Lemon Marinated Chicken

2 large chicken breasts -- bone in and skin on
1/2 cup lemon juice
2 Tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper

Sprinkle chicken breast with salt and pepper. Combine all ingredients. Pour half over chicken and let sit for 2 hours or more, up to overnight in the fridge.

Roast chicken breasts at 350 degrees F for 35 to 40 minutes. After it's cooked pour the other half of the marinade over the chicken. Cover and let sit for ten minutes. Slice it up and serve. Serves: 2

North African Roast Chicken Thighs with Raisins, Almonds, and Apricots

In this dish we see a commonly used technique for cooking with spices, which is to add them at the saute stage and sweat them to bring out their flavors. Serves 4 to 6 as entree

12 skinless chicken thighs (bones in)
Salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons virgin olive oil
1 yellow onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 small to medium-sized sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into bite-size chunks
1 tablespoon minced ginger
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon paprika
2 teaspoons salt
4 cups chicken stock
2 tablespoons lemon juice (about 1/2 lemon)
1/4 cup raisins
1/4 cup dried apricots, chopped
1/4 cup blanched almonds, roughly chopped
1 tablespoon minced fresh red or green chile pepper of your choice

Heat the oven to 350°F. Sprinkle the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. In a large saute pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking; add the chicken thighs and cook, moving around every couple of minutes, until well browned on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove and set aside.

Add the onion slices to the saute pan and saute over medium heat, stirring frequently, until they begin to brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring frequently, 1 additional minute. Add the sweet potatoes, ginger, spices, and salt and cook, still stirring frequently, for 1 more minute. Add the stock, reserved chicken thighs, and all the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil.

Cover the saute pan, put it in the preheated oven, and cook until the chicken thighs are tender and cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and serve.

1/4 cup olive oil
1 large onion, diced
pepper to taste
juice of 2 lemons
2 large carrots, sliced
4 celery stalks, sliced
2 3-pound chickens, cut into pieces, no backs or wings
20-30 garlic cloves, unpeeled and left whole (yes, it said "twenty to thirty"!)

Chicken and Coconut

2 cups deboned chicken pieces
2 tsp chilli powder
2 eggs
2 cups shredded coconut
Coconut oil, to cook
Salt and pepper, to season

First, preheat your oven, and prepare a lined baking tray, that has been oiled. Meanwhile, beat the eggs and keep aside. Add the chilli powder, salt and pepper to the coconut and mix well. Dry the pieces of chicken as thoroughly as you can, with a paper napkin. Dip the chicken pieces into the egg mixture, coating thoroughly, and then dredge them through the desiccated coconut. Place these in a prepared baking tray, drizzling a little oil over the top. Bake until golden brown, making sure to flip the pieces over, so as to cook both sides evenly. Season lightly before serving.

Chicken Thighs with Flax Seed Coating

My kids like it when I coat chicken thighs with ground up flax seeds (whole works also) and bake them. I usually make a coating of ground flax seed, garlic, salt, pepper, and sometimes oregano. You can alter the herbs to your liking. You can dip in egg first to get the coating to stick better. Bake at 350° for 20 min. turn over and cook another 20 minutes.

Chicken Thighs with Stacie's Suggestions

Along the same idea that Trish had, they can be cut into chicken fingers, coated with ground sesame seeds, baked and dipped into a sauce of some sort. I buy german mustard made with apple cider vinegar and mix it with "really raw" honey, equal parts. You could also toss the chicken fingers in an arrowroot/paprika/thyme/salt/pepper mixture, spray them with olive oil and bake until golden. These are fabulous with the honey mustard sauce. But arrowroot is very sticky to work with.

You can also boil them and cube them, then toss them with some arugula, toasted walnuts, dried cherries, sliced celery and mayo (original recipe calls for bleu cheese dressing and a handful of roquefort cheese but mayo works fine.) Then serve this on a bed of fresh greens, with some freshly cracked pepper.

Or, go the Thai route: chicken chunks, coconut milk, Thai curry powder, fish sauce and fresh basil, heat it all together and serve. (Bamboo shoots too if desired, though paleo objectionable.)

Chicken Thighs with Pesto

Chicken is also quite nice with pesto. If the skin is attached, try working about a tablespoon of pesto in between the meat and the skin, before baking. (Pesto is easy to make paleo; just omit the cheese.)

