One-Pan Barbecue Chicken

By

Hi, guys! Happy Sunday!

It’s freeeeezing here (it was -3 degrees F when I woke up), so we’re just hanging out and getting things done around the house. More on that in a minute!

Since it’s Sunday and you might be doing some meal planning or food prep today, I wanted to share one of the easiest and most delicious dinners I’ve ever created. Seriously, we’ve made this same meal 3 weeks in a row now, and we’re still obsessed. It’s a recipe for 5-ingredient (yep) barbecue chicken with bacon (!) made in a single pan. Guys, it doesn’t get easier than this! Definitely check out the recipe below, give it a whirl, and let me know what you think. It’s definitely a good one! But, first, here are some photos from yesterday.

My Saturday morning started with a new favorite breakfast: Two rice cakes – one with peanut butter, banana slices, and cinnamon and the other with avocado and Everything But the Bagel Seasoning. So good and so filling!

After breakfast, Quinn and I headed to CrossFit while Mal got started on tiling the backsplash in our kitchen. (Thanks to everyone who weighed in on our options!)

At CrossFit, I did a fun partner workout with my friend Marisa. I made it to the front squats, no problem, but then scaled the weight to #35 just to be safe. I didn’t feel any pain in my back or hip, but there was definitely some weird pressure in the area, so I decided not to push it. The rest of the workout went fine, and I felt great!

After CrossFit, Quinn and I swung by Coffee Shack for an iced coffee and donut. He picked a chocolate-frosted with sprinkles! 🙂

We ran into some friends at Coffee Shack, so we hung out with them for a little while.

Then, it was off to Trader Joe’s to do our grocery shopping for the week. Quinn found “Larry the Lobster” and got a lollipop! 🙂

I found some Hi-Protein Veggie Burgers at Trader Joe’s that have good marcos, decent ingredients, and vegan, so I figured I’d share.

I had one with buffalo sauce yesterday afternoon as a snack, and they’re pretty tasty!

Back at home, the backsplash project was in full effect!

Both Mal and Quinn were starving, so I made everyone lunch in our crazy kitchen. After that, Quinn went down for his nap, so I headed into my office to work for a couple of hours.  When he woke up, Mal was still in the midst of backsplash madness, so I kept Qman occupied for the rest of the evening. We played all sorts of fun games, built epic blanket forts, and even baked a batch of cookies! 🙂

Stud Finder + paperclips was a huge hit!

Cookie recipe coming to CNC soon!

Today, Mal and one of his buddies are finishing off the backsplash. It was a much more complicated project than he intended, but it’s coming together and looking great. I’ll share photos of the final product with you guys soon!

One-Pan Barbecue Chicken

Ingredients:

  • 6 pieces of thick-cut bacon, chopped into bite-size pieces
  • 6 chicken thighs, approximately 1.5 pounds
  • 2 cups frozen chopped peppers and onions <— I used the fire-roasted ones from Trader Joe’s
  • 1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce

Directions:

  1. In a large skillet on medium-high heat, cook bacon pieces until browned.
  2. In the same skillet with the bacon, add the chicken thighs and cook on both sides until browned and cooked through.
  3. Add peppers, onions, and diced tomatoes and continue to cook until peppers and onions are warm and no longer frozen.
  4. Reduce heat to simmer and then stir in the barbecue sauce. Continue to simmer until sauce is heated through.
  5. Serve over rice, pasta, mashed potatoes, or your favorite veggies!

Makes 6 servings

Post-Workout Coffee Protein Shake

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

Here’s my Evernote review and all the great features you can use to make your thoughts, notes, and files easy to find, sort, and save.  This post is sponsored by Evernote .  Raise your hand if your digital life feels cluttered. If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
