Pineapple Shrimp Fried Rice – Skinnytaste
Pineapple Shrimp Fried Rice has a delicious flavor combination of savory, sweet and spicy. Serve it in hollowed out pineapples for a beautiful presentation!
Pineapple Shrimp Fried Rice
I love fried rice, it’s one of my favorite foods! This shrimp fried rice dish is inspired by a Malaysian restaurant I used to frequent before they closed down. You may also like this vegetarian fried rice with edamame, or this low-carb cauliflower fried rice instead.
Penang, in Soho used to be one of my favorite places to eat, when they closed down I was so upset. They had the best roti canai appetizer and calamari dish ever!
Since they closed, I often remake this stir fry dish at home. If you rather not go through the extra work of hollowing out a pineapple, you could simply serve this in a bowl. I had my friends over for dinner and they were really impressed with this flavors and presentation of this dish. My husband however thought the serving sizes should be larger, so if you’re feeding hungry men, you may want to make extra. The ladies were perfectly happy with this, and it left room for dessert!
Tips
It’s best to use leftover cold rice when making fried rice. I love keeping Trader Joe’s frozen brown rice on hand for stir fries, it’s so convenient and makes this dish come together in minutes!
Liquid Aminos or Coconut Aminos can be substituted for the soy sauce.

Instant Pot Jam (with any fruit!)
Sharing is caring!
This Instant Pot Jam can be made with fresh or frozen fruit, like strawberries, blueberries, peaches, apricots and others. No pectin needed!
Enjoy this delicious jam on a toasted bagel or Buttermilk Biscuits! It can be also used in desserts, like Angel Food cake, as filling for crepes or swirled in cheesecake.
INSTANT POT JAM
Homemade jam is very easy to make, especially if you have the Instant Pot. You only need fruit, water, sugar and lemon juice to make it. No high fructose corn syrup or pectin needed! You can use virtually any fruit, fresh or frozen. It takes only 3 minutes to pressure cook it and can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. We love it on toasted bagels or toast but also as fillings in desserts.
Ingredients Needed:
fruit (fresh or frozen; at least 1 pound)
water
granulated sugar
lemon juice
cornstarch
vanilla extract (optional)
How to make Jam in the Instant Pot?
This jam can be made with pretty much any fruit. I made blueberry, strawberry and peach jam.
Blueberry Jam
Place berries (I used frozen) in the Instant Pot, add water, lemon juice and sugar.
Close the lid and set timer to 3 minutes.
Once done, let the IP release pressure naturally.
Stir in cornstarch slurry (mix cornstarch with water) and stir until the jam thickens.
Strawberry Jam:
Hull, wash and chop strawberries.
Place them in the Instant Pot, with water, lemon juice and sugar.
Pressure cook for 3 minutes.
Let the Instant Pot release pressure naturally.
Stir in cornstarch slurry until thickened.
Peach Jam:
Wash peaches. Slice in half, remove the pit. Remove skin if desired.
Chop and place in the Instant Pot.
Add water, sugar and lemon juice.
Pressure cook for 4 minutes.
Let the pressure release naturally.
Stir in the cornstarch slurry until the jam thickens.
Can I make this jam sugar-free?
Yes! You can use honey instead of sugar. Add 1/2 cup of honey or maple syrup to fruit. Do not stir. You can also add 1/2 cup of chia seeds to thicken and skip the cornstarch slurry.
What other fruit can I use?
I made it with fresh and frozen cranberries and it was amazing. You can use blackberries, apricots, oranges, etc.
How long does it last?
This jam will easily last for up to 2 weeks in a fridge, in a jar with a lid.
How much does this recipe make?
This recipe makes one 16 ounce jar and one 8 ounce jar of jam.

Recipe Notes
You can use fresh of frozen fruit. If you use frozen fruit, the Instant Pot will take longer to come to pressure. The cooking time stays the same.
I made this recipe with blueberries, strawberries, peaches, with fresh and frozen cranberries and it was amazing. You can use blackberries, apricots, oranges, etc.
Berries only need 3 minutes of cooking time. For larger fruit, use 4 to 5 minutes.

