Chicken Fajita Seasoned Whole 30 Compliant (Paleo)

Not that I am judging BUT....consider not buying pre-made seasonings and make your own.Overall, there are so many benefits to trying new recipes and you can create CLEAN seasonings very easily.  Recipes are everywhere so it's not rocket science you are dealing with, just personal preference.  

Tonight I made a fajita seasoning and used it on chicken.  This meal was serving myself and my three children who primarily have a vanilla palate.  The recipe I am posting below comes from Chocolate Moosey (whom I shall mentions takes beautiful pictures of the process.  Meanwhile you have my one shot and a picture of my finished Whole 30 compliant/Paleo meal.  I had Fajita chicken with onions and peppers, guacamole and a lettuce salad. I added tons of cilantro and fresh lime juice. I think a clean hot sauce would be a great addition if you can't fire up the seasoning too much because you have children with vanilla palates like I do!  

The What's:

1 Tbsp chili powder
1 1/2 tsp cumin
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper (optional)


The How:
Simply place all of the What's into a airtight container and shake!

Go ahead and give it a shake.  Shake it off, Shake it off. Below is my Whole 30 compliant dinner in which I had two servings of.  I normally skip the green peppers but since I need to make sure I eat enough green stuff, I made it work for the better!  Enjoy and remember you can use this seasoning recipe on mostly any protein. 

Plain Kale Chips

Today, I am sharing an easy and tasty recipe that you can kill in a good way, or a bad way depending on how well you follow directions.  These are a good match to a plain potato chip that is thinly sliced.  No doubt, they have got to be a better choice.  Create an option for yourself and your family.

This recipe can be found here.  What I want to share with you today, my the technique I used.  My husband and one of my daughters also enjoyed these as well.  A lot.  

Homemade Kale ChipsThe What's:

1 bunch kale, rinsed, thoroughly dried, and chopped (remove thick stems, or not)

olive oil

sea salt

(I added sesame seeds)

Recipe from AllRecipes.com

Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees and cover your cookie sheet with parchment paper.   Place your kale in a large ziploc bag and place enough olive oil in the bag to cover each pieces of kale.  This amount will varied by how much kale you are making.  I added three sprinkles of sesame seeds and at least 1/2 Tbsp of Kosher Salt.  Seal the ziploc bag and shake the bag until every piece of kale is covered.  Open the bag and spread the kale evenly on two cookie sheets. 

Bake your kale at 350 degrees for 10-20 minutes until the edges are browned but not burnt.  I tossed the kale around a bit and when I saw the edges were browning, I turned the oven down to 225 and let it bake until they were equally crunchy.  If you want a crunchy chip like I do, keep watching and tasting them, at a lower oven temperature, every ten minutes until they are equally toasty.  Let them cool before serving, if you can resist.
