Whether you choose a traditional flatbread available at almost all grocery stores or a cauliflower crust, your mouth, eyes and belly will be satisfied and happy.

Gluten and Carb Watchers, I’ve Got Your Back With Several Choices!

If you wish to skip the traditional flatbread to keep the carbs and gluten in check, you may want to opt for a cauliflower crust instead of flatbread! Many stores carry cauliflower crust options that are delicious. But you can also order online and have them delivered to your door. We love two brands of Cauliflower Crust. For this recipe we used Caulipower Pizza Crust. It is gluten free, thin and crisp. But if you want to go completely grain free,  Cali’flour Pizza Crust works well and only 60 calories and 1 net carb per serving! (If you want to buy Cali’flour Foods Pizza Crusts use the discount code theorganickitchen at check out to receive 10% off orders over $50) Trust us, you’ll never miss the bread with either of these crusts!

The Recipe: Rosemary Potato Flatbread with Cauliflower Crust Option

Tips and What You Need: I love a good cast iron pan for frying potato slices. You will need a cookie sheet and a good knife.

One of our favorite recipes at Rustic is the lemon chicken inspired by Martin Scorsese’s mother, whom Francis visited with often. The chicken is drowned in lemon juice with fresh oregano, and cooked to a golden brown. 

Course: dinner
Keyword: chicken dinner, Paleo, roasted potatoes, whole30
Servings: 2 servings
Author: Sun Basket Meal Delivery
Ingredients
  • 3/4 pound new potatoes (white, rose or yukon gold work well)
  • 1 sprig fresh rosemary
  • 1/2 pound baby broccoli (broccolini)
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 10 ounces boneless chicken thigh pieces
  • 1 lemon
  • 2 medium shallots
  • 1 teaspoon fresh garlic, grated or minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh oregano
  • 1/4-1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes (note: red pepper flakes lose potency over time, so if yours aren't fresh you may want to add a bit more)
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup white wine (white grape juice or water for my paleo/whole30 friends)
Instructions
Roast the potatoes and baby broccoli:

  1. Heat the oven to 425ºF.

    Scrub the potatoes; cut them into quarters.

    Trim the ends from the baby broccoli, strip the rosemary leaves from the stems; coarsely chop the leaves. Set aside.

    On one end of a sheet pan, toss the potatoes and rosemary with 1 tablespoon olive oil, bake for 20 minutes.

While Potatoes Roast Prep Remaining Ingredients:

  1. Peel and finely chop the shallots.

    Finely chop, press, or grate enough garlic to measure 1 teaspoon.

    Strip the oregano leaves from the stems; coarsely chop the leaves

    After potatoes have cooked for 20 minutes, remove pan from oven add the baby broccoli with 1 to 2 teaspoons oil and toss. Season the broccoli and potatoes with salt and pepper. Place back in the oven and roast until tender and lightly browned, another 15 minutes or so.

While the vegetables roast, brown the chicken and lemon slices:

  1. Transfer chicken to a plate; pat dry with a paper towel. Cut thighs in half, season generously with salt and pepper.

    Thinly slice half the lemon; juice the other half and set aside for finishing the dish.

    In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 tablespoon olive oil until hot but not smoking. Add the chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned but not yet cooked through (3 to 5 minutes a side). Transfer to a plate.

    Add the lemon slices to the pan; cook until browned on one side, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to the plate with the chicken; do not clean the pan.

Cook remaining ingredients:

  1. In the same pan used for the chicken, if dry, add 1 to 2 teaspoons olive oil and warm over medium heat. Stir in the shallots, garlic, oregano, and as many chili flakes as you like. Season with salt and pepper and cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.

Finish the chicken:

  1. Add ¼ cup white wine (or water) to the shallot mixture; bring to a boil, loosening any browned bits. Add the broth, chicken, and lemon slices; bring to a boil. Cook at a vigorous simmer until the chicken is cooked through, 2 to 4 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice; season to taste with salt and pepper.

  2. Remove vegetables from oven when they are browned and slightly crispy, plate. Add chicken and pour sauce over the top!

