove-top in a few teaspoons of oil. And because the chicken is cut into small bite size pieces, it will absorb all the flavor and chicken will cook in under 15 m...

Sweet and Spicy Sriracha Baked Chicken Wings Every year I try to challenge myself in the kitchen by cooking at least one thing a month that takes me completely out of my comfort zone. For the record, cookies are comfort zone… muffins and scones are my safe place… chewy blondies and rich chocolate brownies feel as safe a fuzzy blanket, and plates of pasta are always a blinking neon “HAPPY” sign… So what get’s me anxious behind the countertop? MEAT. Not all meat; I can cook a juicy burger or Sicilian Braciole without breaking a sweat. It’s mainly meat that needs prep. You know… the butchering, to put it delicately. It makes me cringe and clam up and want to run very very fast in the other direction. I’m a wimp like that. Hands-down my favorite appetizer to order when we dine out is sticky, spicy, saucy chicken wings. They’re such a treat because they’re something I never ever ever make at home. Or I should say, up until last week I never ever made at home. February was all about the chic...

CHICKEN ENCHILA DA SKILLET DINNER: LOW CARB TEX-MEX One pan chicken enchilada skillet dinner recipe is quick, easy, and low carb. It cooks in about 15 minutes, has 7 net carbs per serving and is so good the whole family will love it! This, y’all, is the perfect weeknight meal! It’s cheesy, creamy explosions of Tex-Mex flavor in every single keto-friendly bite. Be sure to check out my giant guide to cauliflower rice techniques, too! For this recipe you’ll need: cauliflower, chicken, chicken stock, oil, tomatoes with chiles, canned whole baby corn on the cob (usually available in the Asian foods section), chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, Mexican oregano (or regular oregano), Mexican blend cheese, cilantro This was one of my most satisfying adaptions ever. I mean, I’ve made low carb chicken enchilada casserole before but honestly the lack of corn tortillas and corn flavor kind of left me frustrated. It was like biting into a beautiful chocolate cake and finding out it was carob – n...
