Near the top of my list for quick, easy, and tasty low carbohydrate delights is Roasted Chicken Thighs & Spaghetti Squash with a side of steamed fresh green beans. I prefer using bone-in/skin-on thighs as they produce the moistest results. Even if you're a breast white meat fan you'll really enjoy the full flavor profile of a perfectly roasted dark meat chicken thigh.

  • Trim excess skin and fat from the back and under the skin.
  • Rub Extra Virgin Olive Oil under and on the skin.
  • Lightly season under and on the skin with Montreal Chicken seasoning & Fagundes or your favorite poultry seasoning.
  • Wrap the chicken in plastic wrap and fridge for 4 hours.
  • Carefully cut the spaghetti squash lengthwise with a large heavy butcher knife.
  • Spoon/scrape out the seeds and stringy fibers from the center of each half.
  • Drizzle and rub Extra Virgin Olive Oil onto the squash.
  • Season the squash with salt & pepper.

Preheat your MAK 2 Star or Green Mountain Grill Davy Crockett to 375ºF with any Gourmet BBQ Pellets on hand turning your wood pellet smoker-grill into a very efficient convection oven. Insert spaghetti squash and roast for 30 minutes before inserting the chicken thighs. Roast for an additional 45 to 60 minutes until the Internal Temperature of the chicken thighs reach 180ºF or above. Rest the chicken under a loose foil tent for 15 minutes. Serve the roasted chicken thighs and spaghetti squash with a side of steamed fresh green beans.

If you're watching your carbohydrates or you want a refreshing change to traditional pasta then may I suggest that you try some spiral sliced zucchini squash noodles topped with a simple but delicious Smoked Chicken Alfredo. I often cruise the internet for new and healthy ideas for our dinner table. Having been told to watch my carbs I kept running into Paleo zucchini noodle recipes. As we enjoy zucchini squash I decided to give these noodles a shot.

I didn't realize that there are so many spiral vegetable slicers each with their own range of versatility and prices to match. I opted for the hand held [easyazon_link keywords="Zoodle slicer" locale="US" tag="ftd-20"]Zoodle Slicer[/easyazon_link] as my supplementary tool for it's simplicity of use and reasonable price on Amazon.

Spiral slice 3 to 5 medium zucchini squash into a colander. Lightly salt and toss the spiraled zucchini and allow it to sit in a sink or on paper towel for 15 to 20 minutes. Wrap the zucchini in paper towels and gently squeeze to remove remaining moisture.

While the noodles are draining, mix leftover hickory smoked chicken with sauteed celery/onion/mushrooms and a jar of your favorite Alfredo sauce. Seasoned with granulated garlic/salt/pepper to taste and simmered for 15 minutes ... I did say that the smoked chicken Alfredo was simple ... yet delicious!

Fry the zucchini noodles in 2 tbsp of [easyazon_link keywords="california olive ranch" locale="US" tag="ftd-20"]Roasted Garlic EVOO[/easyazon_link] over medium/high heat for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the noodles are al dente (firm to the bite) or softer.

Immediately serve the fried spiraled zucchini noodles topped with a portion of smoked chicken Alfredo. I think you'll enjoy my version of a low carb Paleo recipe. Discovered that the fried noodles are delicious on their own and would be great as a side dish.
