I make a lot of low carb meals in the oven. I especially like doing it this way because you just through everything on a baking tray, add some no calorie cooking spray, spices and throw it in the oven. You can do a lot of different types of meat or fish and different vegetables and it always comes out good. I eat vegetable heavy since I cut things like pasta, rice and potatoes out of my diet for the most part. So that's why I made several different types of vegetables with the chicken.
What to do:
Add one chicken thigh per person to a baking tray. Add 3 carrots, 3 celery stalks, 1 package of sliced mushrooms and one package of cherry tomatoes to the tray. Spray all the vegetables with no calorie cooking spray and add whatever spices you like to the chicken and vegetables. Bake at 350F for 75 minutes or until everything is cooked the way you like it.
I leave the skin on the chicken while cooking so the thighs don't dry out and just toss it once it's cooked. I've been trying to eat low calorie as well as low carb for the last couple of months. We'll see how that goes. For those that like the skin, feel free to keep it and eat it.
Would you eat this?
Well done on your BIG change in diet.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteI only eat chicken breasts but it would work for any piece. Good you are aiming for low calorie as well.
ReplyDeleteI just eat a lot more vegetables and salads now.
DeleteYes, I eat dishes like this once a week. I’ve been using eggplant lately and really like it.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I love eggplant too.
DeleteI'd eat the chicken and carrots. 😁 I dislike carrots and roasted tomatoes... how do I say this...they don't like being in my stomach.
ReplyDeleteOh I get it. Any vegetables would do for this recipe though.
DeleteThanks for the easy bake tip for chicken and vegetables.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome.
DeleteOh yea, I would eat that too, yum!
ReplyDeleteI would totally eat this! And I love that you can add whatever veggies that you want to it. Thanks for sharing this. I can't wait to make it. :D
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome. There are so many good vegies that would work for this.
DeleteLooks beautiful and yummy too!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteIn the past I would definitely have eaten this. Thigh meat is my favorite part of the chicken. I'm plant based now, however, so I no longer eat chicken. I would eat all the vegetables though!
ReplyDeleteRoasted vegetables are my favorite way to cook them.
DeleteThis looks yumny
ReplyDeleteThank you. It was.
DeleteOven dishes are always the most practical but I do hate turning on the oven during summer LOL
ReplyDeleteWhen it gets above 100 here, I don't turn it on.
DeleteMost definitely except, though I love mushrooms, they are high fodmap, something I can no longer eat. I never thought of roasting celery, so will be interesting when I make this recipe ... probably in the instant pot to cut the roasting time.
ReplyDeleteI hope it comes out good.
DeleteI love sheet pan meals. So easy to just put it all in the oven at once and have a perfectly cooked meal in an hour.
