Garlic Butter Chicken and Potatoes Skillet

by Rebecca August 27, 2022
written by Rebecca

PREP TIME: 10 mins | COOK TIME: 20 mins | YIELD: 4 servings

This scrumptious Garlic Butter Chicken and Potatoes is an amazing one-skillet meal that you can easily make at any time. It is one of the best and tastiest weeknight dinners that you can make in just thirty minutes from start to finish.

INGREDIENTS

1 tbsp olive oil

3 tbsp butter, divided

1 1/2 pound (650 grams) chicken breast, cut into strips

1 1/2 pound (650 grams) baby yellow potatoes, quartered

1 tsp fresh thyme, chopped

5 garlic cloves, minced

1 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped

1 tsp fresh oregano, chopped

Crushed red chili pepper flakes, optional

Salt and fresh cracked pepper

Marinade:

1 tbsp olive oil

1/4 c. soy sauce (use coconut amino for strictly paleo)

Fresh cracked pepper

1 tbsp hot sauce (we used Sriracha)

How to make Garlic Butter Chicken and Potatoes Skillet

Step 1: Place the chicken strips with soy sauce, olive oil, pepper, and hot sauce in a large bowl. Toss well and set aside.

Step 2: In boiling salted water, parboil the potatoes for about 8 minutes.

Step 3: Heat 1 tbsp of each olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the butter has melted, add the drained potatoes to the skillet and cook for about 4 minutes. Stir and continue to cook the potatoes for another 4 to 5 minutes or until fork-tender and golden. To a plate, transfer the potatoes and set them aside.

Step 4: Add the rest of the 2 tbsp butter to the same skillet and melt over medium heat. In the skillet, lay the chicken strips in a single layer. Set the drained marinade aside for later. To the chicken, add the garlic and red chili pepper flakes. Cook the chicken on each side for about 1 minute until nicely browned.

Step 5: To the chicken, stir in the reserved marinade and cook further until the marinade is cooked. Then, add the fresh herbs and stir. Return the potatoes to the skillet and cook until heated through. If needed, adjust the salt and pepper.

Step 6: Take the garlic butter chicken and potatoes from the heat and serve right away garnished with extra crushed chili pepper, fresh herbs, and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. Enjoy!

Spring Rolls

by Rebecca August 27, 2022
written by Rebecca

Prep Time: 10 mins | Cook Time: 30 mins | Total Time: 40 mins | Yield: 24 spring rolls

Spring rolls are my favorite! They are crispy, super light, and tender vegetarian appetizers that I can easily and quickly make whenever! These spring rolls are great to make in advance and freezer-friendly. I love these spring rolls by themselves, but these are amazing with Sweet and Sour Sauce and Chinese Hot Mustard for dipping.

For best results, I do not recommend substituting the spring roll wrappers. These wrappers are thinner than our traditional egg roll wrappers. When filling the rolls, ensure not to overfill them. I only use about 2 tbsp of filling for each wrapper. This also will help keep the rolls thin enough to fry well even after freezing. If making these rolls ahead, keep these filled rolls in one layer to prevent them from sticking together.

Ingredients

2 carrots, sliced thinly

1/4 c. canola oil, divided

2 cloves garlic, minced

8 oz. bamboo shoots, sliced thinly

2 tbsp cornstarch

2 tbsp mirin

canola oil, for frying

1/4 c. low sodium soy sauce

2 tsp sesame oil

8 c. napa cabbage, sliced thinly

24 8” square spring roll wrappers

How to make Spring Rolls

Step 1: Into a large, heavy skillet, heat half of the canola oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the napa cabbage and cook for about 8 to 10 minutes, stirring until most of the liquid has cooked off.

Step 2: To the napa cabbage in the skillet, add the garlic, carrots, and bamboo shoots. Continue to cook for another minute, stirring. Then, add the mirin along with the soy sauce and sesame oil. Stir well and cook further until done. Remove from the heat and allow the filling to cool completely.

Step 3: Whisk the cornstarch with 2 tbsp water until the lumps are gone.

Step 4: Around the edges of each spring roll wrapper, brush the slurry. In a long rectangular shape, add about 2 tbsp of the filling. Then, fold the sides of the wrapper and tightly roll it closed.

Step 5: In a Dutch oven, heat 3 inches of oil to 325 degrees. Add the spring rolls to the hot oil and fry for about 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown.

