Jalapeño Popper Chicken: a low carb dinner that will please everyone with roasted chicken, a cheesy jalapeño popper sauce and more cheese and bacon on top! I wish they had scratch and sniff screens already,
Serve with Rosemary-Garlic Roasted Potatoes and Asparagus with Lemon and Pecorino.Or serve with Quinoa with Toasted Pine Nuts and Celery and Parsley Salad.
Using the cilantro stems for the base of the sauce (instead of throwing them in the trash) is a flavorful way to stretch a buck or two. If you can't find skin-on boneless chicken thighs, purchase bone-in and bone them yourself or have the butcher do so.
Quinoa works just as well as the traditional bulgur, and it takes less time to cook. We prefer curly parsley here, but flat-leaf parsley or a mix of other herbs would also be delicious.
