Low Carb Recipe Monday – Paleo Chicken Casserole

January 19, 2015 by Adria Ali Leave a Comment

 

Eating low carb isn’t easy.   Having the right recipes is the best way to keep yourself on track and eating healthy.   For 90% of my clients, eating low carb is the hardest but most rewarding thing they can do to get results the fastest.  This recipe is paleo, low carb, gluten free, and dairy free.   It has the ability to help those with allergies still eat healthy while keeping their allergies in check.

Paleo Chicken Casserole
Recipe adapted from HeandSheEats.com 

Ingredients:
2 c cooked shredded chicken
1.5 c butternut squash, peeled and cubed.  You can also opt for spaghetti squash since it may be easier to prepare.
1/2 c coconut cream (skimmed off of the top of a can of coconut milk)

* I’m allergic to coconut so I use a rice milk cream that I make myself

– Mix 1 cup of low carb (unsweetened) rice milk with 2 – 3 pinches of xantham gum (you can find this at health food stores).  Heat to a boil then simmer for 5 mins.  It will thicken as it cools.  Add a teaspoon of oil to give it a creamy texture.

2 Tbsp earth balance (olive oil), melted or coconut oil
1.25 c green peas (if using frozen, thaw prior to adding to recipe)
1 TBSP apple cider vinegar
1 tsp sea salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp thyme
1/2 tsp onion powder

 

Fitness Tips:  Since I am allergic all things nut and dairy, I use this “butter” to flavor recipes and dishes.   It’s dairy free, soy free, and nut free.  It works well in every recipe.  From cookies, to sauces, to everything dairy free!

Directions for Paleo Chicken Casserole
1. Prepare chicken by boiling  for 14 – 20 minutes depending upon the size of your chicken breasts.  Remove from heat, let the chicken cool enough so you can shred it.
2. Meanwhile, soften cubed and peeled butternut squash in a large pot of boiling water for approximately 40 minutes. Remove butternut squash from pot using a strainer and place in a large bowl. Using a potato masher, mash butternut squash to a smooth, but somewhat chunky texture.
  – If you using spaghetti squash, throw it in the microwave for 3 -4 minutes.  Allow it to cool for a little bit then slice it in half and place it on a baking sheet face up.  You can add a touch of water to allow it to cook / steam faster.   Bake it for 30 – 40 minutes at 375 degrees.
2. Add apple cider vinegar, sea salt, garlic powder, black pepper, oregano, thyme and onion powder to the mashed butternut squash or shredded spaghetti squash and stir to combine.
3. Add coconut creme (or rice cream) and oil, stirring to combine.
4. Stir in coconut oil (or earth balance), coconut creme (or rice cream), shredded chicken and green peas.
5. Place mixture in a large skillet and cook for approximately 8-10 minutes on medium heat.
Recipe makes 4 servings.
This paleo recipe can be made with or without the original ingredients.  I made some alterations based on my own needs, but if you aren’t allergic to coconut, feel free to keep it in it’s original form.  If you love this gluten free, dairy free recipe, feel free to post it to your pinterest or your facebook.
Living Lean,
Adria