Sesame Encrusted Chicken Tenders (Baked or Air Fryer)
If you like the taste of sesame seeds as much as I do, you’ll love these Sesame Encrusted Chicken Tenders coated with sesame seeds, panko and a hint of soy sauce. Bake them or make them in the air fryer!
Sesame Encrusted Chicken Tenders
Chicken tenderloins are so convenient for weeknight cooking! The kids love these pickle brined chicken tenders, or these tortilla encrusted chicken tenders for a Mexican twist, but for an Asian twist these sesame ones are just perfect!
I like to serve them over some hot, steamed rice with a drizzle of soy sauce, and broccoli on the side but this would be great with cauliflower fried rice or quinoa fried rice with some stir fried vegetables.
How To Make Encrusted Chicken Tenders
Start with a mix of sesame seeds and panko as your breading and put that in a shallow dish.
Rather than dipping the chicken in egg, I mix sesame oil with soy sauce in a shallow bowl and use it to coat the chicken before pressing my crumbs on. This adds wonderful Asian flavor to the chicken.
Then spritz the chicken evenly on both sides with oil before baking or cooking in the air fryer.
How To Meal Prep
Place 3/4 cup rice in each meal prep container, top with 2 pieces chicken and steamed veggies on the side. Refrigerate up to 4 days. I really love this glass Meal Prep Set from Pyrex, (affil link) the set comes with different size glass containers with lids that are easy to close and wash.

If you like the taste of sesame seeds as much as I do, you’ll love these Sesame Encrusted Chicken Tenders coated with sesame seeds, panko and a hint of soy sauce. Bake them or make them in the air fryer!
8 chicken tenderloins, 18 oz total
3/4 tsp kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
2 tsp sesame oil
2 tsp low sodium soy sauce
6 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 cup panko
olive oil spray
Preheat oven to 425°F. Spray a baking sheet with non-stick oil spray.
Combine the sesame oil and soy sauce in a bowl, and the sesame seeds, salt and panko in another.
Place chicken in the bowl with the oil and soy sauce, then into the sesame seed mixture to coat well.
Place on the baking sheet; lightly spray the top of the chicken with oil spray and bake 8 to 10 minutes, until slightly browned on the bottom.
Turn over and cook another 4 – 5 minutes or until cooked through and the edges are crisp. Serve over rice with more soy sauce, if desired.
Air Fryer Cook Time
Preheat the air fryer 400F. Cook 12 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway until cooked through, crispy and golden.

Skinnytaste Meal Plan (April 8-April 14)
posted April 6, 2019 by Gina
A free 7-day flexible weight loss meal plan including breakfast, lunch and dinner and a shopping list. All recipes include calories and Weight Watchers Freestyle SmartPoints®.
Happy weekend everyone! Just a quick reminder, I will be doing a book signing tomorrow (Sunday) April 7th, hosted by Le Creuset at Woodbury Common Premium Outlets, from 2 PM – 3:30 PM at 869 Adirondack Way, Central Valley, NY. If you’re in the area stop by and say hello and bring your cookbooks (they will be selling cookbooks there too)! I will also have book signings at their Mohegan Sun location the following Saturday, April 13th 2 PM – 3:30 PM and at their Massachusetts location in Wrentham the following Sunday, April 14th 2 PM – 3:30 PM. Save the date!
If you’re new to my meal plans, I’ve been sharing these free, 7-day flexible healthy meal plans (you can see my previous meal plans here) that are meant as a guide, with plenty of wiggle room for you to add more food, coffee, beverages, fruits, snacks, dessert, wine, etc or swap recipes out for meals you prefer, you can search for recipes by course in the index. You should aim for around 1500 calories* per day.
There’s also a precise, organized grocery list that will make grocery shopping so much easier and much less stressful. Save you money and time. You’ll dine out less often, waste less food and you’ll have everything you need on hand to help keep you on track.
Lastly, if you’re on Facebook join my Skinnytaste Facebook Community where everyone’s sharing photos of recipes they are making, you can join here. I’m loving all the ideas everyone’s sharing! If you wish to get on the email list, you can subscribe here so you never miss a meal plan!

