Looks awesome Matt. You need a bigger spatula or a smaller pan. Lol

I'm also down to the barebones on the stuff you gave me.

It does look excellent my friend. Just be sure to eat all of it!!

Well, he said he wanted to eat healthier, and one of the first things towards healthy eating is portion control.  I also noticed how often he said "salt".

Old Bay, more salt, & then while cooking he added salt again.

It takes time, but if you work hard on cutting out all of the added salt (most foods have some salt in them already), with time, your taste buds will adjust and you can start noticing when foods are over-salted (restaurant dining).

While salt is a requirement, most people consume far more than is needed.
while you are young and healthy, this isn't much of a problem, but as you get older and your arteries get harder and your blood pressure increases, then excess salt becomes the enemy to long life.  the younger you can break your salt addiction, the healthier you will be.

Now, I do have the low sodium Old Bay!  Lol....

You're right, cutting salt out is key.  I season everything well, and should try to back off that some too.  Baby steps right now.  Hell, I did well not have a potato and bread last night.

Thanks @stemc33 !  I should have gotten a smaller spatula. 

If there's something you would like, just let me know and I'll ship you more.

Nice cook. That butter looks great. 

It was really tasty.  Will be doing that more often!  

I agree that the butter looks great.  The picture is particularly amazing and has my mouth watering.  I've got no control over compound butter, so I try to avoid it, particularly if I'm trying to eat healthy (which I'm doing now after a long period of anything goes).  Does it really add to the meal, taste, flavor to make up for what it adds in calories and fats?  Just asking, bc if it moves the needle that much, I have to wonder why I'm giving it up entirely.

@HendersonTRKing  I don't look at butter a a no-no.  When eating better, I go with a low carb, high protein and fiber diet.  Cutting carbs out at lunch is what I do and only eat good carbs is key too.  

Consequently, the butter is still a go on my routine.

Nice.  And that chicken looks awesome!   Did you close the lid when you weren't filming?  Did the meat pick up any lump flavor on that skillet?

I did close the lid some.  Smoke is very subtle, not a lot.  Plus I use Rockwood, which is a neutral lump anyway.