The Best Whole Chicken in a Crock Pot

I've tried a ridiculous amount of crock pot recipes, and this is by far the best (and easiest) way to slow cook a whole chicken until it is falling-off-the bone delicious. And if you have a well-stocked spice cabinet you'll hardly have to buy anything to make this dish.

2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne (red) pepper
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 onion
1 large chicken

Combine the dried spices in a small bowl.

Loosely chop the onion and place it in the bottom of the slow cooker.

Remove any giblets from the chicken and then rub the spice mixture all over. You can even put some of the spices inside the cavity and under the skin covering the breasts.

Put prepared chicken on top of the onions in the slow cooker, cover it, and turn it on to high. There is no need to add any liquid.

Cook for 4 - 5 hours (for a 3 or 4 pound chicken) or until the chicken is falling off the bone.

Suggestion: Make homemade stock with the leftover bones.

Comments:
- I left it on low for about 8-8.5 hours and it turned out great! My chicken was a little over 6 lbs.

Erik's Crockpot Chicken

One chicken (approx 1kg/a good 2 pounds)
3 limes or small lemons
1 large bell pepper/red, orange or yellow for colour
About a dozen pickled chillies (I use what in Europe is known as "kebab-pepperoni's", they're medium-hot pepperfruits of the "Spanish pepper"-variety. I guess you could use pickled jalapenos, but these being too hot, I would use fewer, seed them and then make up for the lack of green with half a green bell pepper.) Fresh champignon de Paris-mushrooms to fill the pot up Paprika-powder/caraway-powder/black peppercorn-powder

Quart the limes and squeeze them over the chicken in the pot, then stuff the chicken with the limes (any extras put around in the pot). Cut the pepperfruit into thin stripes and slice the mushrooms thickly - add to the pot with the chillies. Sprinkle the top of the chicken LIBERALLY with paprika and caraway (about 1 tbsp each, and peppercorns to taste).

For best effect the chicken should be still half frozen (adding it's juices to the pot), thawed just enough to allow insertion of the lime-quarts. cook for 1h 45mins in the oven at 250 dgrs Celsius (482F).

Slowcooker Sri Lankan Chicken

5 chicken breasts
1 medium white onion, diced
1 knob of ginger, grated (about 2 tbsp)
4 thai chilis (I used two jalapenos and two serranos) - thinly sliced
4 cloves garlic
1 tbsp coriander
1 tsp turmeric
cayenne - a pinch if you like it mild up to 1/2 tbs to get it pretty fiery
1 tbsp curry powder (or 1/4 cup fresh curry leaves or 1 pandan leaf)
1 can coconut milk
2 tsp coconut oil
2 tbsp lemon juice

Get a large skillet going over medium-high heat (I am using cast iron) and saute your onions, peppers, and garlic in 2tsp of coconut oil until the onion starts to become translucent. Now add your spices and keep cooking until it becomes very aromatic and gets a little bit of a toasted smell - this will greatly enhance the flavor and strength of the spices.

Take your vegetable and spice mixture and scrape it into your slowcooker. Pour in one can of coconut milk and your lemon juice. Mix well. Place your chicken breasts in the mixture and ladle a bit of the sauce over the tops.

Cook on low in your slowcooker for 6 hours, or on high for 4 hours.

1 tablespoons turmeric
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 whole lemon
3 1/2 lb. broiler/fryer chicken, skinned and trimmed of excess fat, rinsed and patted dry
1 large onion, chopped
5 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
1 pound carrots, chopped
2 red bell peppers, chopped
1 can (14 ounces) fire roasted crushed tomatoes
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil

In a small bowl, mix together the cumin, paprika, turmeric, cayenne pepper and salt. Add the juice from one whole lemon (reserving the lemon rind) and mix well.

Using your hands, apply the spice mixture generously all over the inside and outside of the bird. Stuff the cavity of the chicken with half of the onions, half of the garlic and half of the cilantro.

Place the remaining onions, garlic and cilantro in the bottom of a 5 or 6-quart slow cooker. Add the carrots, bell pepper and crushed tomatoes. Stir in the extra virgin olive oil. Season with salt to taste. Place the chicken on top of the vegetables. Cover and cook on low for about 7 hours or on high for approximately 4 hours, or until the meat pulls easily away from the bones. Serve warm.
