BBQ chicken, crispy roasted balsamic garlic mushrooms and quick dairy-free creamy spinach mashed potatoes.

 

I used oyster and baby bella, but this recipe works for any mushrooms. The potatoes also came out soooo creamy...this is a simple one that comes together quickly. I used my fail-proof juicy chicken method.

Ingredients

• Chicken:
• 3 chicken breasts
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon pepper
• 1.5 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon ghee or coconut oil
• bbq sauce (to taste/to your liking)
• Mushroom:
• 1 pound of sliced/mixed mushrooms
• 1 tablespoon olive oil or melted ghee
• 1.5 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 3 cloves minced garlic
• sprinkle of coconut sugar (optional)
• Potatoes:
• 1 pound of chopped gold potatoes
• 3-4 tablespoons plain unsweetened dairy-free creamer or milk
• 3/4 cup steamed spinach
• 1 teaspoon (or to taste) salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons butter/ghee/coconut oil
• 2-4 tablespoons of Regular or dairy-free parmesan (optional)

  Instructions

  Chicken

  1. Pat dry 3 chicken breasts, season generously with salt and pepper, and allow chicken to sit in fridge uncovered for 30 minutes (gets them really juicy).
  2. Pat the chicken dry again then heat olive oil over medium-low, searing chicken breast side down for about 9 minutes. Add some ghee or coconut oil, flip and cook another 6-9 minutes — until cooked through. Brush immediately with BBQ sauce.
     

  Mushroom

  1. Preheat the oven to 400.
  2. Toss the mushrooms with olive oil or melted ghee, balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper, garlic, and a little sprinkle of coconut sugar (optional).
  3. Toss and roast in an oven safe pan for 40 minutes, tossing a couple times. 

  
  Potatoes

  1. Add potatoes to a pot of salted boiling water (enough to cover the potatoes), cover the pan and cook for about 10 minutes until tender.
  2. Drain the liquid, then add dairy-free creamer or milk of choice, steamed spinach, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and butter/ghee/coconut oil (use coconut oil or ghee for dairy-free or paleo).
  3. Mash together with a fork until creamy and mixed together well! Optional: add some regular or dairy-free parmesan
