'Paleo Takeout Review: Honey Sesame Chicken

7/12/2015

22 Comments

 
Paleo Takeout Review | Honey Sesame Chicken | by Nosh and Nurture
After Mr. Charming and I spent the day Dating Our City, we knew we wanted to end it with a lovely evening at home with a delicious meal.  And we wanted to try something new. 

There seems to be a new phenomenon in the Paleo world in the form of a new book. Being a part of the Paleo community, I'm probably more exposed to things of this nature than most, but I couldn't deny that a certain title kept coming up again and again and again. Paleo Takeout by Russ Crandall. 

Russ Crandall, like many of us in the Paleo world, suffered health ailments that brought him to the realization that food can heal. Except he struggled with much more than the average 20-something. At the young age of twenty-five, Crandall suffered a stroke and has since used his struggles and his story to inspire others through food. A concept very near & dear to my heart. 

Not only is his story inspiring, but he is hands on with his readers. Answering questions, helping to tweak recipes and touring to meet his fans and readers face to face. In the day and age we live in, it's so refreshing to still see that since of connection & community. And aside from all of the RAVE food reviews after people trying out his recipes, it was something endearing that made me RUSH out to pick up my own copy.

Now, here on Nosh & Nurture, I try to infuse a lot of "comfort" food and easy recipes here, to show you that you CAN cook healthy and fast at home. Russ shows us that delicious take-out doesn't have to be a thing of our past. With a background in food, he put together a curated collection of a delicious mix of foods from around the world that are typical 'fast food' eats - and then made them Paleo. 

The first one I tried was a dish I've missed for nearly five years. Honey Sesame Chicken. I altered the recipe slightly to my specifications and needs, (ie: no sesame seeds pictured on mine) but I can tell you hands down that 1. It was 100% satisfying. 2. It was 1000% delicious and 3. I will be serving this at a dinner party in the very near future. 

That third statement is huge. When it comes to hosting dinner parties I only ever serve food that is not only Paleo, gluten-free, dairy-free and refined sugar free, but I serve food that will pass off as the "real deal". Food that kids will not only eat but enjoy and foods that make people ask, "where can I get more of this?" 

Mr. Charming and I will be trying many more of Mr. Crandall's recipes and I can tell you it's the best $20 I've spent in a long time.

For more information on  Paleo Takeout visit his website here, or the facebook group here, where you can connect with all of us foodies who are trying out his book, page by delicious page.

P.S. this is not a sponsored post. Just a post by a fan who wants to hug this man for bringing crispy honey chicken back into my life.

Ah, I love honey chicken and the fact that this is paleo has piqued my interest even more! We like to eat foods that are gluten-free and made with healthier ingredients. I will definitely look for this cookbook the next time I go the the bookstore. Thanks for sharing!

Joscelyn,
I know - I didn't think "Paleo" and "Honey Chicken" existed in the same glorious world, but they CAN! haha

It takes a little time, but totally worth it! And the serving is for four people so we had leftovers

This looks so yummy! I've been meaning to try Paleo for some time but always get a little nervous about all the restrictions and having to give up my yummy foods. This makes me feel better about it!

It's such a great lifestyle for healthy eating - i'm about 80-90% Paleo - as I still eat gluten-free oats and some rice from time to time for my digestion. But there are SO many things you can still make. It's all about using healthier ingredients to make classic foods.

This honey chicken looks really good. My husband is trying to eat a diet that is low carbs and more protein so I think this would be in line with his needs. Will definitely try cooking it soon. Plus will take a look at the book, which sounds interesting.
Thx.

Sonia,
Agreed! I still use these recipes in moderation, because I don't like to consume too much fried items (even though I used EVOO and Tapioca Starch) but when you're wanting "Takeout" this is def the healthier way to go!

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.
