Buffalo Chicken Thighs
Servings 2-3
Ingredients:
-
1 package of boneless, skinless chicken thighs (usually 6 in a package)
-
2 Tbs of ghee, Fourth and Heart
-
1-2 Tbs extra virgin olive oil
-
Hot sauce
-
1 head of broccoli, cut into large florets, roasted
-
2 sweet potatoes, baked
-
2 avocados, sliced
Directions:
Sweet Potato:
-
Preheat oven to 415 degrees.
-
Place sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for about 45 min to an hour. Reserve on the side.
Roasted Broccoli:
-
Line a baking sheet with foil. Spread out broccoli florets. Drizzle with 1-2 tbs of olive oil, and then toss until coated. Season generously with salt and pepper.
-
Bake in 415 degree oven for 15-20 min (sometimes I'll go longer about 25, I like my broccoli nice and crispy brown!)
Chicken Thighs:
-
Lower oven to 350 degrees.
-
Heat a cast iron skillet to medium-medium high heat with ghee, Fourth and Heart.
-
Sear chicken thighs 2-3 minutes on each side. This gives them a beautiful golden brown color while keeping that moisture in resulting in a juicy chicken thigh!
-
Generously brush chicken thighs with hot sauce (I don't give an amount because this is preference depending on how much heat you like and can handle).
-
Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 20-25 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
-
I like to mash up half of the sweet potato in a bowl (skin on, more nutrients, with a little added ghee, because more healthy fats yay!).
-
Then I top with roasted broccoli, 1/2 of a sliced avocado, and more hot sauce!
*This gives me roughly 3 meals, 2 thighs per serving! Also this combo of sweet potatoes, broccoli, and avocado happens to be my favorite but, you can use any veggies you like, add the chicken to a salad, or use as a main dish with other sides! Sometimes I use BBQ sauce instead of hot sauce (I'll share my sauce recipe later).
