Paleo Recipe: Spicy Cilantro, Lime & Paprika Chicken Thighs



This chicken recipe is not only delicious, but Whole30 & Paleo friendly. It's also a quick but flavorful meal to prepare during the week.

You can either grill these or bake them in the oven. I have tried both and they came out great either way.

You will need:

  • 1 pack of Chicken Thighs Bone in & skin on (usually 4)
  • 1 tbsp Paprika
  • 2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp of dried Parsley
  • 1 tsp of Salt
  • 1 tbsp of Cilantro (I used pureed)
  • Juice & zest from a Lime
  • 1/2 tsp Cayenne Pepper
  • 1/2 tsp of ground Pepper
  • 1 tbsp of olive oil
Preheat oven at 400F if you are going to be baking it straight away (if you are going to let it sit, hold off on that).

 Mix all the ingredients together (not the chicken).  Once you have your marinade, add your chicken thighs and coat them well.  I usually get some under the skin because if you don't the chicken can be rather bland.  Depending if you are letting it sit some or not, go ahead and bake for 35-40 mins.  Once finished leave to cool for a few mins and serve.

    Soooo yummy! My hubby and both kids loved it and that is rare to get agreement :) I used boneless/skinless chicken thighs and chopped fresh coriander and it worked perfectly!
    Thank you for sharing!

Whole 30 Challenge: Turkey Veggie Burgers & Butternut Squash Fries

Hi again! I have been a little M.I.A since the new year. I apologize, but I am back again and I wanted to share with you my newest thing. I stumbled across the Whole30 Challenge, and after reading about it and it's benefits, I decided I wanted to take part in this challenge too. So, Today was my first day, it's been good so far but I can see there will be some difficult days ahead as far as cravings go. For my first day I started out with Eggs, bacon & an apple for breakfast. for lunch I was a getting hungry and needed something quick so, I had a rolled egg omelet & a delicious salad packed with lots of yummy things and I just sprinkled it with some salt, pepper & lemon. For dinner I made more of an effort, I had turkey veggie patties, butternut squash baked fries & some salad vegetables on the side. If you would like the recipe for my Turkey veggie Burgers just follow the steps below. 1 lb Ground Turkey 1 small onion or half a regular sized onion chop
