CREAMY GARLIC MUSHROOM CHICKEN THIGHS

by Rebecca September 8, 2022
written by Rebecca

Tender and juicy chicken thighs smothered in a mouthwatering thick, and creamy mushroom sauce. It’s an amazing dinner that you can easily and quickly make at any time.

INGREDIENTS

Chicken:

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs (around 6-8 fillets)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon dried rosemary

¼ teaspoon cracked black pepper

½ teaspoon salt

Sauce:

4 cloves garlic, minced (or 1 tablespoon minced garlic)

8 ounces sliced brown mushrooms

1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley

1 ½ c. heavy cream/half and half

1 tablespoon butter

½ c. fresh shredded Parmesan cheese

½ – 1 teaspoon dried thyme (adjust according to taste)

½ – 1 teaspoon dried rosemary (adjust according to taste)

HOW TO MAKE CREAMY GARLIC MUSHROOM CHICKEN THIGHS

Step 1: Using paper towels, pat the chicken thighs dry and trim the excess fat off.

Step 2: Mix the onion powder with garlic powder, herbs, salt, and pepper. Evenly coat all sides of the chicken with the seasoning.

Step 3: In a large pan or skillet, heat 1 tbsp oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken thighs to the pan/skillet and sear for about 8 minutes on each side until the internal temperature of the thighs reaches 165 degrees F.

Step 4: You can add the rest of the oil if needed to the pan if cooking the chicken thighs in batches.

Step 5: To a plate, transfer the chicken thighs. Set aside and keep them warm.

Step 6: Melt the butter in the same pan/skillet. Add the mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Cook the mushrooms for about 3 minutes until tender. Next, add the garlic, parsley, thyme, and rosemary. Continue to cook for a minute more until aromatic.

Step 7: To the pan/skillet, add the cream. Stir and bring to a simmer. Decrease the heat and cook further until the sauce has slightly thickened. Then, whisk in the Parmesan cheese. Continue to cook for another 2 minutes, stirring often, until the cheese has melted.

Step 8: Add the chicken back to the pan and season with extra salt and pepper.

Step 9: Serve the Creamy Garlic Mushroom Chicken Thighs immediately, garnished with some fresh parsley. Enjoy!

Notes:

For this recipe, you can use fresh herbs. I use 2 teaspoons each. You can also swap thyme or rosemary with basil and oregano, or tarragon.

I do not recommend using low-fat milk. For proper consistency, use cream/half&half.

Feel free to add 1/3 c dry white wine with the mushrooms for an extra layer of flavor. Reduce to half, then add the garlic and cream.

Serve this chicken dish over mashed potatoes, pasta, rice, cauliflower rice, or zucchini noodles. If desired, serve this with a simple veggie on the side.

Meatloaf in a muffin pan

by Rebecca September 7, 2022
written by Rebecca

Prep time: 25 mins | Cook time: 35 mins | Total time: 60 mins | Servings: 6

These mini meatloaves are a fun, great alternative to the traditional full-sized meatloaf. To make the meatloaf in a muffin tin, the baking time will be shortened. Plus, the kids will absolutely adore these mini bad boys!

Ingredients

1 ½ lb ground beef chuck

1 medium clove garlic, finely minced

1 tsp extra-virgin olive oil

½ c. finely chopped onion

1 c. ketchup, divided

1 large egg, beaten

1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

½ tsp dried oregano

1/2 c. soft fine breadcrumbs

½ tsp dried thyme

Cooking spray, or melted butter, for greasing pan

¾ tsp kosher salt

½ tsp freshly ground black pepper

How to make Meatloaf in a muffin pan

Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees F. Using nonstick cooking spray, lightly grease a muffin pan. As an alternative, you can grease the pan with melted butter.

Step 2: In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the onion and saute for about 3 minutes or until the onion is tender and lightly browned.

Step 3: To the skillet, add the finely minced garlic and cook for another minute, stirring.

Step 4: In a small bowl, place the ground beef, half c ketchup, bread crumbs, beaten egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, oregano, and thyme. Mix well until just combined.

Step 5: Into the meat mixture, add the sauteed vegetables and mix until incorporated. Into the prepared muffin cups, pack the meat mixture. Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes.

Step 6: Remove from the oven and top each meatloaf muffin with about 1 tbsp of the rest of the ketchup. Resume baking the meatloaf for another 5 to 10 minutes. The meatloaf is done, once the thermometer inserted in the center of the muffin reaches at least 160 degrees F.

Tips:

Make sure to finely chop the onion and garlic to ensure the muffins stay together.

If you overfill the muffin cups, just put a rimmed baking pan or sheet foil under the muffin tin. This will catch any overflow.

If desired, you can also add some finely minced veggies to the mixture such as half c carrots or bell peppers.

Feel free to add 1/4 c freshly grated Parmesan or Romano cheese to the mixture.

Swap ketchup with chili sauce to top the muffins.

by Rebecca September 7, 2022
written by Rebecca

Prep time: 15 mins | Cook time: 8 mins | Chilling time: 15 mins | Total time: 38 mins | Yield: about 25 3 1/2-inch round cookies

These Soft Sour Cream, Sugar Cookies are one of the best cookies I’ve made! They are thick, incredibly soft, and wonderful to serve on all occasions!

Ingredients

COOKIE DOUGH:

1 c. granulated sugar

1 large egg, room temperature

½ c. full fat sour cream

1 teaspoon lemon zest

1 ½ teaspoon baking powder

½ c. unsalted butter, room temperature

2 ¾ c. all-purpose flour

¼ teaspoon kosher salt

FROSTING:

2 c. powdered, icing, or confectioners sugar

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature

2-3 tablespoons milk or heavy cream

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

How to make Soft Sour Cream, Sugar Cookies

Cookies:

Step 1: Place the butter, granulated sugar, and lemon zest in a large bowl. Beat using a hand mixer until light and fluffy. Add the egg along with the sour cream and mix again until blended.

Step 2: Into the mixing bowl, add the baking powder and salt. Mix well. In half, divide the dough and place each dough onto a piece of parchment paper.

Step 3: Lay another piece of parchment paper on each dough. Then, roll the dough using a rolling pin to about 1/4-inch thick. Into the freezer, transfer the dough, and freeze for about 10 to 15 minutes until firm.

Step 4: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 375 degrees F. Using the parchment paper, line two sheet pans.

Step 5: In flour, dip the cookie cutters and stamp out the cookies to your preferred shape. On the prepared baking sheets, place the cutout cookies.

Step 6: Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 6 to 9 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are firm and lightly browned. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to cooling racks to cool fully.

Frosting:

Step 7: Beat the butter in a large bowl, using a hand mixer on high speed until light and fluffy. Add the powdered sugar and beat on low, slowly increasing the speed to cream the sugar into the butter.

Step 8: Beat the frosting for about 3 to 4 minutes on high speed until light and fluffy. Next, add the vanilla extract and lemon juice. To thin out the mixture, you can add a little amount of milk or heavy cream if needed.

To Assemble:

Step 9: Grab each cooled cookie and frost. If you desire to add sprinkles, do it now while the frosting is still not set.

Step 10: In an airtight container, place the cookies and store either at room temperature or fridge for up to 3 to 4 days.
