Jalapeño Lemon Chicken Thighs

For my birthday, we visited a locally owned place that is one of those places you visit only on fancy occasions without kids. Mike ordered the most amazing chicken thighs. “CHICKEN THIGHS?!” I thought. He complains when I make them at home, so I was SHOCKED he ordered them for a special occasion dinner. He had taken the waitress up on her recommendation, and I’m so glad he did!

They were citrusy, but with spice from the jalapeños. I’m sure their method was MUCH more complicated than mine, but I don’t have time for that! These turned out so delicious, tender, and flavorful. They will be on the menu at home more often!

Enjoy!

Kid Approved Chicken Nuggets

Chicken nuggets are one of those all time favorite kid foods. Heck, I still love them! Having an option that can easily be pulled out of the freezer and thrown in the air fryer to make a quick dinner is a must around our house. Sometimes our dinner plan takes longer than the kids have patience for, or we have plans that require a grab and go meal. Either way, it’s on those nights that I’m grateful to have these in the freezer. Once frozen, you only need 10-15 mins to get dinner on the table.

I pre-make these any time we are running low and are having another meal with chicken breasts. I buy a pack of chicken much larger than we need for that night, and any chicken that doesn’t go in that nights meal gets made into these and put into the freezer. I already have chicken on my hands, a cutting board dirty, and time while that nights chicken cooks. A little multi tasking one night can save a LOT of time during future meals. Often times I’ll make up 2-3 batches of these at a time.
