Parmesan zucchini chips

When I was on keto, I made a lot of these types of snacks. I love that a muffin pan can make way more things than muffins.

These Parmesan Zucchini chips are a great snack.

Here’s what I used:

  • Parmesan cheese (finely shredded)
  • 1 zucchini (diced into cubes)
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Pepper (to taste)
  • Paprika (to taste)
  • Olive oil

Tips:

  • You’ll need a muffin pan
  • Use as much cheese as you want to make as many chips as you want

How to serve:

  • As chips!

Directions:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  • Oil your muffin pan with olive oil.
  • Add enough shredded Parmesan in each cup until the bottom of the cup is 80% covered
  • Place three cubes of zucchini in each cup
  • Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and paprika
  • Bake in the oven for 15 minutes until Parmesan is browned and hardened
  • After taking the muffin pan out of the oven, let it cool for 5-7 minutes
  • Use a spoon to loosen the chips to take them out
  • Ready to serve

Simple chicken adobo

Cooking is like one of those things for me. I can never be tired of it. And the more I cook, the more I seem to want to cook. I love that I found it and it found me.

I chose something simple for today – Chicken Adobo.

Here’s what I used:

  • 6 chicken drumsticks
  • 5 cloves of garlic (smashed)
  • 4 tablespoons of low sodium soy sauce 
  • 3 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar 
  • 4 bay leaves
  • 1 tablespoon of canola oil
  • 1/2 cup of water
  • 1 shallot (chopped)

Tips:

  • I keep the skin on the drumsticks for more fatty flavor, but you can do this recipe with skin off as well. 
  • A clove of garlic is one off of the entire head of garlic.
  • I used part of the soy sauce/vinegar when marinating and then more of them when cooking.
  • I like to break apart my bay leaves (not into too many pieces) so the flavor becomes more spread out.

How to serve:

  • This dish is best served over rice. 
  • This recipe can probably feed 2-3 people.
  • I like to roast some hearty vegetables (eggplant, zucchini) to go with this dish.

Directions:

  • Make sure the chicken is fully defrosted.
  • Put the chicken drumsticks into a mixing bowl and marinate it with 3 tablespoons of low sodium soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, the smashed garlic, and 2 bay leaves.
  • Marinate the chicken for at least 1 hour
  • Heat up 1 tablespoon of canola oil in a pot.
  • Place the marinated chicken into the pot on medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes.
  • Add the 1/2 cup of water and bring it to a boil.
  • Add the rest of soy sauce and apple cider vinegar.
  • Add the chopped shallots and turn the fire to medium-low
  • Cap the pot and simmer for at least 45 minutes.
  • Add more bay leaves if you wish.
  • Ready to serve.
