Cook chicken about three to 4 minutes on each side until it starts to brown.  Add a sprinkle of garlic powder to each chicken breast.Add the jar of sun-dried tomatoes in oil to the pan and simmer for about 12 minutes. Add the can/jar of artichokes and cover and simmer for another 12 or so minutes. This dish can sit on warm heat for a while if need be.

PALEO CHICKEN FAJITAS AND GUACAMOLE
GUACAMOLE (recipe courtesy of Alton Brown on foodnetwork.com):

  • 3 Haas avocados, halved, seeded & peeled
  • 1 Lime, juiced
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Sea Salt
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Ground Cumin
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Cayenne
  • 1/2 medium Onion, diced (we use yellow)
  • 2 Roma Tomatoes, seeded & diced
  • 1 Tablespoon Chopped Fresh Cilantro
  • 1 clove Garlic, minced
In a large bowl, place the scooped avocado pulp and lime juice. Toss to coat. Add the Salt, Cumin, and Cayenne and mash using a potato masher (or handy avocado tool). Then, fold in the Onions, Tomatoes, Cilantro, and Garlic. Let sit at room temperature for 1 hour and then serve.

CHICKEN FAJITAS:

  • 1 lb. Scavenger Chicken Breasts (or the best you can get your hands on)
  • 2 Bell Peppers (any color you like! Green, Orange, Red, Yellow…)
  • 1/2 Red Onion
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1/4 Cup Water
  • Fajita Seasoning (we’re currently using McCormick’s Fajitas Seasoning Mix, but one day I’ll be making one from scratch – I’ll be sure to let you know when I do! (The packaged mixes usually have corn starch & other things you don’t really need)
In a bowl, mix the 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil, 1/4 Cup Water, and Fajita Seasoning of your choice. Cut chicken up into small pieces or strips (we generally do a two-bite size), and mix into bowl. Make sure the chicken is well-coated, and place in the fridge for at least 20 minutes to marinate.

Cut the 2 Bell Peppers and 1/2 Red Onion into slightly chunky strips (or have your spouse do it, like me!) Set aside.Heat skillet to medium or medium-high heat. Once warmed, add a touch of Olive Oil or Coconut Oil (you just need a tiny bit since the chicken mixture has some oil in it already). Cook the chicken for about 2 minutes, stirring often. Add the chopped peppers & onion and continue to cook for about 8 minutes.Remove from heat, add the homemade Guacamole, and enjoy! The guacamole counts as your healthy fat, so this is one complete Paleo meal :)

Paleo Chocolate Pudding

2 ripe avocados
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/2 cup honey
2 tablespoon coconut oil
1 tsp vanilla extract

Whip it all up in a food processor, spoon into some small bowls (it's very thick - like it should be..), and top with a little coconut whipped cream, berries, and some dark chocolate shavings. Really, it's fantastic.

Coconut Butter Bars

1/2 Cup pecans
6 pitted dates
1 Tablespoon cocoa powder
2 Tablespoons coconut butter
2 Tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut (in bulk at WF)

Put it all in your food processor. Shape into bars and coat with more coconut. It only makes 7 - U may want to scale it up!

Paleo Cacao Nib Cookies

1 C Almond Flour
2/3 C Shredded Coconut
1 1/2 Tablespoons coconut oil
1/2 Cup Almond Butter
1 C Coco Nibs
1/3 Coconut Flour
1 Tablespoon vanilla
1 Egg
2 Tablespoon Cocoa Powder
1/2 Cup Honey or Agave
* Note - you may be tempted to skip the coconut flour. Don't. It really does something for them. U can buy it at Whole Foods. U can skip the cocoa powder for a less chocolately taste. Either way, the nibs give them a crunchy chocolately taste that's awesome.
Spoon more or less round blobs onto a cookie sheet - round is better than flat cuz the inside stays a little chewy.
Cook for about 9 minutes at 350. Makes about 24 -each with 10gm C, 9 gm F, and 4 gm P. Enjoy!

Pumpkin Paleo Pancakes - (2)5 block meals (approx 35 gm P, 45 gm C, 45 gm F /person)

1/4 tsp vanilla

2 tablespoon real maple syrup - topping

Coconut oil - for the pan

12 extra egg whites to bring the protein up 35 gms/person
~ 4 oz of berries to bring the carbs up to ~45 gms/person

Mix everything up real good - sometimes that nut butter is clumpy - and make pancakes as usual (except you're gonna use the coconut oil in the pan) and add the pecans and maple syrup at the end.
