This. It was perfect. Amazing. So good. I’ve never had mole sauce, so I have no idea what the authentic stuff tastes like. But, I don’t need to know. Whether or not this is anywhere close, it’s incredible. Noah requested we have it every night, and I’m inclined to indulge him on that one.
Looking for Low-FODMAP Recipes?
The low-FODMAP diet is often prescribed for people with IBS or Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO), and there’s a huge overlap of that demographic with people with autoimmune disease. My e-book 28 Days of Low-FODMAP AIP combines both IBS- and autoimmune-friendly diets in a 28-day meal plan designed to jump start and simplify this often-challenging diet change. Just you wait: The meal plan includes 50 exclusive low-FODMAP recipes you won’t find on my website or anywhere else, with dishes like Chicken Vindalo, Jambalaya, and crispy, crunchy Tostones. You’ll be amazed at the variety of flavors still available to you! The ebook is available as a digital download for $9.99.

This looks great! I’m hoping to make tonight. Do you make it with the ‘meaty’ no mato sauce? Or do you leave out the meat?
Nevermind! Ha I looked again and saw the recipe for no mato sauce without the meat!
I hope you enjoy it, it’s one of our favorites! 🙂
The link for the nomato sauce gets an error. I tried searching the blog too and just got recipes that reference the nomato sauce but every time I click on the link–from any recipe–it gets an error. Recipe looks great but have to figure out how to make the nomato sauce. 🙂
Thanks!
Thank you for bringing that to my attention, I’ve fixed the links! You can find the nomato sauce recipe here: http://www.acleanplate.com/recipe/spaghetti-with-nomato-sauce/
Wonderful! Thank you!!
I’m planning to transition from standard Paleo to AIP very soon and looking forward to trying this recipe. What kind of chicken do you use (boneless breasts, split breasts, boneless thighs?), and how big are the pieces (roughly) after you chop it up?
I usually use breasts and chop it into bite-sized pieces, but you can easily use any kind of chicken meat you like or have on hand — you may just have to adjust the cooking time depending on how big your pieces are.
Thanks- can’t wait to try it!
This was sooooo delicious! Made me feel “normal” for just a little while despite my weird dietary needs. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing, Karen! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe!
