Holy yum!! Clean keto is the way to go! Everything in this recipe was perfect. It was really quick and easy to make and it tasted delicious! If you want to save even more time, chop and cut all the veggies in advance. I love finding these light and healthy recipes that also fit into my keto lifestyle. This one got two thumbs up from me, I highly recommend it!! If you make it let me know, tag @jaimemessina on Instagram!


INGREDIENTS:

For the onion & pepper mixture

  • 1 large brown onion, diced
  • 1 medium red pepper, diced
  • 1 small chorizo sausage, peeled and diced (about 100–150 g / 4–5 oz.)
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
  • Pinch of dried coriander or thyme
  • Generous pinch of salt and pepper
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

For the chicken

  • 4–5 chicken tenderloins, cut into 3 pieces each (see notes for alternatives)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin powder
  • Generous pinch of salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

For asparagus

  • 100 g / 3-4 oz. asparagus spears (1 bunch), ends trimmed
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely diced
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Generous pinch of salt




DIRECTIONS
  1. Preheat the oven to 210 C / 410 F. While the oven is heating up, prepare the ingredients.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the onion and peppers with chorizo, spices, salt, pepper, olive oil, and lemon juice. Spread the mixture on an ovenproof flat sheet pan.
  3. Mix the chicken ingredients in the same bowl, using your hands to rub the chicken pieces evenly. Spread the chicken pieces on top of the onion and peppers. Place in the oven, middle shelf, for 10 minutes.
  4. In the meantime, combine the asparagus with garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt and set aside. After 10 minutes, remove the sheet pan from the oven. Scatter the asparagus spears amongst the chicken and sprinkle with the remaining garlic and juices. Turn the heat down to 200 C / 400 F and place the tray back in for 7 minutes. Remove from the tray and serve while hot.

Recipe Thursday: Fall Detox Vegetable Soup

Image
I am a Boston girl born and raised but honestly I am cold more often than not. For that reason as soon as summer ends I start to get sad and panic about how I am going to keep myself warm all winter. One way that works for me is to make a lot of warm soups so that I can warm myself up from the inside out!  When I posted the choices for this week's Recipe Thursday , the concern over the word "detox" was thoroughly entertaining. Trust me, I get it. In the past, the word detox meant spending an entire day in the....well you get the point. As I came to learn more about nutrition I began to understand that "detox" does not mean that you will not be able to leave your house for days, all it means is that you are cleansing your body of toxins in a healthy way.  I kid, I kid...my point is that the Fall Vegetable Detox Soup was the winner this week and eating it does not mean that you will have to cancel your plans for the day. I found this soup reci

What a Day of Meals Looks Like on the 3-Day Refresh.

Image
The 3-Day Refresh Cleanse came out last week, and I am sure you are all wondering what a day of meals would look like if you were to do this cleanse. I have decided to put this post together so that I can simply show you how the cleanse will go day by day.  Day 1-  (Upon waking drink 8-10 oz. of filtered water.) Breakfast(within 1 hour of waking): Shakeology blended in 1 1/4 cups filtered water. Plus 1 serving from the fruit list. I chose half of a banana and actually added it into my shake. I added ice, and cinnamon which is on the guilt-free flavorings list that they provide us. I made it the same way all 3 days. Optional: Morning Tea (at least one hour after breakfast) 1 cup unsweetened herbal or green tea. (stevia sweetener allowed) I chose not to do this because I was fine drinking my water.  Mid-Morning(at least 1 hour after morning tea): Fiber Sweep (digestive health drink) mixed in 1 cup filtered water. The first day I did not add enough
