Easy 6-Ingredient Paleo & Whole30 Chicken Stew

I had zero time to plan meals this past weekend.  I didn’t even get a chance to grocery shop. Our fridge is looking pi-ti-ful. Breakfast is covered, thanks to Larabars, Granny Smith apples and pre-sliced carrot chips with guacamole.  Lunch? That’s a whole different story. Since I work close to home and my husband works from home, we usually eat lunch together at our house. Unfortunately, none of the local restaurants are Paleo and Whole30-friendly, so eating out wasn’t an option either. I scrounged around in our understocked fridge for ideas. Luckily, I had some pre-cooked chicken breasts, and this Paleo and Whole30 Chicken Stew came to life in a jiffy!

This is such a quick and easy stew to make, it’s so tasty you’d never know it only calls for six ingredients (plus a little salt and pepper)! This is one of those recipes that you can certainly tweak to fit your needs. I just happened to have fresh carrots and broccoli in my fridge, so that’s what I used. The veggies aren’t set in stone. If I had celery, I would have added it too.

      I would say 4 at the most. We had larger servings since we weren’t having it with bread or any other sides.

      You can use uncooked chicken. Just make sure it reaches at least 165 degrees in the middle.

    Added additional spices and veggies and still thought it was very bland. I am a huge chicken soup person and am currently on whole 30.