THE DETAILS:
Breakfast and lunch Monday-Friday, are designed to serve 1 while dinners and all meals on Saturday and Sunday are designed to serve a family of 4. Some recipes make enough leftovers for two nights or lunch the next day. While we truly believe there is no one size fits all meal plan, we did our best to come up with something that appeals to a wide range of individuals. Everything is Weight Watchers friendly, I included the updated Weight Watcher Freestyle Points for your convenience, feel free to swap out any recipes you wish or just use this for inspiration!
The grocery list is comprehensive and includes everything you need to make all meals on the plan. I’ve even included brand recommendations of products I love and use often. Cross check your cabinets because many condiments you’ll notice I use often, so you may already have a lot of them.
And last, but certainly not least, this meal plan is flexible and realistic. There’s plenty of wiggle room for cocktails, healthy snacks, dessert and dinner out. And if necessary, you can move some things around to make it work with your schedule. Please let me know if you’re using these plans, this will help me decide if I should continue sharing them!

Spicy Shrimp Fried Rice – Skinnytaste
Spicy Shrimp Fried Rice made healthier using leftover cooked brown rice, a delicious whole grain that’s high in fiber, so it fills you up.
Spicy Shrimp Fried Rice
Fried rice is definitely on my favorite foods list, I absolutely love it! Sure, sometimes I go low-carb with Cauliflower Fried Rice, which is fine but when I go all out, I much prefer making it with leftover brown rice (see How To Cook Perfect Brown Rice).
Fried rice is the ultimate leftover food because it requires using leftover rice. Otherwise it won’t be dry enough to fry and come out a but mushy. Therefore, this weeknight dish comes together really fast. Almost any protein and veggie can be tossed into this. Swap out shrimp for chicken or tofu and feel free to toss in whatever veggies are in your fridge like shredded carrots, mushrooms, corn, edamame, all work great.
This healthy shrimp fried rice def has some kick to it, and if you really like it hot feel free to add hot sauce to serve later!
Tips on How to Make Shrimp Fried Rice:
As mentioned, start with leftover rice. I prefer brown but white works just fine. The drier the rice, the better it is for frying. You can even use riced cauliflower.
Cook on high heat. It’s important to make sure the pan is hot when frying the veggies, protein and rice. Works best with a wok but a large pan will work as well.
For extra crunchiness, once cooked, you can let stand in pan for an extra 30 seconds or so until desired cook.

Crock Pot Chicken Taco Chili Recipe
Crock Pot Chicken Taco Chili is an easy slow cooker dump recipe using freezer and pantry staples! This has been one of my most popular recipes since 2008!
Crock Pot Chicken Taco Chili
Chicken Taco Chili is one of my favorite chili recipes! It’s so good served in a bowl with multi-grain chips, topped with reduced fat cheddar cheese or avocados. This makes a lot and it is even better the next day for lunch. If you prefer the pressure cooker, you may enjoy my Instant Pot Chicken Taco Chili version instead. A great freezer-friendly meal!
The reason this recipe has been so popular on my website for all these years, it’s easy prep, just dump it all in the slow cooker and come home to the most delicious meal the whole family will love! It also freezes well and the kids love it! Plus it makes a lot, so eat some for dinner tonight and freeze the rest for another night!
How To Freeze Chicken Taco Chili
Allow chili to come to room temperature and store in an airtight container or individual containers for up to 4 days in the refrigerator or up to 3 months in the freezer.
How To Use Leftover Chicken Taco Chili
Turn your leftovers into next-overs with these easy Chicken Taco Chili Stuffed Peppers!
And since so many are asking, although I have and love my Instant Pot, I still love my slow cooker! I have the 6 Quart Hamilton Beach Set ‘n Forget Programmable Slow Cooker (affil link). I love it because you can adjust the time you want it to cook, and it automatically turns to warm when it’s done. It also has a probe for meat that automatically shuts off when done. I hated my old crock pot, it burnt everything and my food had a weird taste. This slow cooker is so great, I actually own several!

