Deviled Chicken Thighs from NTTimes.com
![]() In cooking, the term ''deviled'' has several meanings, but it most often implies a preparation with a sharp flavor, most often derived from mustard, vinegar, cayenne or other chiles. In this dish, you don't need vinegar, because there is plenty of acidity in Dijon mustard. Nor, strictly speaking, do you need cayenne (and I omit it when cooking for children); the taste is strong without it. You can make this dish with chicken breasts if you prefer; I recommend bone-in breasts, which follow the same procedure. For boneless, skinless breasts -- forget crispness, of course -- smear the meat all over with the mustard mixture, then broil it for just about six minutes, turning two or three times to prevent burning. – 8 chicken thighs, or a mixture of thighs and drumsticks – Salt and freshly ground black pepper – ⅓ cup Dijon mustard – ⅓ cup minced shallots, onion or scallion – ¼ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper or Tabasco sauce, or to taste – Minced parsley for garnish, optional Heat the broiler to its maximum, and set the rack about 4 inches from the heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides, and place it in a pan, skin side up. Broil, watching carefully, until the skin is golden brown, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, combine the mustard, shallots and cayenne. (If you have a small food processor, you can chop the shallots by throwing them in with the mustard and pulsing the machine on and off a few times.) When the chicken has browned, remove it from oven, and turn it. Spread just a teaspoon or so of the mustard mixture on the underside of the chicken, and broil about 5 minutes. Turn the chicken, and spread the remaining mixture on the upper, or skin side. Broil until mustard begins to brown. At this point, the chicken may be done. (There will be only the barest trace of pink near the bone; an instant-read thermometer inserted into the meat will read 160 degrees.) If it is not done, turn off the broiler and leave the chicken in the oven 5 more minutes or so. Garnish and serve. Low carb, less than 30 minutes, serves 4 |

![]() ![]() I usually make something really similar to this "Magic Green Sauce" once or twice a month and use it on salad, chicken, as a dip with sliced raw veggies, or what have you. My version adds: Cayenne (Good for your heart, blood and all sorts of things) in place of the jalapeno Home-sprouted broccoli sprouts More water when using as a dressing for salads And I've never added the pistachios but may give that a try next time around. Serving size is 1/4 cup and has less than 5 carbs and that's with the pistachios. Anywho, it is really good and good for you! ![]()

I eat a lot of good carbs (like quinoa) because they contain essential nutrients. Maybe this has been discussed, but if we just look at the grams per serving, then foods like quinoa or chickpeas area bit high in carbs, but the effect on blood sugar is balanced by the fact that the carbs come primarily from dietary fiber.
Since I'm vegan so I need to get the calories somewhere and I eat a lot of carbs. But good carbs don't make me gain weight. I gain weight from either wheat-based products or products that contain added sugar. Here are some good sources of protein and calcium that don't come from animal products: ![]() In a lot of dishes you can replace the bread with lettuce to lower the carbs. Maybe I should do this more often. ![]() ![]()

Hi Angeltoes,
While I appreciate and respect that your lifestyle food choice is Vegan, which includes a lot of good carbs, this thread is intended for sharing information, recipes etc. for those who have more of a Paleo [gluten free] lifestyle when it comes to food choices. We choose to limit carbs, while consuming high protein, (including animal products) along with a high level of healthy fats. I found the link to a healthy vegan thread here on the Planet that seems like it is more in line with your eating habits than this thread is. Hopefully it will be of help to you in your search. I am pretty sure there is another Vegan thread floating around as well, I just couldn't locate it. http://www.butchfemmeplanet.com/foru...ead.php?t=4500 Quote:

Jesse, why the leeks? Couldn't we just make it without the S&P? I don't cook with either. I have recently discovered Himalayan salt, it is doing fabulous things for my health!! Has put an end to my diabetic neuropathy in my feet, such a blessing. I'm hoping with enough time I will begin to heal my heart. I might add H Salt to this recipe, but pepper is not even in my kitchen. LoL....
![]() Oh, and you mentioned a long time ago that you were able to buy virgin coconut oil in 5 Gallon bucket? Could you share that with us? I use it for everything..... Every little thing. It is healing the skin on my cats where the fleas have eaten them up and left sores and scabs, cured a nasty spider bite on my hip, helping me lose fat, stopping my false appetite, and more. Thank you by the way for this thread, I've learned so much and benefited from all the tips and suggestions, and I share them with all my friends and people I meet along the way.... Namaste' Quote:

Sweet Bliss,
I am not the original creator of the recipe, but can say that to me leeks add a nice taste with the coconut milk & lime. I would assume the recipe could be made just as well without using the leek, try it and see what works best for you. ![]() I do not buy coconut oil in 5 gallon buckets because it would likely go rancid before I would personally use that amount, seeing as it is just me and Sadie here. I buy mine online and make sure it is organic cold pressed. I buy from a couple of different places depending on price and stock. I know there are places that do carry it in bulk. I am glad that you are finding stuff here that benefits you. ![]() Jesse Quote:

Hey, about the starchy carb cravings, I have found out that my magnesium levels are extremely low, and it's the low Mag levels that cause my cravings, so I have investigated the Natural salt remedy.
I have gotten amazing results. My Diabetic Neuropathy is GONE. The constant pain all over my body is GONE. The aching and stiffness is GONE. I highly recommend watching this video, take good notes!!! https://youtu.be/8xweziIaUMo |
