Bacon Wrapped Chicken Thighs with Goat Cheese and Spinach

October 08, 2017 0 Comments
This keto high-fat diet/low carb thing is throwing me for a loop! I can't believe these are the things I'm eating and it's helping me lose weight. I've lost about 5 pounds in the first week and things are happening so fast! I was wracking my brain trying to think of something to make for dinner and it was almost like a light bulb went off over my head! I already had a pack of bacon thawing in the fridge so I started taking things out of my fridge to make some bacon wrapped chicken thighs!

1) Preheat the oven to about 400. 2) Wrap each chicken thigh (I used bone in skin on and I had about 6) with one piece of bacon each3) Put the chicken in a casserole dish and bake for one hour or until finished, depending on the size of the chicken thighs you use.
4) Meanwhile make a mixture of 3/4 cup goat cheese, small handful of mozzarella, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1/8 cup minced parsley, and a small handful of spinach (I like mine chopped chiffonade, but chopped small would do!)
5) Once the chicken is done baking, top each thigh with a scoop of your cheese mixture. Broil for 3-5 min until a little brown on top

Mushroom Garlic Parmesan Pork Chops

I can't remember the first time I made these pork chops, but ever since this is one of my favourite ways to prepare them!

3 boneless pork chops, seasoned with Salt and Pepper
2 cups crimini mushrooms, sliced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 handful parsley, chopped
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 Tbsp Avocado oil (add more as needed)











1 - Preheat oven to 375 degrees fahrenheit
2 - Heat a cast iron pan on medium high heat and add Avocado oil. Add garlic and parsley and sauté until fragrant.
3 - Add mushrooms and sauté until well browned... about 5-8 minutes. Remove and Set aside
4 - Add a splash more of oil and add your pork chops to the pan. Brown each side. About 3 minutes each side should do.
5 - Add a pile of the sautéd mushrooms to the top of each pork chop and top with the grated parmesan.
6 - Put the whole pan in the oven for about 10-15 minutes or until pork chops are cooked through.

Serve with a tray of roasted veggies or a fresh salad!
