Air Fried Chicken

IMG_5415.jpg

This recipe is quick, easy, and most importantly tastes awesome! It’s also gluten free and dairy free.

The best part of this recipe is that you can change up the spices and make this your own. I used paprika and garlic powder, but you can try dried rosemary, oregano, or poultry seasoning. Add a touch of cayenne if you want them a bit spicy! I’m using chicken thighs in the recipe, but if you’d like a bit of a leaner meat, you can use chicken breasts.

Hope you all enjoy it!

Ingredients:

  • 4 Chicken Thighs (can leave them whole or cut them into nuggets)

  • 1 1/2 cups of Simple Mills Crackers (you can now get these at Costco!)

  • 1 Large Egg

  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder

  • 1 tsp Paprika

  • Pinch of salt

Method:

  1. Add all ingredients to a food processor and pulse until it resembles flour. If you don’t have a food processor you can add the ingredients into a ziplock bag and smash with a rolling pin, pot, whatever you have :)

  2. Pour into a bowl, or plate

  3. In another bowl, beat one egg

  4. Take one chicken thigh, dip it in the egg mixture and cover both sides. Once the chicken thigh is covered, dip the chicken into the breading mixture, again, covering both sides, transfer to a plate. Repeat for the rest of the chicken.

  5. Heat the airfyer for 2 mins on the air fry setting.

  6. Once the airfryer is preheated, add the chicken thighs in, in a single layer. For my airfryer I can fit about 2-3 thighs.

  7. Cook for 7 mins on one side, and carefully flip the chicken thighs over using tongs and cook for another 7 mins or until golden brown.

  8. Cool for a couple mins, then enjoy!!

 

Slow Cooker Shredded Beef Tacos

RD_Shredded Beef Tacos

I’m a little slow to hop on the Instant Pot bandwagon, so here’s a fool proof recipe for shredded beef tacos. I have these with Cassava Flour Tortillas, but pair with whatever you’d like: flour or corn tortillas, or even have it as a salad!

Ingredients:

Method:

  1. Salt the beef liberally on all sides with salt and pepper.

  2. Preheat a cast iron skillet on medium high. Once the skillet is hot, add about 1/2 tbsp of oil to coat the bottom of the skillet.

  3. Carefully place beef in the skillet and don’t move it! Wait for a nice sear (nice brown crust) then turn it and sear the next side. Repeat so that you’ve seared all the beef.

  4. Add beef, peppers, onions and sauce into a slow cooker. Cover and cook for 4-5 hours on low, until the beef shreds easily.

  5. Shred the beef with two forks and toss it in the remaining juices.

  6. Serve with my Cassava Flour Tortillas or any tortilla for that matter and enjoy! ♥

Cassava Flour Tortillas

RD_Cassava Flour Tortillas

A gluten free alternative to your regular flour tortillas! I have a corn intolerance and I’ve been buying cassava flour tortillas from an online store. When I went to order another pack of 8, the price went up to 15.99 for 8 tortillas!! Crazy right? So, I thought I’d try to make my own, and here they are!

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cup Cassava Flour (I used Otto’s)

  • 3/4 tsp Salt

  • 3 tbsp Avocado Oil

  • 3/4 cup warm Water (more if needed)

Method:

  1. In a large bowl whisk together the flour and salt. Add in oil and warm water and mix to until a dough starts to form.

  2. Divide dough into 10 equal portions and then form into balls.

  3. Place one ball between two pieces of parchment paper and roll until thin. Alternatively, you can use a tortilla press.

  4. Carefully place beef in the skillet and don’t move it! Wait for a nice sear (nice brown crust) then turn it and sear the next side. Repeat so that you’ve seared all the beef.

  5. Heat a skillet on medium to medium high heat. Once heated add a tortilla and wait until bubbles form and then flip. The tortilla should be slightly browned.

  6. Place on a plate and cover with a towel to keep warm. Serve with my Shredded Beef Tacos and enjoy! ♥
