Marinated Air fryer chicken thighs

18 Sep

These air fryer chicken thighs are so flavorful, juicy and delicious. They pair really well with tattooed chef cauliflower fried rice. I served them tonight with my roasted turmeric cauliflower.

Ingredients:

6 boneless skinless chicken thighs

Marinade:

6 scallions , rinsed and roots cut off

1/2 cup unsweetened apple sauce

3 whole cloves of garlic

2 tbsp olive oil

1/2 tsp sesame oil

2 tbsp soy sauce

1 tbsp fish sauce

3 tbsp rice wine vinegar

1 tsp dry ground ginger

1 tsp salt

2 tsp pepper

Directions:

·     Blend all marinade ingredients in your blender
or food processor until thick and smooth. I used my smoothie blender.

·      Remove chicken thighs from packaging. Use your
hands to open each one up so your marinade can get to the whole surface.

·      Pour marinade into a ziplock freezer bag and add
chicken thighs. Refrigerate 6-24 hrs.

·      Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees.

·      Place as many thighs in as you can with them
spread open but not overlapping. I was able to cook 4 at a time.

·      Cook for 12 min, then flip each one and cook an
additional 8 minutes or until internal temp reaches 165 degrees

Rosemary chicken in cream sauce

13 Mar

This was really yummy. I served with mixed grains, and poured the sauce over the grains. Definite repeat.

Ingredients

– (3) 4 oz boneless chicken breasts
– 1/2 an onion, diced
– 1 tbsp minced garlic
– 4 tbsp flour
– 1/2 cup 1% milk
– 1/2 cup chicken broth
– 1 tsp rosemary
– salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1. Salt and pepper your chicken breasts, then sautéed them in a skillet, using butter flavored nonstick spray.

2. Remove chicken and place it in a baking pan (9×9 would work) sprayed with nonstick spray.

3. Spray same skillet again with spray and sautéed onions and garlic until softened. If you need to you can add 1-2 tbsp of water to keep onions from burning.

4. Stir four into onions and slowly add broth, stirring until smooth, then stir in milk slowly.

5. Bring to a simmer, and then cook on low heat about 2 minutes, stirring constantly until sauce thickens.

6. Pour sauce over chicken. Cover pan with foil and bake at 350 for 25-30 min.
