Peppers for Color

Peppers for Color

Eating clean and cooking things easily are a hard combination I have found. I also have found that the more vegetables I can fill up on the less bad crap I eat. I work hard to feel full and satisfied with lunch. I needed more color in my diet and have had a rough time with meal prepping different colors. This is one fix I have found this last week- multiple colored peppers! Sauteed and delicious!
(I couldn't find yellow at the market to make it more colorful)

This is the seasoning I used tonight! It was super good! U can use a small amount of real butter, coconut oil, or my pref small amount of olive oil.

Honey-Lime Chicken Thighs

Honey-Lime Chicken Thighs

It's time for some healthy dark meat! Cut off the skin and buy them in large quantities! I made this off a small amount of chicken but it was so good I should have just made more!!!
Dark Meat is still very high in protein, usually higher in fat/few more calories. Make a change and try new flavors in your diet! This has such good flavor!

Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 7 or 8 chicken thighs (depends on your skillet size)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoon olive oil
• green onions, chopped (I even used freeze dried ones)
• 1 lime, sliced (for garnish only)

Instructions

1. In a small bowl combine lime juice, honey, soy sauce.
2. Salt the chicken thighs with 1/2 teaspoon of salt (or more) thoroughly, all over, including under the skin.
3. In 12-inch skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken thighs, skin side down, and cook for about 5 minutes until the chicken skin side gets nicely browned (make sure to get really nice brown, not just pale brown - it makes a difference in presentation).
4. Turn chicken, so that skins sides are up and add lime-honey mixture to the skillet. Reduce heat to low; cover and cook 14 to 18 minutes longer or until done (chicken should register 180 degrees F on instant thermometer). While cooking, covered, chicken thighs will release their own juices, as well. 
5. Transfer chicken to plates. Drizzle chicken with pan juices. Top with chopped green onions and serve with lime slices.
