Happy New Year!! I'm still in disbelief that it's actually 2020! But looking forward I am extremely excited about what is to come this year! I am turning 40 in a couple of months, which is a little daunting but I am embracing it and thankful for this journey I've been on for the past 40 years (and what a journey it's been;)
January is usually a busy month for us all, so I wanted to share a quick and healthy recipe from one of my favorite food bloggers, Nom Nom Paleo that you can literally whip up in 30 minutes. I always serve over some sautéed cauliflower rice. Enjoy!
Nom Nom Paleo's Sheet Pan Chicken and Mushroom
Ingredients
1 large shallot thinly sliced3 tablespoons sherry vinegar or balsamic vinegar3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil avocado oil, melted ghee, or fat of choice1 tablespoon coconut aminos1 tablespoon Red Boat fish sauce1 teaspoon Magic Mushroom Powder or Diamond Crystal kosher salt if using fine grain salt or Morton’s kosher salt, use ½ teaspoon1½ pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs 1 pound assorted mushrooms cut into the same size pieces¼ cup minced fresh Italian parsley and/or chives
Instructions
Heat oven to 450°F or 425°F convection with the rack in the upper middle.As the oven heats up, combine the shallots, vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, coconut aminos, fish sauce, and Magic Mushroom Powder (or salt) in a large bowl. Stir well and then add the chicken to the marinade. Shake off the excess marinade and transfer the chicken to a rimmed baking sheet. (Leave the marinade in the bowl, because you’re going to dump the mushrooms in next!)If you have a combination of different mushrooms, add the sturdier mushrooms (e.g. sliced King Trumpet, button, shiitake, etc.) to the marinade first. Toss well and then transfer them to the rimmed sheet in a single layer.Using delicate mushrooms (e.g. enoki or brown clamshell mushrooms)? Toss them carefully in the marinade after you’ve removed the sturdier ones so they don’t break apart.Arrange the chicken, mushrooms, and shallots in a single layer on the sheet pan.Pop the sheet pan dinner in the oven and roast for 25 to 35 minutes, rotating the tray 180° at the halfway point. The dish should be done when the chicken is cooked through (a meat thermometer should read 165°F in the thickest part of the thigh or 150°F if you’re using chicken breasts) and the liquid from the mushrooms has mostly cooked off.Sprinkle on fresh herbs and serve immediately with a simple vegetable side dish!
