A hearty and flavorful dish featuring juicy pan-seared chicken breasts served alongside crispy baked potatoes and tender beans.

Ingredients: 2 big chicken breasts. 4 large potatoes. 1 can of beans. Salt and pepper to taste. 2 tablespoons olive oil. 1 teaspoon paprika. 1 teaspoon garlic powder. 1 teaspoon dried thyme. 1 teaspoon dried rosemary. 1 teaspoon dried parsley.

Instructions: Turn on the oven and heat it up to 400F 200C. Make sure to wash and scrub the potatoes well. Make wedges out of them. Wash and drain the beans. Add a lot of salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, thyme, rosemary, and parsley to the chicken breasts. In a big pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. The chicken breasts should be added to the pan once the oil is hot. Cook each side for 5 to 6 minutes until it turns golden brown and is fully cooked. Put the potato wedges on a baking sheet while the chicken is cooking. Put some olive oil on top and salt and pepper on top of that. Put it in an oven that is already hot and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until it is golden brown and crispy. Add the beans to the baking sheet with the potatoes and toss to mix in the last 10 minutes of baking. Bring it back to the oven and bake for one more minute. When the chicken is done, take it out of the pan and let it rest for a few minutes. Then, cut it into pieces. Put the baked potatoes and beans next to the pan-seared chicken. Have fun!

Enjoy a smoky twist on the classic blooming onion with this grilled version. The smoker infuses rich flavors into the onion while the crispy coating adds a delightful crunch.

Ingredients: 1 large sweet onion. 1 cup all-purpose flour. 1 cup buttermilk. 1 teaspoon paprika. 1 teaspoon garlic powder. 1 teaspoon salt. 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Oil for grilling.

Instructions: Set the smoker's temperature to 375F 190C. Remove the onion's top and peel it, making sure the root stays whole. Cut the onion vertically, about 1/2 inch apart; do not cut through the root. Combine the flour, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and salt in a bowl. Make sure the flour mixture gets into the cuts on the onion by dipping it into the buttermilk first. Transfer the coated onion to a grill pan and brush with oil. After transferring the grill pan to the smoker, preheat it and cook it for 45 to 60 minutes, or until it becomes crispy and golden brown. For even grilling, turn the onion halfway through the cooking process. When finished, take it out of the smoker and give it a few minutes to cool before serving.
