Balsamic Chicken and Veggies

This Balsamic Chicken and Veggies recipe is adapted from one I used to make featuring red-skinned potatoes and bell peppers for crunch. Now we have sweet potato, zucchini, and asparagus instead, making for a much healthier but no less tasty meal! The best part is it all comes together in about 30 minutes and leaves only a blender and baking sheet for cleanup. And while the blueberries are fun, you can omit them if you don’t have any on hand or if they’re out of season where you are. (I know sometimes those blueberry price tags are pretty high, even for the frozen ones!)

Looking for more easy AIP recipes?

I know diet change can feel overwhelming. I started the autoimmune protocol at a time when only four other people were writing about it, and over the years, I’ve striven to give you the resources I wish I’d had when I got started. Not just recipes, but ways to implement them. My first ebook 28 Days of AIP is a meal plan that will help you get going (or get back on the wagon) with as little fuss as possible. With a variety of simple, delicious recipes, plenty of leftovers so you don’t spend all your free time in the kitchen, and shopping lists ready to go, all you have to do is follow the plan, then sit down and enjoy your meal! It’s available as a digital download for $9.99.
