Killer Quick Chicken!

This is one of the most popular recipes from the magazine Cooking Light. It is so flavorful and super quick (as in 22 mins or less quick)! My only warning to you besides this being addicting is that you need your hood fan on and open your oven a crack every few mins, because this gets smoky. Or better yet open some windows.
From Cooking Light

2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 ground fresh black pepper
8 skinless boneless chicken thighs, I buy the reg ones, and remove the skin and keep the bone in, much cheaper that way
oil in a spray bottle
6 tablespoon honey
2 teaspoons cider vinegar

Preheat the broiler to high and place the oven rack close to the top of the oven.
Combine first 6 things in a large bowl. Toss the thighs with the seasoning to coat. Place chicken on a broiler pan that has been covered in the oil spray. Broil the chicken for 10 mins, then flip the thighs and broil the other side 10 mins.
Combine the honey and vinegar in a small bowl, and brush the mixture on the the thighs, broil 2 more mins, then flip them and brush the other side and broil 2 more mins.

Nutella Cookies

MMMM Nutella...that is really all that needs to be said! These are a super quick and easy way to get a quick fix, they sort of taste like a brownie cookie. Don't over bake or they will crumble up. Enjoy

3/4 cup Nutella
1/4 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup sugar
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1 egg
kosher salt/ or flavored sea salt, such as Espresso Sea Salt...to sprinkle on top!!!

Preheat 350*
Place all the ingredients in a bowl and mix with a spoon or your hands, until well mixed. Roll into small balls and flatten by about half in your hand, to form a cookie shape. Place on a buttered baking sheet and bake for 7 mins. Remove to a cooling rack.
