I always try to come up with recipes that are simple and taste amazing! Try is the word to focus on there lol. But this one is definitely a keeper. Just a few ingredients and you’ve got yourself dinner for two or a family. This also works great if you want to meal prep for the week. I love chicken thighs! If you’re going to cook chicken, cook pieces that are forgiving and have tons of flavor! Unlike breast meat, it’s very difficult to dry out thigh meat, especially if you cook it with the bone in. Also, bone-in meat of any kind tend to be cheaper than boneless. Simply because the labor of removing that bone and/or skin is added to the final cost. So save a few bucks and buy bone in! I paired the thighs with sage, thyme, garlic, and mushrooms. Sage really enhances the flavor of the chicken and adds depth. The chicken broth I used for the sauce is store bought but has ZERO added sodium. You can find this option at most grocery stores and farmers markets. This dish as a whole truly is guilt free and paleo friendly! I meal prepped this with cauliflower rice & peas and it was so goooooood!

Cauliflower rice is the best alternative to rice I’ve ever had. It’s literally just cauliflower and super easy to make! You can probably find cauliflower rice in you local stores, which is just cauliflower cut into tiny pieces. If you go that route, make sure all it has in it is cauliflower. No seasonings, no extras, just cauliflower! If you can’t find it in store, I included the recipe so you too can make cauliflower rice :).

Eating healthier starts at the store and end in your kitchen. This dish is an awesome meal prep option and is full of flavor! The whole mission is about building better habits not just eating better for a little while. When you have options it makes it so much easier!
