Chicken & Turkey

This is a great recipe to experiment with. Add more veggies, switch from farro to quinoa, add your own spice mix... be creative!

This dish has a fun spiciness to it. Add a small amount of quinoa or wild rice along with lots of veggies.

Lettuce leaves can be a great substitute for many things, including taco shells, burger buns, and tortillas. I would half the brown rice in this recipe, adding more beans or chickpeas if you like. Also, eliminate the taco chips and add a side dish of veggie sticks.

This is a great recipe for chicken. Make sure to trim all the fat and skin from the thighs. Also, while new potatoes have a lower glycemic index than regular potatoes substituting sweet potatoes would be even better. You can also substitute chicken breast for the thighs for a lower fat content.

Another great chicken recipe. Add quinoa and extra veggies and you have a complete meal.

Serve over black bean spaghetti (you can find this at Costco) rather than rice noodles.

I love the addition of pine nuts to this recipe - they're a great source of protein and healthy fats. Choose wild rice or quinoa rather than brown rice in the recipe. You can also substitute any color of pepper in the recipe. Note: You need to scroll down to find the recipe.
