Chicken & Leek with garlic mushrooms.

I am really getting into this paleo approach to eating, and am still reading through my 'it starts with food' book all about the whole 30 approach. It's making me think harder about what I eat and why I eat it. 

I am really making the effort to avoid anything processed, anything not fresh and anything that doesn't serve me nutritional benefit. 

I struggled to get back into it yesterday after waking up feeling ill, but I am happy to say that I am back in my flow today and went to TWO gym classes tonight and cooked a paleo / whole30 friendly dinner for a friend and I.

Chicken & leek, Garlic Mushrooms, Roasted beetroot and squash with a side of runner beans, baby stem broccoli and baby corn.

RECIPE:

•Chicken Thighs

•5 Garlic Cloves

•1 White Onion

•1 large Leek

•Coconut/Olive oil

•Seasoning to taste- salt, pepper, chilli

•Preheat oven to 180c

•Cut onion and leeks

•Put all in casserole dish with whole garlic cloves

•Place chicken on top

•Add oil and seasoning

•Cover with foil and cook for 35 minutes

For the mushroom I dry fried them to start with diced garlic cloves, then added a table spoon of the juices from the casserole dish as I served the chicken.

I made a jus with the juices in the casserole dish by pressing down on the garlic cloves to remove all juice, and added it into a small amount of chicken stock through a sieve. 

Enjoy :)
