Mini Paleo Challenge: Day 1

Zack and I are doing a mini-paleo challenge during the month of September. I'm going to try to keep the blog updated with what we're eating and the corresponding recipes. Thankfully, we chose a short month!

The photo above is for Chicken Paprikash. I adapted this recipe from one that I found on the Cosmopolitan Primal Girl website, and it was a big hit!

Ingredients:
4 boneless skinless chicken thighs – cut into 1/2 inch strips
1 medium yellow onion – sliced
2 red cayenne peppers – chopped
1 large garlic clove - chopped
2 Tbsp olive oil
3 tsp paprika
1 tsp chili powder
4 Tbsp coconut milk
1 Tbsp coconut flour
1 Cup chicken broth1 Tbsp fresh basil

Directions:
Heat 1/2 of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for about 5 minutes until there is no more pink. Then remove and set aside.

In the same skillet, add the rest of the olive oil. Add onions, garlic, paprika and chili powder. Cook for about 3-5 minutes until onions have softened.

Add coconut flour and broth. Stir it around and bring it to a simmer. Add the cayenne pepper. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the peppers are softened. About 5 min.

Add back the chicken and coconut milk. Continue to cook and stir until chicken is fully cooked and sauce is creamy. About 2 minutes.

Top with fresh basil and serve