How to Boil Eggs – Crunchy Creamy Sweet
Sharing is caring!
How to Boil Eggs – a complete step by step guide to boiling eggs to make them perfectly soft-boiled, medium or hard-boiled. These eggs are very easy to peel too!
You can serve them for breakfast or brunch, use to make deviled eggs, a cobb salad or an egg salad.
BOILED EGGS
Learning how to perfectly boil eggs is a kitchen basic, that everyone should know. Today I am sharing my tips for cooking the best boiled eggs. This fail-proof method lets you make perfect soft-boiled, medium or hard-boiled eggs. The addition of salt and the ice water bath makes them very easy to peel. I use them for salads, on sandwiches, as a snack.
How to boil eggs?
Remove your eggs from the fridge and set them on the counter.
Fill a pot halfway with tap water. Stir in salt.
Bring to a boil over medium heat.
Once boiling, turn the heat down to low heat and carefully place eggs in the pot.
Cover the pot with a lid and turn the heat back to medium heat. Cook eggs according to the chart below, depending on how soft or hard boiled you need them.
Fill a large bowl with water and ice. Set aside.
After the cooking time. remove the eggs from water and immediately place them in a bowl with ice water.
Chill the eggs for at least 10 minutes.
Peel by gently tapping the bottom of the egg against the counter, then roll it around to loosen the shell. Peel it off. It should come off easily.
How long to boil eggs?
1. Soft-Boiled Eggs
Boil eggs for 7 to 8 minutes. This egg is perfect for Asian pho soup too! If you like a very runny yolk, cook for exactly 6 minutes.
2. Medium Eggs
Boil for 10 minutes. The yolk will have a softer center, the whites will be cooked.
3. Hard-Boiled Eggs
Boil for 12 to 14 minutes. These eggs are perfect for deviled eggs, egg salads and to slice on sandwiches.
How to boil eggs so they peel easily?
Just like my mom and my grandma, I’ve always added a teaspoon of salt to the boiling water for cooking eggs. Also, the ice bath (not just cold water, but with actual ice cubes) helps here too. The shell pretty much peels off in one piece. It is helpful to start at the bottom of the egg where there is often a bubble of air. I gently tap that side against a counter or the side of the bowl and roll the egg to loosen up the shell. Then remove it. It’s so easy!
Can I boil eggs in the microwave?
This method is best for cooking hard-boiled eggs. The rule is the same: cook water in a microwave-safe bowl until boiling. Add eggs and cook for 10 minutes. Carefully remove from the microwave and place the eggs in an ice-water bath.
How to store cooked eggs?
Boiled eggs should always be stored in a fridge. Hard-boiled eggs will stay good for up to 1 week. If you peel them before refrigerating, place them in a bowl and cover with water. It will prevent them from drying out.

Use eggs right away or store in the fridge for up to 1 week.