Keto Chicken Broccoli Casserole

by Rebecca August 26, 2022
written by Rebecca

Prep Time: 5 mins | Cook Time: 16 mins | Total Time: 21 mins | Servings: 6

This casserole is a delicious keto dinner that is stunningly easy to make. Throw this keto chicken broccoli casserole together in less than twenty-five minutes and enjoy a healthy meal with less than 5 grams of net carbs in each serving. This casserole is one of the best casserole recipes I’ve tried and this has been proven to please even the fussiest eaters!

We broil the casserole to melt the cheese, but you can also bake it for about 15 to 20 minutes at 350 degrees until the cheese has melted. And speaking of cheese, you are welcome to use any cheese that melts well like cheddar, Gruyere, or Fontana. You can even add all of them if desired!

Ingredients

2 cloves garlic, minced

¼ c. butter, divided

1 ½ c. shredded mozzarella, divided

12 oz. broccoli, coarsely chopped

1 c. heavy whipping cream

½ c. grated Parmesan cheese

3 c. cooked chopped chicken (about 1 ¼ pound)

Salt and pepper

How to make Keto Chicken Broccoli Casserole

Step 1: Melt 2 tbsp butter in a 10-inch ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add the broccoli to the skillet once the butter has melted and saute for about 4 minutes until bright green and just tender. To a bowl, transfer the broccoli.

Step 2: In the pan, melt the rest of the butter. Once melted, add the garlic to the pan and cook for about 1 minute until aromatic. Then, add the cream and bring to simmer. Continue to cook for another 3 to 5 minutes or until reduced by about half.

Step 3: Whisk in half c mozzarella and all of the Parmesan cheese until melted. To taste, season with salt and pepper. Next, add the broccoli and chicken. Stir well and top with the rest of the 1 c mozzarella cheese.

Step 4: Prepare the broiler and preheat it. Place the pan around 6 inches from the heat and broil for about 2 to 3 minutes until the cheese is starting to brown.

Egg Roll Recipe

by Rebecca August 26, 2022
written by Rebecca

Prep Time: 30 mins | Cook Time: 45 mins | Total Time: 1 hr 15 mins | Servings: 40 egg rolls

These egg rolls are my mom’s favorite. Super crispy with a delicious filling. These egg rolls are a great option for meal planning as they are freezer-friendly and reheat well. Throw together a big batch and serve with your favorite dipping.

Ingredients

3 ounces vermicelli rice noodles, (Chinese angel hair rice sticks)

40 frozen egg roll or spring roll wrappers, (8 x 8-inch), thawed

1 medium onion, finely chopped

1 pound ground pork

4 c. green cabbage, thinly sliced

8 ounces mushrooms, brown or white

2 medium carrots, grated or cut into matchsticks

2 teaspoons salt, or to taste, (divided)

1 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1 egg, (beaten) for sealing the egg rolls

Peanut oil or Canola Oil for frying, (2-3” of oil)

1/2 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste

How to make Egg Rolls

Step 1: In a large heatproof bowl, place the noodles. Over the noodles, pour the steaming hot water. Pull the noodles apart using forks and allow them to rest for about 5 to 7 minutes until tender. To cool, rinse the noodles with cold water, then drain well. To about 1-inch pieces, chop the rice noodles and place them into a large mixing bowl.

Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the ground pork to the skillet. Season with half tsp salt and saute until completely cooked. Into the mixing bowl with the noodles, transfer the cooked ground beef.

Step 3: Add 2 tbsp oil to the same skillet along with the sliced mushrooms, diced onions, and shredded carrots. Cook for about 5 to 6 minutes, stirring often until softened. Then, add 4 c cabbage and continue to cook for additional 2 minutes until just wilted. To taste, season with half tsp salt and transfer the mixture to the bowl with the noodles.

Step 4: Now, sprinkle the egg roll mixture with 1 tsp salt, half tsp black pepper, 1 1/2 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 tsp sesame oil. If needed, drain any excess liquid.

Step 5: After peeling back 1 egg roll wrapper, lay it in a triangle shape on a clean working surface. To keep the rest of the egg roll wrapper from drying out, keep them covered with a damp paper towel. Onto the bottom of the wrapper, add 1/4 c. of the filling. Over the filling, fold the bottom corner of the wrapper and tuck it underneath. Tightly roll towards the middle, then fold in the sides. Roll it again and lightly brush the last flap with the beaten egg. Then, roll to seal. Do the same for the rest of the egg rolls. Cover the shaped egg rolls with plastic wrap to keep them from drying out.

