One-Pan Jamaican Jerk Chicken & “Rice” – Easy Keto Dinners Review
Easy to make One-Pan Jamaican Jerk Chicken & “Rice” from Easy Keto Dinners by Carolyn Ketchum! Keto, Low-carb, Gluten-free, Dairy-free, THM-S
(Some links in this post are affiliate links which means I earn a percentage, at no cost to you, when you purchase. See my disclosure policy here.) *I did receive this Easy Keto Dinner Cookbook for free. All views are my own!
This easy to make dinner recipe is from Carolyn Ketchum’s brand new cookbook Easy Keto Dinners! It’s coming out in just a few days and is available for pre-order now!
I’ve been having so much fun looking through this cookbook and trying to decide what I wanted to make first!
Carolyn was so kind to let me share one of her recipes with you!
I decided to go with Jamaican Jerk Chicken & “Rice” because I used to use a store-bought Jamaican Jerk marinade for my chicken before our family went gluten free. And I hadn’t tried to recreate that flavor so I was excited to try Carolyn’s recipe for the Jamaican Jerk seasoning!
I loved that this recipe was easy to make and I used only one pan! To make prep time even easier I used frozen diced onions and frozen riced cauliflower.
All the recipes in Carolyn’s new cookbook look to be very easy to make and look so good – there’s a picture for every recipe! A few of the other recipes I’m looking forward to trying are Buffalo Chicken Chowder, French Onion Pot Roast, and Bacon Sloppy Joes.
About half of the recipes in Easy Keto Dinners are dairy free! That’s really important for me as my family and cow-dairy just don’t get along well.
When I shared this with my daughter, she loved it and wanted to know where the recipe was because she didn’t want to ever lose it! She also told me she wanted to have this weekly! Well, okay then! We gave this recipe and the whole book a 2 thumbs up!

Ingredients
Jerk Seasoning
1 1/2 teaspoons erythritol

3/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley

Lime wedges, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375° F.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the ingredients for the jerk seasoning. Rub the seasoning blend all over the chicken.

Easy Homemade Hamburger Helper Italian & Taco (Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free)
Easy to make homemade hamburger helper made two ways! Italian and Taco! Both are one-pot dinners, gluten-free, and dairy-free! On plan with Trim Healthy Mama!
(Some links in this post are affiliate links which means I earn a percentage, at no cost to you, when you purchase. See my disclosure policy here.)
Years ago, I would use a lot of boxed mixes. They were easy and there was usually coupons for them making this type of meal very inexpensive.
One day when I was having my daughters help me with supper I told them to just read the box to know how to make it. It hit me that day, that I needed to teach them more about cooking with real ingredients and not just purchased mixes.
Later when we had to switch to eating gluten and dairy free it was a blessing that we had already begun cooking with whole foods as it made the transition easier. Don’t get me wrong, it was still hard, but I think overall it helped that transition to make more sense.
These two easy homemade hamburger helper variations are so easy to make! Yes, it does called for a couple of packaged short cuts, but they are still healthy options to make supper come together quickly and inexpensively!
One ingredient you might not be used to using is nutritional yeast. It’s fairly inexpensive and gives food a wonderful cheesy flavor. I use it in a lot of my recipes. It’s also a good source of B vitamins.

Air Fryer Gluten-Free Chocolate Lava Cake

This quick and easy single serve gluten-free chocolate lava cake may not look too exciting when it first comes out of the air fryer, but be assured there’s lots of yumminess just under the surface! If you don’t have an air fryer this could also be baked in an oven. I love being able to use the air fryer for single serve desserts like this one and not have to heat up the big oven, though. I use an Avalon Bay Air Fryer, it’s simple to use, is reasonably priced, and has great reviews on Amazon. And yes, you could use a microwave in even shorter amount of time, but I haven’t had one for years and I like how the air fryer bakes this cake.
Here we go dipping into the center to get to all that ooey-gooey, chocolatey goodness.
There it is! Chocolatey yumminess!
Just look at that, it’s so satisfying and yummy!
For this blog post, I mixed the cake batter in a different bowl and then poured it into the two-cup glass Pyrex dish, that way the sides would be clean for the pictures, but I normally mix it right in the dish that I’m baking it in.

The first time I made this cake it was deep in the middle of winter and it was so delightful to taste a burst of lemon in this cake! It brought some sunshine right into the kitchen!
Tips and tricks for making Gluten-Free Lemon Cake:
- I used 9″ round cake pans for this cake. If you want the cake to be a little taller you may want to use 8″ pans.
- You could easily switch this recipe to cupcakes and bake them around 20-25 minutes.
- If you do not need it to be dairy free, use your favorite frosting recipe and add in the lemon extract.
- The frosting calls for your sweetener to be powdered. You can easily do this by putting your sweetener in a blender or coffee grinder and blend until powdered.
- The palm shortening that I use is Spectrum Organic Shortening. You may be able to find it cheaper at your local grocery store.
