So today I’ve got a super big treat for you guys — Sneak Peek recipe from Paleo Meal Planning on a Budget!
But before I dive into the deliciousness that is this recipe — I have some slightly sad news. The book release date for Paleo Meal Planning on a Budget has been delayed – it’s now December 29th {but we’re keeping our toes crossed that it gets to you guys a lot earlier!}. I’m really, really sorry about this but there was some issues with the printer and so it caused the book to be delayed a bit! I’ll keep you guys updated on any changes that might come up in between now and then! But as an upside you have a little bit longer to pre-order the book! So if you do email me and I’ll send you a thank you gift!
And now onto bigger and better news! Let’s talk about this recipe: It’s amazing, easy and cheap! What more can you ask for in a recipe right? Exactly! This is what I like to think of as one of my meal planning go-to recipes. It’s perfect to either plan in advance or it makes a stellar “I forgot to plan tonight’s dinner” recipe. Why? Because 91.248% of the time you’re going to have all the ingredients in your freezer or fridge and you can whip this up in less than a half hour and wow anyone without breaking the bank or a sweat. So let’s label this your new favorite clutch recipe.
Flavor wise? I love the balance of broccoli and chicken and lemon — it gives it an upscale look and feeling all while being a comforting meal at the same time. Talk about an epic win! And – I think this would be a great meal to make just for yourself one night or to serve as a meal to friends + family! My favorite part is that you can serve this with literally anything.
It works well with:
• Rice
• Mashed Sweet Potato
• Zucchini Noodles
• Cauliflower Rice
• Spaghetti Squash
• And especially …. On it’s own
Not to mention this makes for some stellar leftovers! I’m not even kidding — just eating it for lunch the next day rocks. But it’s also ridiculously good in scrambled eggs or an omelet! Which is why this is just another reason why this is one of my favorite recipes from the book!
Here’s a Pro Tip for the recipe: Keep some steam fresh broccoli bags stored in the freezer – that way if you already have some precooked leftover chicken you can literally make this recipe in under 15 minutes by just heating the chicken and broccoli and quickly cooking the onion + mushroom and combing it all!
