delish & nutrish recipes
but first, a little chef chat
If you’re considering increasing your nutrition through food, reducing inflammation, or just a healthy, delish and nutrish recipe or two, you’ve come to the right place! Most of these recipes can be made in about 30 minutes, faster than it takes for delivery to show up, and less expensive!
“Don’t remember ingredients, remember techniques.” Is something a chef I worked for used to say. So be sure to carefully follow the Methods for each recipe. Anyone can read a list of ingredients. Assembling them properly is the key to great results!
If you want to substitute flavors, say you like basil better than oregano, or you’re out of thyme (pun intended), go for it!
Some of my favorite tools are a scale, portion scoops, and one or two sharp knives. Try these links for some of my favorite things.
I give you measurements for all of the recipes and occasionally drop in the weights for accuracy. (pounds or ounces).
Finally, please feel free to leave comments on each recipe you try, and be sure to share and tag me on social media! I answer each and every question, and I love your feedback!

Youvarlakia - greek chicken meatballs in avgolemono SAUCE
Simmering the meatballs in chicken bone broth really uplevels the nutritional value of this dish. One technique used a lot in Greek cooking is grating onions and other vegetables. It works exceptionally well in ground meat mixtures, like this meatball recipe. It’s worth the effort to have the savory flavors of the vegetables without the texture from dicing or mincing.
Tahini Chicken Salad
The dressing alone makes an excellent dipping sauce too. Perfect for zucchini fries or crudité. Double the dressing and keep it in the fridge for topping almost anything.
Slow-Cook Green Chicken Chili
This Green Chicken Chili is a “set it and forget it” recipe! Completely paleo, grain, gluten and dairy free. And depending on the tomatillo salsa you choose, also Whole30 compatible.
Chicken Kapama
This “speedy” rendition of a “cooked-all-day” traditional recipe turns boring boneless, skinless chicken breasts into tender, juicy meat in a stick-to-your-ribs meal that is delicious year round, but a total bowl of comfort food in about 20 to 30 minutes.
Yogurt Marinated Chicken Kabobs
The arugula pesto is bright and peppery, with lemon and garlic to balance it out. Just put a small bowl with a spoon for everyone to pass around and drizzle over the grilled chicken. It’s delish, and another sneaky way to squeeze a green veggie onto the table.
Lemon Chicken with Capers and Caper Leaves
Yes it is similar to piccata, but capers are native to Greece and grown almost everywhere, it’s the caper leaves that make this unique.
Chicken with Blistered Tomatoes and Onions
I love the bold flavors of the roasted onions and peppers. complimented by the balsamic vinegar.
Chicken with Blood Orange, Cucumber and Pistachios
Refreshingly light but hearty and satisfying as well.
Street Food Style Chicken Satays
You could certainly “gyro” these out with the addition of tomatoes and onions too. I like the “satay” technique, lightly flattening the chicken and cutting it into strips
WonTonLess Meatballs
These are WonTon (less) because they taste just like the wonton filling, but they don't need wrapper to be delish and nutrish!
Chicken Liver Paté
Organ meats from sustainable animals provide a protein-packed, nutrient-dense, healthy-fats bite or meal. I like to make up a full recipe and divide it into 3 mini canning jars and freeze. Thaw in the refrigerator, add some apple and veggie slices and you have a delicious snack or lunch on the go.
Chicken Mushroom Piccata
Dredging the chicken pieces in tapioca starch gives you a light, crispy coating without the heaviness of wheat flour. Read to the end for a great tip on cooking mushrooms too.
