Moms Meet & Kiwi Magazine recently sent me a copy of their new cookbook, Allergy-Friendly Food for Families to review. I’m always on the lookout for fun, delicious new recipes so even though we are lucky enough not to have any food allergies, I was happy to take a look through their new cookbook. And I found a lot of recipes I’d love to try, but their recipe for easy lemon chicken really sounded quite delightful. So, I gave it a whirl – but first, I turned it into a crockpot recipe and the chicken literally fell off the bone after my beloved crockpot slaved all day to make me effortless dinner! YUM!!
Easy Lemon Chicken for the Crockpot
- 2 TBS oil
- 2 cloves garlic, pressed through a garlic press
- 2 tsp chopped fresh lemon thyme or regular thyme
- 1 1/2 pounds chicken thighs (and or legs) ~ I used about 3 lbs of leg quarters
- 1 pound new potatoes or baby Dutch yellow potatoes, halved ~ I used 1.5 pounds new tri-colored potatoes (purple, yellow, white)
- 1 – 12 ounce baby baby carrots ~ I used 1 lb regular carrots, sliced to about the size of baby carrots
- 1 lemon, cut into 4 wedges
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Combine the oil, garlic, thyme in a small bowl.
- Place the chicken on one side of 9×13 baking dish. Place the potatoes, carrots, lemons on the other side.
- Drizzle the oil mixture over the chicken and veggies and toss well to coat.
- Turn chicken skin side up. Sprinkle with salt & pepper.
- Roast, uncovered, for 45-50 minutes, until the chicken’s internal temperature reaches 165 degrees, stirring the veggies and lemon wedges once or twice. Remove the veggies and lemon wedges if they are tender and golden-brown before the chicken is fully cooked.
- {Or, you can cook in a crockpot on low, 6-8 hours.}
- To serve, allow the lemon wedges to cool slightly, then squeeze them over the chicken and veggies.
just heard a story on NPR about online K-12 schools. i am wary of the quality of these schools
Let’s see, dairy, wheat, barley, oats, shellfish and mushrooms!
This sounds like a great cookbook. 🙂
I’m looking for more recipes without those allergens. Even though I’ve taken Kevin for treatment, he’s had occasional flareups so I am always looking for easy recipes that don’t include gluten, dairy or egg. Plus I’m eating paleo and many of these allergen-free recipes can be easily converted to paleo-friendly. 🙂
I would be very interested in having this cookbook. Thanks for offering it to one of us!
Sounds DELICIOUS! Can’t wait to try it in my crockpot! (Love crockpot recipes!) Thanks so much! 🙂 <3
Love this. My daughter is dairy free, and I convert a ton of recipes on my own, but I’m always looking for new inspirations!
I am gluten free in my house and my Grandma is dairy free
We’re an interesting mix in my family. I’m vegetarian, my hubby is a full on carnivore. We also have a picky four year old and the one year old, who wants to eat everything, including her brother’s toys :). I’m finding it a little difficult to meet every person’s needs and would love some new, healthy recipe options.
My son is dairy allergic.
gluten free
Soy and whole wheat!
Would love a chance to win this cookbook.
Shellfish!
My husband avoids walnuts, and I avoid anything overly spicy (as much as I love it) because my breastfeeding babe doesn’t cope too well!
My oldest daughter has multiple allergies. It was difficult at first, but in the long run, it has made us all a lot healthier, and it has forced me to be a lot more creative in the kitchen. I would love to win this cookbook so that I can have some fresh recipes!
I collect cookbooks and entertain frequently. We have lots of friends whose children are on special diets due to allergies so this would be of great help. Thanks for the opportunity!
We try to be low salt for gma.
milk
i have a gluten sensitivity and am lactose intolerant.
while breastfeeding, I have to avoid, milk, cheese, yogurt for my daughters sake, and our sanity!
I am trying to avoid white flour.
i have to avoid extra fluids, sodium, and potassium because of kidney failure
My daughter can’t eat tomatoes
I think I’m allergic to some sort of preservative or something. I’m trying to figure it out myself but I don’t want to go through allergy testing. My tongue hurts and swells up. Not good. I thought maybe it was mango but I’m rethinking that. kristiedonelson(at)gmail(dot)com Thank you.
I’m allergic to raw tomatoes.
