is this you I hate cooking this is why I can't ever stick to a healthy diet because a lot requires some type of cooking Ugg I have heard this many times I want to show you that cooking does not need to be time consuming difficult or include a bunch of ingredients that you've never heard of before in fact if you can smush ingredients together and stick them in the oven you can be eating a healthy meal in less than 30 minutes that is keto and kid friendly here we go you've heard me talk about cooking at home if it intimidates you start with these Keto Chicken Tenders there are four steps shmush dump cook and eat first things first get your oven heating up to the cooking temperature which is 400 degrees Fahrenheit or 200 degrees Celsius and then you are ready for step one grab a large zip top bag and put all of your ingredients in it so lay the bag open and put in the juice of a small lime which is about one and a half tablespoons I start with the lime juice because I can squeeze it directly into the bag and easily scoop out any seeds that might fall into the bag next add one and a half tablespoons of a heat resistant oil I used avocado oil follow that with your spices now spices can be intimidating but this recipe calls for standard ones that you might already have in your home specifically chili powder paprika salt pepper and cayenne pepper as for the amounts I added one half tablespoons of chili powder and paprika I used smoked paprika but you can use the regular type if that is what you have on hand I then added one half teaspoon of salt and a quarter teaspoon each of pepper and cayenne pepper you can give the bag an early smooshing to get those ingredients Blended and then put in your chicken I'm using one pound of chicken tenders if you don't have chicken tenders you can simply cut a chicken breast into bite-sized pieces smush again and you are ready for step two the dump for easy cleanup line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray it with non-stick cooking spray then dump the contents of the plastic bag onto the foil and spread them so they are not overlapping step 3 cook put the baking sheet in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes you'll know chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit which is 74 degrees Celsius step four eat if you ate the entire pound of chicken your total carbs would only be 6.3 grams a serving has less than 2 grams and they're great on their own but you can dip them in blue cheese or ranch dressing just like you would if you ordered chicken wings out at a restaurant now there are always little tricks to learn along the way like rolling the lime before you cut it to free up the juice or using a citrus press which is easier on your hands you can also combine the ingredients the night before to marinate the chicken which makes meal time even quicker but what I'm trying to get across here is that you can cook at home and end up with a tasty meal with little fuss and there's a lot of satisfaction that comes from doing so and when you have a success under your belt you'll be inspired to do more and that's what you want just get the ball rolling as your comfort level grows you can experiment with fresh herbs and less processed ingredients and different cooking methods if you are starting at Square One make your side dishes super simple a bag of frozen broccoli has microwave instructions on the bag when it Cooks top it with butter salt and pepper if you want more taste add some cheese shredded cheddar cheese or grated Parmesan works well with broccoli the butter and cheese add flavor and fat that helps your body absorb the fat soluble vitamins in the meal I can honestly say that I used to hate to cook I now enjoy it but I'm not fancy using hard to pronounce and hard to find ingredients I like cooking with ingredients I can find at my local grocery store if you're like me I have low carb and keto cookbooks my family favorites has 35 recipes that I often make in my home you can look at what is inside by going to drbeckyfitness.com forward slash cookbook I'll leave a link in the video description an area below this video I hope this video has helped you overcome that initiation barrier we all have when we start cooking at home this chicken recipe can be printed from my blog so I will link that in the description area as well give it a try tonight and please share your tips for easy at home cooking in the comments below your insights will help others thanks for watching have a great rest of your day
