A very healthy, very paleo feast for all you wanna-be cavemen and cavewomen out there. My first endeavor into the world of recipe blogging. no extra carbs on the side) on a low-carb day as it’s a little high in fat so avoiding carbs will help you to avoid wearing them later □. I personally would have this, as is (i.e. Packed with high quality protein and the fat is saturated (which is not “bad” as it has been demonized to be over the years) and a lot of it consists of medium-chain triglycerides from the coconut milk, which are easily metabolized for energy. On top of that it’s bursting with antioxidants and phytonutrients from the mini vegetable garden we chopped up at the start. If you tend to get a little OCD about food I recommend staying away from this site, it’s got soooo much information.Įach portion of cave-chicken casserole contains approximately: I used the USDA Nutrient Database to help me calculate the nutrient values for this meal. The chicken served with the veggies is a meal in itself but if you feel the necessity for extra carbs, it goes great with roasted sweet potato.įor those of you who at this stage are probably going bonkers due to me not mentioning the exact quantities of my ingredients, here the list (people like lists): Oh yeah, that’s the money shot right there.Īs you can see, all the coconut-tomat0 mix has sunk down to the vegetables and mixed with the juices from the chicken meat and bones to make a sauce that would bring a tear to a caveman’s eye. Cut up some carrots into bite-sized chunks. This made 9 portions, so it fed everyone for dinner and had plenty of leftovers for lunch the next day (because I’m lazy and didn’t want to cook again). The recipe is at the end but the pictures will give you an idea of how it all comes together. I might play around with the spices but that would be for a different taste experience. There is no need to add non-paleo ingredients to it because it is just THAT good. I call this recipe “Paleo” because it fits in with the guidelines of some famous diet, but the truth is that this is just a healthy and importantly, delicious meal. It’s that good!Īnd I think that’s the important thing about this. It also taste’s like what the God’s of Mount Olympus eat every Tuesday night… you know, the night they all make sure they’re home early so they can get an extra large helping of this awesomeness.

(I really enjoyed writing that last paragraph □ ) With last week’s article on the Paleo Diet still fresh in my mind, and with the necessity of having to feed my family (Mam, Dad and four hungry Man-boys) for dinner, I set about rustling up a Paleo-Chicken caserole that would make any prehistoric foodie whip out his iPhone and Instagram the s#!t out of that foodgasm (I’m not sure if “foodgasm” is an appropriate word to use but I really think it’s the word a prehistoric hunter-gatherer would whisper, with his eyes closed in ecstasy, upon tasting this paleo-poultry. I was however left with a hankering for some chicken… just not the deep-fried, fast food, could possibly be a bat, kind of chicken.
