I thought I would put together a list of the recipes that my family loves! These are tried-and-true! We eat these pretty much on a rotation or using whatever meat we have stocked in the freezer!

1) Balsamic Mustard Chicken – This tops my list because this chicken is unbelievable. We serve it over spinach and drizzle the juice over roasted veggies. You have to try this!!!

2) Chicken Nuggets – my kids love this…ok, so do us adults 🙂

3) Thyme Roast Chicken – I am always looking for whole chicken recipes because I buy whole chicken in bulk when it goes on sale. This chicken is so delicious!

4) Lime Roast Chicken – another whole chicken recipe that my family loves. The juices are so good you can drink them!

5) Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps – this is a recipe that I made Paleo. We love it!

6) Damn Fine Chicken – OMG, this chicken is so good. We make it with virgin red palm oil.

7) Spicy Caramelized Peach & Leek Stuffed Bacon Wrapped Chicken – whew, yes it’s a long title but it is out of this world! The sauce is delicious!

8) Meat & Spinach Muffins – We love these! They are a great protein to have on hand when you are in a hurry.

9) Ground Beef Stroganoff – tired of burgers? Give Beef Stroganoff  a try!

10 ) Stuffed Poblano Peppers – these are sooooooo delicious! Not spicy, and our kids eat it!

11) Firecracker Tuna Salad – another amazing recipe from The Clothes Make the Girl!

12) Almond Bread – I know this isn’t a main dish…but this is our go-to bread recipe. It’s the consistancy of cornbread and a great side to any soup or stew! I just had to share it because it’s that time of the year where there’s nothing better than a warm piece of bread and a hot bowl of soup!

13) Creamy Chicken Tomato Crockpot Soup – this is so easy and simple and yet so tasty! I always have lots of bone stock that I make from our whole chicken bones. This soup tops my list!

14) Chicken Noodless Soup – just in time for the chilly months! This soup will warm you to the bones!

15) Paleo Butternut Squash Lasagna – this is soooooooooooooo freakin good! I make it quite often. You won’t even miss the lasagna noodles! Trust me, my Italian husband gobbles this down!

16) Sausage Stuffed Apples – sausage and apple just go perfect together!

17) Apple & Bacon Stuffed Pork Chops – finger licken good! You won’t be disappointed with this. I’ve even make it with chicken breast and it’s just as good!

18) Spinach Stuffed Braciole – mine never comes out pretty, but it tastes amazing! My mom introduced me to this recipe! So good!

19) Pepper Crusted Steak – delicious! We had it over spinach and loved it!

20) Zucchini & Sweet Potato Frittata – we have this for breakfast, for dinner…who cares! It’s so good and I love sweet potato!

21) Scotch Eggs – the Scottish got it right when they created these little boogers! Another great breakfast or quick snack if you are on the go a lot!

22) Bacon Egg Cups – so cute and easy! Great when you are in a rush and need to get ready while the oven cooks for you!

23) Mexican Hash – my husband loves this hash! I use it with ground beef sometimes instead of chorizo and it’s delicious!

24) Buffalo Chicken Chopped Salad – ever get that chicken wing craving? This salad will satisfy it!

25) Lemon Garlic Crockpot Chicken – another favorite whole chicken recipe! But this one you can throw in the crockpot and be done with it!

    Thank you for the compliment on my Lime Chicken. My family loves it too (plus it’s super easy to make). I’ve been doing it in our BBQ during the summer. Mmmmmm.

    As a Chef and Foodie, I set out on the Paleo journey with many hesitations that I could not fufill the variety of flavors and textures that I enjoy in food without grains, dairy. To my daily suprise, and thinking outside the box, I have found a wonderful way to nourish my family without harmful foods. This week I tried the lime chicken, so great, my kids were fighting over how could scrape the pan. Also the asian Chicken wraps, were very tasty, I added some sesame oil and green onion ! awesome….Keep the recipes coming, And please don’t take offense to my tweaking recipes, it’s chef habit! Thank you so much!

    I have tried several of these. The Mexican Hash is the favorite so far. My family turned up their noses when I told them the ingredients but tried and loved it.

    We love bacon and we love to cook apples for a dessert, I am so glad you included the chicken recipe with apples and bacon. I will try this to add a new dimension to my crispy chicken recipe. I love how I feel when I’m eating clean and it makes it so much easier when I can find new ways to cook my favorites.

    I can’t find the first recipe on this list, Balsamic Mustard Chicken. I made it a while back , loved it. Now when I click on it it just gives me an error message .

      The original contributor of this recipe appears to have taken it off her website.
