Herb Roast Chicken | Air Fryer Herbed Roast Chicken

The air fryer makes the most crispy chicken with so little oil, and I love to cook my chicken in it. Just look at the beautiful golden color the chicken gets! The chicken cooks quickly so it stays juicy, so you get crispy skin and juicy meat which is the perfect combo.

But the one thing to note is that it’s actually difficult to make dry meats in the air fryer and get them to taste good. So for this recipe, I wanted to see about making chicken breast in the air fryer without drying it out. You MUST leave the skin on!

Do NOT take the skin off when cooking. If you don’t want to eat it afterward, you can take it off. But allow it to cook with the skin on so you get some natural basting from that chicken skin.

Also, be sure to use a meat thermometer so you aren’t overcooking the chicken. If you overcook it, it will definitely dry out.

Feel free to spray with oil while cooking to keep the surface moist and evenly browning if you need.

The herbs and spices used in this are paprika, thyme, rosemary, garlic powder and salt and pepper. Simple right?

Combine that with butter and some lemon wedges and that’s really all you need to make this recipe. Classic Herb Roast Chicken in very little time that comes out perfect in the air fryer.

Low Carb Soup | Instant Pot Sausage Kale Soup

This Low Carb Sausage Kale Soup is loaded with protein and flavor and is one of my favorite things to make. It’s sort of like having the best part of a spaghetti sauce but in a soup.

This Low Carb sausage kale soup is one of the heartiest soups you will ever make and you will love how meaty and delicious this is. It’s super easy to make because you don’t have to cook the sausage in advance, or dirty several different pots.

One of the reasons I love my Instant Pot, is the fact that it makes it so simple to make one-pot meals. I take advantage of this so often that my pots and pans feel neglected most of the time.

It’s a straightforward one-pot meals where you just pour in ingredients and cook all in one go.

When I’m eating low carb, especially if I’m trying to get back in the Keto saddle, I eat soups like this a lot. They’re very filling, they don’t feel like a diet food, and since there’s such a large amount of liquid I can eat a lot without consuming a lot of calories.

But of course, it’s not like we need a REASON to eat soup because…Soup! I love soup every which way.

Other ways to enjoy this Sausage Kale Soup

So you notice, it looks a lot like hearty spaghetti sauce, right? If you wanted to, you can definitely use it in place of spaghetti sauce, over noodles for non-keto, or over zoodles for keto.

If you find it too thin for your liking, you can add a cornstarch slurry for non-keto, or 1/4 teaspoon of xanthan gum sprinkled in, to help thicken the soup/sauce. (Spauce?)
