Instant Pot White Chicken Chili
February 15, 2018 by 9 Comments
This white chicken chili is packed full of green chilies and chicken thighs. It creates a generous 12 cup batch that is sure to leave some delicious leftovers. A fun alternative to traditional beef chilies. It's simple to cook, and fast to cleanup, if you use your Instant Pot. If you don't own an Instant Pot then you could brown the chicken and onions on a stovetop, then simmer the chili in a slow cooker for 6-8 hours. It's a bit protein heavy, so just keep that in mind when planning ...

Caprese Chicken Thighs
February 6, 2018 by Leave a Comment
Pan seared chicken thighs are smeared with a hearty pesto sauce, then topped with thinly sliced tomato and bubbly mozzarella cheese. Serve these with zucchini ribbons or our eggplant based monkey breads. Any time I've ever tried caprese style chicken it was made with chicken breasts, which too easily turn dry. With the chicken thighs you don't have to worry about that, these come out tender and juicy. The toppings are really just a bonus. When I calculated the nutrition I left in all ...

Sesame Almond Zoodle Bowl
January 11, 2018 by 1 Comment
The sesame almond zoodle bowl is the perfect vehicle for this amazing sauce. Peanut sauce has been one of my favorite dipping and drizzling sauces for everything from low carb egg rolls to an overflowing bowl of stir fry veggies. Sadly, I’ve recently begun reducing my peanut intake. I’ve been focusing on more recipes that incorporate keto friendly nuts and nut butters like cashews and almonds and I have fallen in love! Swapping traditional peanut butter with almond butter for this sweet ...