Skinnytaste Meal Plan (March 26-April 1)
posted March 24, 2018 by Gina
A free 7-day flexible meal plan including breakfast, lunch and dinner and a shopping list. All recipes include calories and Weight Watchers Freestyle Smart Points.
This week’s meal plan includes some Easter and Passover dishes. I also created a recipe for Hot Cross Buns using the easy bagel dough which I will share tomorrow. Enjoy your weekend!
If you’re new to my meal plans, I’ve been sharing free, 7-day flexible healthy meal plans (you can see my previous meal plans here) that are meant as a guide, with plenty of wiggle room for you to add more food, coffee, beverages, fruits, snacks, dessert, wine, etc. You should aim for around 1500 calories* a day.
There’s also a precise, organized grocery list that will make grocery shopping so much easier and much less stressful. Save you money and time. You’ll dine out less often, waste less food and you’ll have everything you need on hand to help keep you on track.
Lastly, if you’re on Facebook join my Skinnytaste Facebook Community where everyone’s sharing photos of recipes they are making, you can join here. I’m loving all the ideas everyone’s sharing!
THE DETAILS:
Breakfast and lunch Monday-Friday, are designed to serve 1 while dinners and all meals on Saturday and Sunday are designed to serve a family of 4. Some recipes make enough leftovers for two nights or lunch the next day. While we truly believe there is no one size fits all meal plan, we did our best to come up with something that appeals to a wide range of individuals. Everything is Weight Watchers friendly, I included the updated Weight Watcher Freestyle Points for your convenience, feel free to swap out any recipes you wish or just use this for inspiration!
The grocery list is comprehensive and includes everything you need to make all meals on the plan. I’ve even included brand recommendations of products I love and use often. Cross check your cabinets because many condiments you’ll notice I use often, so you may already have a lot of them.
And last, but certainly not least, this meal plan is flexible and realistic. There’s plenty of wiggle room for cocktails, healthy snacks, dessert and dinner out. And if necessary, you can move some things around to make it work with your schedule. Please let me know if you’re using these plans, this will help me decide if I should continue sharing them!

Cheesy Turkey Meatball Skillet – Skinnytaste
Cheesy Turkey Meatball Skillet covered in sauce and cheese, made all in one skillet. Serve this with a green salad and a little bread on the side for dipping!
Cheesy Turkey Meatball Skillet
If the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, then these meatballs will certainly make the heart grow fonder! My meatball loving husband gave them two-thumbs up. Some of his other favorite meatball recipes are Giant Meatball Parmesan, Swedish Meatballs, Turkey Meatball Stroganoff and Salisbury Steak Meatballs.
Tommy loves meatballs, he orders them as an appetizer every time we go to our favorite Italian restaurant. Since we always share apps with our friends, he gets an extra order for himself, that’s how much he loves them. And trust me, he’s pretty particular and will judge a restaurant based on their meatballs, so making meatballs with turkey that meet up to Tommy’s standards is never easy. But he loved these, and told me to freeze the leftovers so we can have them for another night! (Another compliment because Tommy doesn’t eat leftovers).
To make these turkey meatballs taste great, I did a few simple things. Added umami ingredients like good quality Locatelli Pecorino Romano (don’t use the cheap powdered cheese from shelf, it’s awful), and a little tomato paste to the mix. Also, I browned them right in the skillet, I do think browning them really adds flavor. No need to add a lot of oil, I just sprayed the skillet with a little olive oil spray.
What To Serve With Skillet Meatballs
Tommy’s not eating carbs this month, (not counting the small amount of breadcrumbs in the mix) so we ate this with a green salad on the side and some roasted veggies. Normally, when I make this I serve it with some crusty bread, for dipping into all that sauce. This would also be great on roasted spaghetti squash or zoodles.
Helpful Tips:
To make meatballs all the same size I use a food scale, weighing all the meat together then dividing it by the amount of meatballs I want. For this recipe it was about 1.6 oz each.
Don’t overwork your meatballs or they will be tough.
I made the sauce from scratch, just a quick marinara but you can also use a jar of your favorite sauce to make it even quicker.
Cheesy Turkey Meatball Skillet
Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 30 mins
Total Time: 45 mins
Cheesy Turkey Meatballs covered in sauce and cheese, made all in one skillet, serve this with a green salad and a little bread on the side for dipping!
Meatballs:
2 tablespoons skim milk, or water
1/3 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
1/3 cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese
2 small cloves crushed garlic, or 1 large
1 large egg
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1/4 cup chopped parsley, plus more for garnish
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 pounds 93% ground turkey
cooking spray
Sauce:
2 cloves garlic, smashed with the side of a knife
28 ounce can crushed tomatoes, I prefer Tuttorosso
kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
1 1/2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, I like thicker shredded Polly-O
parsley or basil for garnish
In a large bowl combine the milk, breadcrumbs, Pecorino, garlic, egg, tomato paste, parsley and salt and mix well to combine.
Add the turkey and mix using a fork to fully mix everything together, careful not to overwork and form into 18 meatballs.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, when hot spray with oil and brown the meatballs about 5 to 6 minutes on each side. Set aside on a dish.
Reduce heat to medium-low, add the oil and garlic and cook until golden, about 1 to 2 minutes.
Add the tomatoes, salt and pepper to taste and return the meatballs to the skillet. Partially cover and simmer medium-low until cooked through, about 5 minutes.
Uncover, top with mozzarella cheese, cover and cook until melted, about 2 minutes. If your skillet doesn’t have a cover, you can put it under the broiler 2 to 3 minutes, until melted.

