5 Minute Prep Chicken Thighs
Great high protein meal for those with little time for cooking. Layer this over pasta or rice for a deliciously perfect dinner. This is a recipe caught on TikTok. I had to give it a try.

Of course the first meal I made was linguica with eggs, and I’d just had the best

Chuck roast is my brisket substitute. It’s cheaper, often on sale and plentiful at our local grocer’s. I find chuck roast requires shorter cooking time vs brisket of the same weight.