Grilled Chicken with Strawberry and Arugula Salad! #grilledchicken #strawberrysalad #paleo #whole30 #recipesfortwo

 

The Chicken:

Brining is the secret to success when it comes to boneless, skinless chicken breasts (don’t worry it’s easy!). These breasts were brined in sea salt salt and water for 30 minutes, then grilled to juicy perfection. No dry, tasteless chicken breasts here!

Grilled Chicken with Strawberry and Arugula Salad! #grilledchicken #strawberrysalad #paleo #whole30 #recipesfortwo

The Salad:

Peppery arugula with sweet, ripe, colorful strawberries, sprinkled with roasted pine nuts. So simple. So lovely.

The Dressing:

We give you two choices: we prefer an olive oil and white balsamic vinaigrette on this salad. It’s smooth, fresh and light, perfect for spring and summer. But you can also use a traditional balsamic.

The Recipe: Grilled Chicken with Strawberry and Arugula Salad!

What you need: Himalayan or kosher sea salt for brining and a quality white balsamic vinegar (<—our fave but we also like this one) If you prefer you can use a traditional balsamic. You will also need parchment paper and a rolling pin for pounding chicken.

Grilled Naan Chicken Salad Wraps with Cherry Salsa #saladwraps #easydinner #cherrysalsa #chickenwraps

No “Real” Cooking Required:

Ok we love a big elaborate BBQ for sure. But sometimes we want that fun, outdoor BBQ experience without all the fancy sauces, multiple courses, and clean up. When we want a fast delicious grilled menu in minutes, we opt for these Grilled Naan Chicken Salad Wraps with Cherry Salsa. Just heat naan outside on the grill or inside on a grill pan, add lettuce, rotisserie chicken, cherry salsa and some feta and voila! A tasty, gorgeous meal with very little work.

Grilled Naan Chicken Salad Wraps with Cherry Salsa #saladwraps #easydinner #cherrysalsa #chickenwraps

The Salsa:

This salsa is not only beautiful, it’s a sweet, tart, spicy, salty combination that compliments the savory chicken and feta perfectly. To make your life easier, use a cherry pitter. It’s a little hand held device that pops that pit right out! But if you don’t have one, no worries, I give instructions for pitting cherries the old fashioned way in the recipe below.

Grilled Naan Chicken Salad Wraps with Cherry Salsa #saladwraps #easydinner #cherrysalsa #chickenwraps

That’s a Wrap!

Wrap all that goodness up in warm grilled naan and it’s heaven on earth. Your mouth and your belly will be happy. You hands will be too, since there will be like three dishes to wash…unless you use paper plates and then there won’t be one.

A quick and easy meal that is warm, delicious and satisfying! Please see "tips" above in blog post for advice on pitting cherries.

Course: dinner, lunch
Keyword: cherry salsa, chicken wrap, wrap
Servings: 4 wraps
Author: Linda Spiker
Ingredients
Cherry Salsa:
  • 1 cup pitted and quartered cherries (I used red and yellow)
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 1-2 teaspoons or more or less finely minced jalapeno, basically use as much or as little as works with your level of heat tolerance
  • 1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons roasted salted pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
  • juice of half a lime
  • sea salt to taste
Wraps:
  • 2 cups warm rotisserie chicken
  • 2 cups fresh lettuce (I used baby greens)
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta or soft goat cheese
  • 4 pieces naan bread, grilled
Instructions

  1. Note: To save time I recommend using a cherry pitter. If you choose to do it by hand, no problem! Use a knife to score the cherry around the pit, then twist each half of the cherry in opposite directions, cherry will come apart. Use fingers to pry that pit out!

Cherry Salsa Prep:

  1. Pit and dice cherries, toss with minced jalapenos, onions, lime juice, sea salt, pepitas and 1/2 tablespoon cilantro, reserving the rest for garnish. Set aside

Wraps:

  1. If using an outdoor grill, preheat to 400 degrees with lid closed. If cooking indoors use a grill pan on the cooktop to heat naan right before serving.