Loaded Baked Omelet Muffins – Skinnytaste
Loaded Baked Omelet Muffins are perfect to make ahead for the week!
These egg muffins are inspired by my recent vacation to Beaches in Ochos Rios Jamaica. Every morning I would get an omelet with fresh fruit. The chef at the omelet station had all his ingredients prepped and quickly whipped up hundreds of omelets each morning to order. I used some of my favorite omelet ingredients but you can switch it up and add whatever you like or have on hand.
If you want to make these for Valentine’s Day, you can bake them in heart shaped muffin tins.
Omelet muffins are perfect for meal prep. Make them ahead and freeze or refrigerate the rest. Omelet muffins will keep in the refrigerator for about 3 days.
How to freeze omelet muffins:
To freeze omelet muffins for the month, let them cool then remove from the muffin tin. Flash freeze them, then transfer to freezer safe bags, label, and freeze.
How to reheat omelet muffins:
To reheat, pop them in the microwave for 1 minute or until warm.
More ways to make Omelet Muffins:
You can fill them with anything you like in your omelets! A few variations:
Omit the cheese to make them Paleo or Whole30
Add chopped cooked chicken sausage and cheddar cheese
Try my Broccoli and Cheese Egg Muffins
Use ham, swiss and bell peppers for a Western Omelet
Add leftover cooked leafy greens like Swiss Chard
Here’s a video to see how easy they are to make:

Most of you know how much I love my Paderno Spiral Vegetable Slicer, well my friend Ali of Inspiralized created her own spiralizer called the Inspiralizer which I tested out just for this soup. A few things that I love about the Inspiralizer are the blades are built in, so there’s only 2 parts and the suction on the bottom is really great. She has 4 blades that cut perfect vegetable noodles.
See more Soup Recipes here.
And since so many are asking, although I have and love my Instant Pot, I still love my slow cooker! I have the 6 Quart Hamilton Beach Set ‘n Forget Programmable Slow Cooker (affil link). I love it because you can adjust the time you want it to cook, and it automatically turns to warm when it’s done. It also has a probe for meat that automatically shuts off when done. I hated my old crock pot, it burnt everything and my food had a weird taste. This slow cooker is so great, I actually own several!

