8 (5 ounce) boneless chicken thighs
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil, or as needed
½ medium onion, finely chopped
7 cloves garlic, chopped, or to taste
1 cup honey
½ cup soy sauce
1 pinch onion powder, or to taste
1 pinch garlic powder, or to taste

Pat chicken dry and season chicken on both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and brown on one side, 5 to 7
minutes.
Flip chicken; continue to cook until chicken is mostly (but not fully) cooked and onion and garlic
are soft, 3 to 5 minutes more. Remove chicken to a plate.
Cook onion and garlic in chicken drippings.
Add honey, soy sauce, onion powder, and garlic powder to the skillet. Stir and scrape the bottom
of the pan to get garlic and onion to mix with the liquid.
Return chicken to the skillet and reduce heat to medium. Cook until no longer pink in the center
and juices run clear, about 10 more minutes, turning once halfway through. An instant-read
thermometer inserted into the center of a thigh should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
Arrange chicken on a serving plate and drizzle liquid from the pan on top.

pinch red chili pepper flakes, squeeze of fresh lemon, optional

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees then line a 13" pizza pan or cookie sheet with parchment paper
or nonstick sprayed-foil and set aside. Place a half sheet pan on the bottom rack of your oven in
case of spillovers (the chicken releases a little bit of liquid during the baking process, but it cooks
off by the end).
To a large mixing bowl add the egg, onion powder, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and
pepper then stir with a fork to combine. Add the mozzarella cheese then stir to combine.
Crumble the ground chicken over the top then stir with a fork until the ingredients are well

golden brown on top, rotating the pan halfway through. Note: you may see excess liquid when
rotating the pan but it will cook off by the end of the baking time. Set the crust aside to cool
slightly.
While the crust is cooling, add the lettuce to a medium-sized mixing bowl then add the Caesar
salad dressing and toss to coat. Slice the chicken crust into four slices (or more) then top with the
dressed Caesar salad, sliced red onion, and parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
If you plan on saving some of the crust to eat later, wait to dress the lettuce and top the chicken
crust with it until just before eating.

Southwest Chicken Salad
1-1.5 lbs. chicken tenderloin, cooked and shredded
¾ cup black beans rinsed, drained and dried
¾ cup red bell pepper diced
¾ cup chickpeas rinsed, drained and dried
¾ cup whole kernel corn rinsed, drained and dried
¾ cup cucumber core and dice
⅓ cup shallots finely diced
¼ cup jalapeno finely diced
¼ cup cilantro chopped small
¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese
kosher salt to taste
cracked black pepper to taste
Chili Lime Yogurt Dressing
½ cup 0% Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons lime juice fresh squeezed
2 tablespoons diced green chilis mild, canned works best
½ teaspoon cumin
½ teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
1-2 tablespoons water add more or less based on your preferred thickness

Boil a pot of water and add the chicken tenderloin. Cook for 15-18 minutes or until the internal
temperature reaches 165 degrees. Drain off the water and allow the chicken to cool. Then shred
the chicken using two forks.
Next, grab a small mixing bowl and combine the 0% Greek yogurt, fresh squeezed lime juice,
mild canned diced green chilis (with the juice), garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, kosher salt
and water. Whisk well and set aside.
For a thicker dressing add less water, for a thinner dressing add more water. You can adjust
based on your preference.
Add the shredded chicken, vegetables, shredded cheese and herbs to a large mixing bowl. Season
with kosher salt and cracked black pepper. Taste and adjust accordingly. Then, pour as much or
as little chili lime yogurt dressing as you desire. I used about half. Toss until everything is well
coated.