Step 6: In a Dutch oven or fryer, heat the oil to 350 degrees F. Fry the egg rolls 5 to 7 pieces at a time for about 5 to 6 minutes or until crispy and golden brown. While frying, make sure to keep the oil temperature between 340 to 350 degrees F. To a wire rack, transfer the fried egg rolls and allow them to cool for about 15 minutes. Then, serve the egg rolls with your preferred sauce. Enjoy!

To cool, rinse the noodles with cold water, then drain well. To about 1-inch pieces, chop the rice noodles and place them into a large mixing bowl.

Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the ground pork to the skillet. Season with half tsp salt and saute until completely cooked. Into the mixing bowl with the noodles, transfer the cooked ground beef.

Step 3: Add 2 tbsp oil to the same skillet along with the sliced mushrooms, diced onions, and shredded carrots. Cook for about 5 to 6 minutes, stirring often until softened. Then, add 4 c cabbage and continue to cook for additional 2 minutes until just wilted. To taste, season with half tsp salt and transfer the mixture to the bowl with the noodles.

Step 4: Now, sprinkle the egg roll mixture with 1 tsp salt, half tsp black pepper, 1 1/2 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 tsp sesame oil. If needed, drain any excess liquid.

Step 5: After peeling back 1 egg roll wrapper, lay it in a triangle shape on a clean working surface. To keep the rest of the egg roll wrapper from drying out, keep them covered with a damp paper towel. Onto the bottom of the wrapper, add 1/4 c. of the filling. Over the filling, fold the bottom corner of the wrapper and tuck it underneath. Tightly roll towards the middle, then fold in the sides. Roll it again and lightly brush the last flap with the beaten egg. Then, roll to seal. Do the same for the rest of the egg rolls. Cover the shaped egg rolls with plastic wrap to keep them from drying out.

Step 6: In a Dutch oven or fryer, heat the oil to 350 degrees F. Fry the egg rolls 5 to 7 pieces at a time for about 5 to 6 minutes or until crispy and golden brown. While frying, make sure to keep the oil temperature between 340 to 350 degrees F. To a wire rack, transfer the fried egg rolls and allow them to cool for about 15 minutes. Then, serve the egg rolls with your preferred sauce. Enjoy!

Coconut Shrimp with 2-Ingredient Dipping Sauce

by Rebecca August 26, 2022
written by Rebecca

Prep Time: 15 mins | Cook Time: 15 mins | Total Time: 30 mins | Servings: 6 as an appetizer

I am obsessed with these coconut-coated shrimps! They are superbly crunchy with a touch of tropical flavor. Serve these with the simple two ingredients of coconut shrimp sauce for a crowd-pleasing appetizer at your next gathering.

Ingredients

Coconut Shrimp:

light olive oil, vegetable oil, or coconut oil

1 pound large shrimp, 21-25 count, peeled and deveined with tails left on

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

2 large eggs, beaten with a fork

1/4 c. all-purpose flour

1 1/2 c. sweetened shredded coconut

1/2 c. panko bread crumbs

1 lime, cut into wedges, to serve

1/2 teaspoon salt

Shrimp Dipping Sauce:

1/4 c. apricot preserves or apricot fruit spread

1/4 c. sweet chili sauce

How to make Coconut Shrimp with 2-Ingredient Dipping Sauce

Step 1: In cold water, rinse the shrimp and pat dry using paper towels.

Step 2: Ready three shallow bowls. Mix 1/4 c. flour with 1/2 tsp garlic powder and 1/2 tsp salt in the first bowl. In the next bowl, beat 2 eggs using a fork. Combine 1 1/2 c. coconut flakes with half c. panko bread crumbs in the third bowl.

Step 3: In flour, dredge the shrimp. Dip the shrimp in the beaten eggs and coat in the crumb mixture, pressing the coconut crumb mixture onto the shrimp using your hands. On a platter, place the breaded shrimp. Do the same for the remaining shrimp. You can keep the breaded shrimp in the fridge for later or cook it right away.

Step 4: Add enough oil to a large pan, enough to cover the bottom (about 1/4-inch deep). Add the shrimp to the pan once the oil reaches 350 degrees F and saute for about 2 minutes on each side until golden brown and the shrimp is pink and completely cooked. I recommend cooking the shrimp in batches to prevent overcrowding the pan.

Step 5: Once the shrimps are done, whisk 1/4 c. sweet chili sauce and 1/4 c. apricot preserves until well blended.

Step 6: Serve the coconut shrimp immediately with the dipping sauce on the side and squeeze some fresh lime juice over the shrimp. Enjoy!
