Oh, hi there. You’re pretty busy right now, aren’t you? Okay, I will make this brief. Print, bookmark, or pin this Easy Cheesy Roasted Garlic Chicken Skillet Slider recipe. Better yet, make it for dinner!

It’s 4:00, do you know what’s for dinner?

We’ve all been there. Many of us are “there” right now. It goes like this: You have no idea what’s for dinner, and you’re weary.

But wait, there’s more!  

You’re trying to eat clean and trying to go the keto route, paleo, or gluten-free. This makes dinner a little complicated sometimes.

This post is happily sponsored by Kevin’s Natural Foods. #kevinsrecipechallenge

Kevin to the rescue!

You know I’m all about being helpful. And healthy! I’ve also been afraid to walk down that frozen or prepared foods aisle at the store, thinking, “Nope, not for me. They’re not healthy.” 

I feel good about Kevin’s Natural foods because I know I can still eat well by keeping them on hand, whether for the four-o-clock pinch or meal planning.

I first tried Kevin’s Cauliflower Mac n Cheese when it was a special buy at Aldi’s. The ingredients were simple and pure, and we were delighted to discover they tasted great!

Kevin’s also has a line of delicious five-minute entrees like Peppercorn Steak, Cilantro Lime Chicken, and Roasted Garlic Chicken.

My recipe for Easy Cheesy Roasted Garlic Chicken Skillet Sliders only has seven ingredients and seven steps. Best of all, you can complete it from skillet to table in ten minutes!

Here’s a pro tip – A cast iron skillet adds a bit of foodie-pop to the presentation!

I even made a short how-to video for you!

The secret is sous-vide.

The Roasted Garlic Chicken that comes in Kevin’s Natural Foods is cooked to perfection. It is tender chicken breast strips that have been thoroughly cooked using a gourmet cooking technique called “sous-vide.”

Added is a creamy roasted garlic sauce made with coconut milk, chicken fat and stock, tapioca starch, roasted garlic, Chablis wine, yeast extract, dehydrated garlic, coconut sugar, lemon juice, sea salt, xanthan gum, black pepper, and dehydrated onion.

The combination of tender chicken and creamy broth melted on a keto roll with soy-free mayonnaise, pesto, and gooey Gouda cheese will be a delicious dinner or a fantastic appetizer! 

Now, it’s your turn.

Since you’ve already printed off the recipe (or pinned it for later), it’s time to make dinner! 

Suppose you have Kevin’s Natural Foods Roasted Garlic Chicken already on hand, kudos! You are ready to go with just a few simple ingredients. Kevin’s has made it easy with a store locator and helpful recipes and tips on social via their Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest channels. Check them out!

Eat happily,

My name is Lyndi Fultz, and I live in the beautiful Ozark Mountains, which span Northwest Arkansas and Southwest Missouri.

I like to share small ideas for living simply and eating happily.

You will find that I talk a lot about food because we all need to eat. Why not add little bits of food joy where possible?

Full disclosure, this picture isn't me BUT I do have the exact same coffee cup. Anyoo, I'm reminded how wonderful it is to be still. Not that I ever forget that reminder, it's just easier to revel in it, next to a fire. With snow softing falling outside. You know what I mean?

First, it was a percolator.

Next, along came a bodum pour over.
Quickly replaced by a French Press.
Then came an Aeropress.

Now, Aeropress is making a comeback. 
And our beloved LaVazza espresso.
Which tastes like vacation at the Sonnelap in Vail.

Am I the only one who does coffee in phases?

What's next?

Probably need an espresso maker!

Both have their places. But man, oh man, I am finding myself craving more of the latter: slow, easy, chill.

“Just like becoming an expert in wine–you learn by drinking it, the best you can afford–you learn about great food by finding the best there is, whether simply or luxurious. Then you savor it, analyze it, and discuss it with your companions, and you compare it with other experiences.” – Julia Child
