It doesnt have to be boring

The past 3 months I've learned a lot about what I've been putting into my body but that doesn't mean I still don't have those days where I just completely fall off the wagon. I mean really don't we all get tired of the same boring chicken&veggies. I've noticed that when I'm not prepared or I get bored with what I'm eating I tend to make BAD food choices and then I even go to the extreme of convincing myself it will be OK because I can just work out really hard the next day. That's why I intend to show people with this blog that eating healthy does not have to be boring, cooking doesn't have to be boring. When I cook something that I know taste good and is healthy I get excited about eating it especially after a hard workout. This week I'll be posting some hardy fall recipes, anyone who knows me knows that this is my favorite time of year. Tonight I made a paleo white chicken chili with spinach&baby kale.

3 boneless skinless free range chicken breast

1tbs coconut oil

1 large onion diced

1 bell pepper seeded and chopped

1-2 jalapenos

4 cloves garlic

2 tsp salt

1 tbs ground cumin

1 tsp ground coriander

4 cups free range chicken broth

1-2 7oz green chiles

3 tb thick coconut milk

3tb arrowroot

1. Chop the chicken and veggies. Then place a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the oil, onions, peppers, jalapeno, and garlic.
2. Saute for 5 minutes, then add the chicken, salt and spices. Saute another 5-8 minutes, until the chicken is nearly cooked through. Add the broth, green chiles, and coconut milk. Whisk in the arrowroot powder and bring to a boil.
3. Lower the heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Then take a potato masher (or ladle) and smash the chicken pieces to shreds. Serve topped with green onions,cilantro,baby kale, and spinach.

I hope you enjoy this recipe I sure did!
