This White Chicken Chili recipe is wholesome, creamy, and delicious! The creaminess comes from blended chickpeas rather than a dairy source used in many other creamy soup recipes. This one is completely dairy and gluten-free! I've included both a stove top option (for those looking for a quick weeknight dinner) and a slow cooker option (for those who have more time or use their weekends to meal prep). Enjoy! INGREDIENTS: 3 c. shredded, cooked chicken breast 1/2 tbsp. olive oil 1 white onion, diced 1 can mild green chiles 1 tbsp. cumin 2 tsp. chili powder 1/4 tsp. coriander 1/4 tsp. oregano 4 c. chicken broth 2 (15oz.) cans chickpeas, rinsed and drained 1/2 c. water 3/4 tsp. salt, plus more
This cold winter weather makes warm oats appeal to me so much more! There's something about having a stomach full of warm oats that just feels like a giant hug to me. Think of these proats like a healthy spin on PB&J. They're packed with protein (mainly from the egg whites), but also full of fiber. Fiber aids greatly in digestion and is especially great to incorporate into your diet if you're trying to lose weight. It also helps you feel and stay full. Enjoy! INGREDIENTS: 1/2 c. rolled oats 1/2 c. unsweetened almond milk 1/3 c. water 6 large, fresh strawberries, chopped 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract 1 pinch salt 1/3 c. liquid egg whites (or 3 large egg whites) 1 tbsp. peanut butter (be sure to c
Bacon makes everything better, am I right?! I eat bacon with my eggs, with veggies, in casseroles, on salads, and just straight up! I've done a lot of research on this (by research I mean eating A LOT of bacon over the years) and this is by far the easiest way to cook bacon! I learned of it awhile back, but only recently embraced it and let me tell you: I am never turning back! No more grease all over the stove, no more burns on my wrist, and best of all: you can cook large amounts in a fraction of the time! Hope you enjoy! INGREDIENTS: 12 oz. package of bacon (my favorite is Applegate Farms brand; it's uncured and sugar-free) Foil or parchment paper (not wax paper!) INSTRUCTIONS: Preheat t
Salmon has become one of my favorite protein sources! It is a highly nutritious fish and due to it's high (unsaturated) fat content, it doesn't dry out easily! The Omega-3 fats in it help reduce inflammation in our bodies and one 4 oz. serving of salmon contains your entire day's requirement of Vitamin D! I try to work salmon into our family's meal plan at least once a week. This recipe details one of my favorite ways to prepare it. It's light and fresh and super simple. It's also Keto, Whole30, and Paleo-friendly. Hope you enjoy! INGREDIENTS: 16 oz. salmon 1 tsp. minced garlic 2 tbsp. olive oil 1/2 tsp. paprika 1 avocado 1/4 red onion, diced 1 tbsp. fresh cilantro 1 tbsp. lime juice salt
