Slow cooker shredded chicken

Making dishes in a slow cooker is so easy. You just put everything in and let it do it's thing while you go ahead with your day as usual. You barely have to check it during the time at all. And the result for this dish was great; so happy with it. Thank you LivingLovingPaleo!

Ingredients

serves 3-4

about 900 g boneless, skinless chicken thighs

1 medium onion, diced

1 capsicum, diced

2 medium tomatoes, diced (about 240 ml)

6 garlic cloves, crushed

3 tbsp chili powder

2 tbsp cumin

1 tsp paprika

½ tsp garlic powder

¼ tsp cayenne pepper

2 tsp salt

2 tsp pepper

Add all of the ingredients to your slow cooker and stir well. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. Shred the chicken with two forks.

I served ours with some sweet potato chips, coleslaw, cucumber, guacamole and ranch dressing.

Paleo taco pie

This is my second attempt to make this pie. The recipe is from undervarttak.blogspot.se but last time I thought it was a bit too wet so I made some adjustments and this time it turned out much better. I think this is definitely one of my new favourites; so much flavour and really easy to make.

Ingredients
serves 4-6
300 ml almond flour
50 ml sesame seeds
2 tbsp psyllium
1 tsp sea salt
40 g butter
1 egg

1 onion, diced
500 g mince meat
1 serve of taco seasoning
50 ml water
butter to fry in

3 eggs
100 ml coconut milk
150 ml salsa

Capsicum for decoration

Preheat the oven to 175 degrees Celsius.
Mix the almond flour and sesame seeds in a food processor, using the knife blade. Add psyllium, salt, butter and egg. Mix again until it forms a dough. Press out the dough in a pie dish. Prick with a fork and pre-bake for about 10 minutes until it's golden brown.
Heat up a frying pan and once hot, fry the onion in some butter. Fry for a few minutes until it's softened slightly. Add the mince meat and let it get slightly brown. Add the taco seasoning and mix it around. Add the water and let it simmer together for a few minutes. Put the mince meat in the pie crust. Whisk together the eggs and the coconut milk. Add the salsa and mix in. Pour the egg mixture over the mince meat and decorate with the capsicum. Bake in the oven for about 25 minutes until the pie has got a nice golden colour.

Chicken fajitas

We're moving in about a week now so I'm trying to empty the freezer. I found this super easy chicken fajitas recipe and it turned out to be really tasty.

Ingredients
serves 2-3
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp sea salt (optional)
500 g boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into strips
1 tbsp coconut oil
½ red onion, sliced
2 red capsicums, sliced
juice of 1 lemon
juice of 1 lime

In  a bowl, combine garlic, cumin, oregano, chili powder, and salt. Toss chicken in mixture until fully coated and set aside.
Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. When pan is hot, add the coconut oil.
Saute the onion for 3 minutes, add chicken and continue to cook until chicken is almost fully cooked (about 10-15 minutes), stirring often.
Just before chicken is done, add the capsicum, lemon and lime juice. Stir and cook for 3 more minutes.
Serve with a salad and top with guacamole.

Naked burrito

I found this recipe on an Australian Paleo website. I won't write the recipe as I followed it from point to point and it's so well written. It was really delicious and perfect for a Wednesday night and a good alternative for your weekly Friday night taco dinners. So here it is: Mexican Naked Burrito
