Well. Here we are. Back on the AIP diet.

As hard as this is to work in with a busy schedule, a career and a toddler, I am SO thanfkul to the holistic professionals who found out that this diet is SO healing and SO beneficial to calming our inflammation and auto-immune issues. And PRAISE THE LORD for meal prep. You NEED to be meal prepping. If you ever need help, reach out! I can talk to you about some easy tips. 

I've found for me, it's 100% needed to come back to this from time to time when I feel myself more sluggish, carrying excess water, inflamed or reacting more from cross-contamination. I haven't put many AIP recipes on the blog, because honestly, when I'm on AIP it means I'm not at my best and the energy for recipe creation and promotion usually isn't there. However, I am trying to turn a new leaf.

I was so blessed in 2012 when this blog really started to take off because of the connections I was making with so many women, men and children who were needing to go gluten free, dairy free or soy free and it made my heart so happy to know I could provide safe and yummy recipes to those who needed them in their season or life of food restriction.

I want to make it a point to add more healing foods, more AIP options and more whole choices when it comes to entrees in 2019/2020. 

The baked goods are pretty and fun guys, but they have their place. And unfortunately their place isn't in my home or body right now. 

For this recipe, I've found it's hard to find organic ground chicken in the stores. If you invest in a meat grinder, you'll be able to grind higher quality poultry to make this recipe.  


​AIP Chicken and Sweet Potato Nuggets

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 lb organic ground chicken
  • 1 medium uncooked sweet potato, finely grated (I peeled and cut it and put it in my Ninja)
  • 2 Tbsp. grain-free flour (cassava, coconut, tigernut)
  • 2 Tbsp avocado oil 
  • 1/8 c. chopped chives
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 Tbsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp sea salt 

Optional: You could also add a small amount of grated apple, to make Chicken Apple Nuggets. 

DIRECTIONS:

  • Preheat oven to 400 and line a baking sheet with parchment. 
  • Combine ingredients in a large mixing bowl and mix until well incorporated. 
  • Wash hands and using your hands, roll meat and potato mixer into nugget shapes and place on baking sheet. (I needed two baking sheets to fit them all)
  • Bake for 25 minutes or until cooked through.
  • Serve with AIP friendly guacamole or vegan AIP coconut sour cream.


Have you incorporated an AIP lifestyle? What health changes have you seen? 

If you haven't, leave any questions below and I'd be happy to assist you! It's hard, but so so so so so so so worth it!

This was such a great recipe for me to read. I'm allergic to white potatoes, so I eat only sweet potatoes and I'm always looking for creative ways to use them! I'd have to sub out a few of the other ingredients I'm allergic to, but now I'm inspired!

I LOVE chicken nuggets, but I've never thought about making my own! What a great way to incorporate more vegetables into your daily meals, too. Plus I love sweet potato 😋

These look amazing, Mandi! I try to stick to anti-inflammatory and AIP as much as possible since it's so much better for you in the long run. (Plus I always feel so much better in the short run, too, haha.) Thanks so much for this lovely recipe!

about

Nosh & Nurture was born of this journey I am on to better the health of myself, my family and those around me.  What started as a simple compilation of recipes has grown to a all-around lifestyle journal with ways to incorporate organic products into your home, pantry and beauty cabinet.  I also include stories on pregnancy, new motherhood, travel, Proverbs 31 marriage, and spiritual health, as I am a Christian who couldn't do any of this without my Lord & Savior Jesus Christ. For more of my story you can click here. 

All recipes are gluten-free and dairy-free with a lot of soy-free, grain-free, sugar-free options.
