Crispy Cheese-Stuffed Chicken

Ingredients

For the chicken
• 4 medium chicken breast fillets
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese (about 150g)

For coating
• 1 cup all-purpose flour (125g)
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 2 cups crushed cornflakes or breadcrumbs (about 150g)
• ½ teaspoon paprika
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder

For frying
• Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

Butterfly or carefully slice each chicken breast to create a pocket without cutting all the way through.

Season the chicken with salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder and onion powder.

Stuff each chicken breast with shredded mozzarella cheese, then fold or close the chicken securely.

Prepare three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs and milk, and one with crushed cornflakes or breadcrumbs mixed with paprika and garlic powder.

Coat each stuffed chicken piece first in flour, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally coat generously with the crushed cornflakes or breadcrumbs.

Place the coated chicken on a tray and allow it to rest for about 10–15 minutes so the coating sticks well.

Heat enough oil over medium heat and fry the chicken until golden brown, crispy and fully cooked inside. Avoid very high heat so the coating does not burn before the chicken cooks through.

Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Allow to rest for a few minutes, slice open and enjoy the delicious melted cheese inside! 😋🧀

Chicken drumsticks that are crispy in an air fryer
These are juicy on the inside and crunchy on the outside. They're also one of the easiest dinners to make. No breading, no mess—just tasty chicken.
Things you need
8 to 10 chicken legs
1½ tbsp of olive oil
1 tsp of paprika
1 teaspoon of garlic powder
½ teaspoon of onion powder
½ tsp of smoked paprika or chili powder (optional)
Black pepper and salt
Directions
Get the chicken dry
Use paper towels to dry the drumsticks very well. This step is important because it makes the skin crispier.
Time of year
If you're using smoked paprika, toss the drumsticks with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Make sure they are all covered.
Fry in the air
Put the drumsticks in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Don't stack them.
Cook the chicken in an air fryer at 380°F (195°C) for 18 to 22 minutes, turning it halfway through, until the skin is crispy and the chicken is done.
Let it rest and serve.
Let them sit for a few minutes before you serve them. They'll be hot and juicy.
Advice
Give them an extra 2 to 3 minutes at the end if you want them to be even crispier.
After cooking, these taste great with BBQ sauce, buffalo sauce, or honey garlic.
The air fryer is great for reheating leftovers.

Shredded Beef in Gravy Recipe

Ingredients

• 3–4 lb chuck roast (boneless)

• 2½ tsp kosher salt (divided)

• 2 tsp black pepper

• 2 tsp garlic powder

• 2 tsp onion powder

• 2 tsp Chef Bae Seasoning

• 1 tsp smoked paprika

• 2 tbsp oil (vegetable or avocado)

• 1 medium onion, sliced

• 4 cloves garlic, minced

• 3 cups beef broth (low sodium)

• 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

• 1 tbsp soy sauce or Kitchen Bouquet

• 2 tbsp butter

• 2 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp cold water (slurry)

• Fresh parsley (optional garnish)

Instructions:

Pat the chuck roast dry. Season all over with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, Chef Bae Seasoning, and paprika.

Heat oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until deeply browned (about 3–4 minutes per side). Remove and set aside.

In the same pot, add sliced onions and cook until soft and lightly caramelized (5–7 minutes). Add garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.

Pour in beef broth, Worcestershire, and soy sauce. Scrape up all the brown bits. Add butter, then return the beef to the pot.

Cover and cook:

• Stovetop: Low heat, 3–3½ hours

• Oven: 300°F, 3½–4 hours

• Slow cooker: Low, 8 hours

Beef should shred easily with a fork. Remove beef, shred with two forks, discard excess fat, and return meat to the pot.

Stir in cornstarch slurry and simmer uncovered 5–10 minutes until gravy is thick, glossy, and coats the beef.

Adjust salt and pepper. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.

Keto Peanut Butter Mousse

Ingredients

4 oz of cream cheese (softened or room temperature)

½ cup heavy whipping cream (more if needed to thin the mixture)

2 1/2 tbsp of natural peanut butter (no sugar added)

5 tbsp Monk Fruit Confectioners Sweetener

½ tsp vanilla extract

Lily's chocolate chips or crushed peanuts (optional topping)

Instructions

In a medium-sized bowl, beat heavy whipping cream until it almost doubles in size. Set aside.

In a separate bowl, add the softened cream cheese, natural peanut butter, Swerve Confectioners (or Monkfruit Powdered), and vanilla then beat with a mixer until the peanut butter fluff is smooth and creamy.

Add the whipped cream to your peanut butter mixture and fold it in gently using a rubber spatula. Try to keep as much air in the mousse as possible. Mix until combined.

Top or add Lily's Chocolate Chips over top or crushed peanuts. (This is optional, but it really makes it tastes so amazing!)

Serve right away or refrigerate overnight. (I think it is best kept in the refrigerator overnight and served the next day!)
