- ROTISSERIE CHICKEN: (make sure no added hormones/natural)- perfect with a side such as a baked potato, brown or wild rice and/or small salad 

      *LEFTOVER IDEAS- make CHICKEN SALAD (shred chicken, add chopped celery & carrots, small amount of mayo, salt and pepper. Great for sandwiches, wraps, or scooping with crackers), QUESADILLAS- spread small amount of avocado oil or ghee on one side of wrap, flip and then spread salsa, chicken, Mexican cheese and taco seasoning. fold wrap and heat up on pan until crispy. If you're super hungry, just use 2 wraps, leave them both flat and put one on top of the other.

CHICKEN (or make it grassfed beef) NACHOS- spread tortilla chips on a plate (SIETE BRAND IS BEST!!! The "dip chips" if available), put chopped chicken on top, sprinkle taco seasoning, Mexican cheese, zap in microwave. Add salsa and guac if preferred.

CHICKEN SOUP- Bone broth, boil chopped carrots, celery & onion, add chicken & small amount of pasta (optional)

 

- ROASTED VEGGIES: When you roast veggies in the oven, they actually have a completely different flavor... try broccoli, cauliflower, potatoes (cut in cubes) or kale. Toss in avocado (or olive) oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Roast in the oven at about 375 until it looks toasty. This could take up to 45 mins for the broccoli/cauliflower. Sprinkle some more salt on top. It's the perfect healthy side dish.

 

ENJOY!
