Thanksgiving side dishes/12 recipes

Instead of roasting a whole chicken, I only cooked one skin-on and bone-in chicken breast. Used the same ingredients, browned the chicken breast in a hot pan for about 4 minutes on each side until nicely browned. Then baked in the oven until the internal temperature of the chicken breast reached 165 degrees F. Then let it rest for about 10 minutes, and it was juicy, tender and packed with flavour.

Beef and Broccoli Tips recipe

Quiche cups are about the easiest, quickest, most portable paleo dish out there. And I can’t get enough. These bacon, apple, and kale cups are scrumdiddlyumptious, and the pear and ginger ones are pretty good too. I suppose it depends on your palette. Ginger is not my flavor of choice. Lesson learned. These zucchini cups have, oh…3 ingredients. Plus salt and pepper. Plus they’re Portable, Paleo and Parent-approved. It’s a trifecta of Pleasant Perfection (or healthy Progress).

Pan-roasting prevents the broccoli from becoming limp. A quick rich, cheesy (Swiss, Cheddar or Gruyere) pan sauce captures the caramelized bits of flavor. Bring them together and everyone loves their broccoli!