Skinnytaste Meal Plan (March 19-March 25)
posted March 17, 2018 by Gina
A free 7-day flexible meal plan including breakfast, lunch and dinner and a shopping list. All recipes include calories and Weight Watchers Freestyle Smart Points.
Happy Saturday, I hope you all had a great week! I’ve been in Berkeley, California all week shooting my new cookbook with photographer Eva Kolenko, I can’t wait for you to see the photos!
If you’re new to my meal plans, I’ve been sharing free, 7-day flexible healthy meal plans (you can see my previous meal plans here) that are meant as a guide, with plenty of wiggle room for you to add more food, coffee, beverages, fruits, snacks, dessert, wine, etc. You should aim for around 1500 calories* a day.
There’s also a precise, organized grocery list that will make grocery shopping so much easier and much less stressful. Save you money and time. You’ll dine out less often, waste less food and you’ll have everything you need on hand to help keep you on track.
Lastly, if you’re on Facebook join my Skinnytaste Facebook Community where everyone’s sharing photos of recipes they are making, you can join here. I’m loving all the ideas everyone’s sharing!
THE DETAILS:
Breakfast and lunch Monday-Friday, are designed to serve 1 while dinners and all meals on Saturday and Sunday are designed to serve a family of 4. Some recipes make enough leftovers for two nights or lunch the next day. While we truly believe there is no one size fits all meal plan, we did our best to come up with something that appeals to a wide range of individuals. Everything is Weight Watchers friendly, I included the updated Weight Watcher Freestyle Points for your convenience, feel free to swap out any recipes you wish or just use this for inspiration!
The grocery list is comprehensive and includes everything you need to make all meals on the plan. I’ve even included brand recommendations of products I love and use often. Cross check your cabinets because many condiments you’ll notice I use often, so you may already have a lot of them.
And last, but certainly not least, this meal plan is flexible and realistic. There’s plenty of wiggle room for cocktails, healthy snacks, dessert and dinner out. And if necessary, you can move some things around to make it work with your schedule. Please let me know if you’re using these plans, this will help me decide if I should continue sharing them!

Braised Chicken with Mushrooms and Leeks
Braised Chicken Thighs with Mushrooms and Leeks is the perfect cold weather comfort food.
Braised Chicken Thighs with Mushrooms and Leeks
Nothing makes a cold winter night more bearable than a hot and hearty meal made in the oven. Some dishes I love to prepare in the winter are Braised Brisket with Potatoes and Vegetables, Turmeric Braised Chicken with Beets and Leeks, and Baked Chicken Enchiladas.
When it comes to chicken, some many people prefer breasts, but personally I’m a thigh girl all the way. Chicken breasts of course have their place – as breaded cutlets or in chicken salad, but when it comes to braised dishes, dark meat is my first choice because it’s more versatile and forgiving, and bonus, more affordable.
This braised chicken dish starts on the stove, then finishes in the oven, so you’ll want to use a heavy oven proof skillet or dutch oven with a fitted lid. First step is browning the chicken, then you’ll want to saute your aromatics and vegetables. Then the whole dish goes in the oven until the chicken is tender and delicious.
Tommy loved this dish, and asked what made this taste so good. It’s the leeks I told him, and he said we should use them in more dishes. I agree, leeks add something special to dishes, once you know how to cook with them you’ll want to cook with them more. Pictured above, the chicken is served with raw kale tossed with olive oil, salt and pepper.
How To Make Braised Chicken
(embed)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7dbn4dYf_U(/embed)
How To Cook With Leeks
Leeks are delicious and healthy, but it’s important to get rid of the dirt trapped between the layers. You don’t use the whole leek, you just keep the white and light pale green part.
Cut off the dark green part of the leek, trimming to the part where the color is a pale green.
Cut off the root end then slice the stalk the lengthwise.
Run leeks under cold water, separating the layers slightly to help remove any dirt.
Place the leeks in a bowl of cool water, to let and dirt sink to the bottom, then strain, dry and slice.
More chicken thigh recipes I love:
Braised Chicken Thighs with Mushrooms and Leeks
Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 1 hr
Total Time: 1 hr 15 mins
Braised Chicken Thighs with Mushrooms and Leeks is the perfect cold weather comfort food.
2 large or 3 medium leeks, whites only
1 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
olive oil spray
8 pieces bone-in, skin-off chicken thighs, trimmed, about 40 ounces
1 tablespoon butter
8 ounces white mushrooms, quartered
2 tablespoons flour, or gluten-free flour mix
1 cup chicken broth or water with chicken bouillon
3 tablespoons sherry
Rinse the leeks well and separate the layers to make sure there is no dirt. Slice into 1/4-inch thick half moons.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Mix together 1 1/4 teaspoons of salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and the paprika and season all sides of the chicken.
Heat a large Dutch oven or oven safe skillet on high heat. Once hot spritz with olive oil and brown the chicken, in batches on all sides, about 5 minutes on each side, adjusting the heat as needed.
Set aside and repeat with the remaining chicken. Set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the butter. When the butter starts to foam, add the leeks and cook, stirring until soft, about 6 to 8 minutes. Add the mushrooms, 1/4 teaspoon salt, stir and cook covered 5 minutes, stirring until they release their juices.
Sprinkle the flour over them, stir in the chicken broth and the sherry and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes.
Return the chicken to the Dutch oven, spooning the mushroom-sherry sauce over them and cook in the oven, covered, for 40 to 50 minutes, until cooked through and tender.