  2. Shred warm chicken by hand

  3. Add naan to pan or outdoor grill and cook each side until grill marks are established and bread is hot (1-2 minutes)

  4. Add lettuce to each piece of naan, add shredded chicken, feta and salsa, sprinkle with remaining cilanto

  5. Serve

Herbed Chicken Breast with Carrot Purée and Brown Butter

Posted on by

When we visit our cabin in Sundance, Utah, we often eat at a little farm to table restaurant nearby. They serve an amazing Herbed Chicken Breast with Carrot Purée and Brown Butter that we just love. When we return home we always crave that meal. So I recreated it, and you my lucky friends get to reap the rewards!

Herbed Chicken Breast with Carrot Purée and Brown Butter #bakedchicken #carrotpuree #glutenfree #paleo

 

The Chicken:

Brined for 30 minutes, smothered in herbs and then cooked with the skin on, this chicken breast is anything but dry and tasteless. Browned in a skillet and then oven finished, so you have that fabulous combination of crispy skin and tender meat. This meal is casual enough for everyday and special enough for romantic celebrations.

Herbed Chicken Breast with Carrot Purée and Brown Butter #bakedchicken #carrotpuree #glutenfree #paleo

 

THREE KEYS TO MAKING A PERFECTLY TENDER CHICKEN BREAST:

  1. Bone in, skin on! The bone and the skin make for the most flavorful, tender chicken breast.
  2. Brine: Don’t be intimidated! It’s as simple as soaking the chicken in salt water for 30 minutes.
  3. Start on the cooktop, finish in the oven. Tender inside, crispy outside. And there you have it! How easy is that?

The Carrot Purée and Brown Butter:

There is nothing better than taking a forkful of this savory herbed chicken and swirling it around in that bed of sweet carrot purée and browned butter. If you have never tasted brown butter, it has a caramelized nutty flavor that basically makes this meal a little piece of heaven.

The Recipe: Herbed Chicken Breast with Carrot Purée and Brown Butter

Tips and what you will need: People often overcook chicken, making it dry. Resist that temptation! You will need a food processor or blender, an oven safe pan and a good sea salt: I use fine himalayan sea salt for brining.

A tender chicken breast, rubbed with herbs and served with whipped carrots and brown butter!

Course: dinner
Keyword: brown butter, carrot puree, herbed chicken, Paleo, roasted chicken
Servings: 4 servings
Author: Linda Spiker
Ingredients
  • 4 chicken breasts, bone in skin on
  • 1/3 cup kosher salt, or Himalayan sea salt (for brining)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • pepper, to taste
  • garlic powder, to taste
  • 4 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves stripped and chopped (you can use extra sprigs for garnish)
  • 2 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley
  • 4 cups carrots, peeled and sliced 1/4" thick
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons butter, separated
Instructions

  1. Place 6 cups water into a large bowl, add sea salt and stir. Add chicken breasts. Go do something productive or take a nap while chicken brines for 30 minutes

  2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees and place oven rack in upper third of oven

  3. Remove breasts from salt water and pat dry with paper towel. Brush chicken skin with a little olive oil. Sprinkle with garlic powder, sea salt and pepper. Rub gently into skin

  4. Heat oven safe pan on cooktop on med /high heat for two minutes. Add olive oil. When oil is hot add chicken, skin side down to pan, cooking until golden brown, lowering heat if necessary (about five minutes)

  5. Turn chicken skin side up, sprinkle with thyme and transfer pan to oven and cook for 20-30 minutes depending on the size of chicken breast.

  6. While chicken breasts are cooking, make carrots and brown butter:

  7. Place a medium size sauce pan on cooktop on high heat, add broth. Bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer. Add carrots and cook until soft and much of the broth has evaporated (about 8 minutes) NOTE: if the carrots are soft but you feel like there is too much broth left in the pan, pour broth into a small bowl and use only if needed to thin our puree

  8. Pour into carrots and what's left of broth into processor or blender, add 2 tablespoons butter, a pinch of sea salt and pepper and blend until smooth. Place back in pan and keep warm while you make brown butter:

  9. Place a very small pan on medium heat, add 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter. Simmer butter, stirring frequently for about five minutes. Be patient. Butter will bubble, then become frothy and finally the center will erupt with a golden color. Immediately turn off heat and stir. Your butter is now browned! 

  10. When chicken breasts are done, plate food: Divide carrots evenly onto four plates, top with chicken, drizzle with brown butter and garnish with parsley and a few remaining sprigs of thyme. Eat up!