Open-Faced Omelet with Avocado and Pico de Gallo
I’m pretty obsessed with making open-faced omelets and make them all the time topped with whatever I have on hand (you may remember this tomato and feta omelet). Since I always have avocados on hand, and I had some leftover pico de gallo from this recipe, I’ve been whipping this up all week!
This takes under 5 minutes, and it’s so easy you don’t even half to flip the omelet, it just slides off the pan and onto your plate. Tell me, what would you top your omelet with? I could use some new ideas!

Skinnytaste Meal Plan (May 13-May 19)
posted May 11, 2019 by Gina
A free 7-day flexible weight loss meal plan including breakfast, lunch and dinner and a shopping list. All recipes include calories and WW SmartPoints®.
This week’s plan has a recipe from my new cookbook, The Skinnytaste Air Fryer Cookbook. Cheesy Green Chile Chicken Chimichangas. They are so good, my family is obsessed! If you don’t have the book, you can actually see a photo of the chimichanga recipe on Amazon by clicking on the photo where it says look inside.
If you’re new to my meal plans, I’ve been sharing these free, 7-day flexible healthy meal plans (you can see my previous meal plans here) that are meant as a guide, with plenty of wiggle room for you to add more food, coffee, beverages, fruits, snacks, dessert, wine, etc or swap recipes out for meals you prefer, you can search for recipes by course in the index. You should aim for around 1500 calories* per day.
There’s also a precise, organized grocery list that will make grocery shopping so much easier and much less stressful. Save you money and time. You’ll dine out less often, waste less food and you’ll have everything you need on hand to help keep you on track.
Lastly, if you’re on Facebook join my Skinnytaste Facebook Community where everyone’s sharing photos of recipes they are making, you can join here. I’m loving all the ideas everyone’s sharing! If you wish to get on the email list, you can subscribe here so you never miss a meal plan!
Also, if you don’t have the Skinnytaste Meal Planner, now would be a great time to get one to get organized for 2019! There was a print error last year, but it’s perfect now! You can order it here!

THE DETAILS:
Breakfast and lunch Monday-Friday, are designed to serve 1 while dinners and all meals on Saturday and Sunday are designed to serve a family of 4. Some recipes make enough leftovers for two nights or lunch the next day. While we truly believe there is no one size fits all meal plan, we did our best to come up with something that appeals to a wide range of individuals. Everything is Weight Watchers friendly, I included the updated Weight Watcher Freestyle Points for your convenience, feel free to swap out any recipes you wish or just use this for inspiration!
The grocery list is comprehensive and includes everything you need to make all meals on the plan. I’ve even included brand recommendations of products I love and use often. Cross check your cabinets because many condiments you’ll notice I use often, so you may already have a lot of them.
And last, but certainly not least, this meal plan is flexible and realistic. There’s plenty of wiggle room for cocktails, healthy snacks, dessert and dinner out. And if necessary, you can move some things around to make it work with your schedule. Please let me know if you’re using these plans, this will help me decide if I should continue sharing them!
