Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 3 eggs
- 1 red bell pepper (diced)
- 1 yellow bell pepper (diced)
- 1 green bell pepper (diced)
- 1 jalapeno (diced)
- 1 cup red salsa
- 1 cup green salsa
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 1/8 cup nutritional yeast (or cheddar cheese)
Instruction
- Preheat the oven to 350 F. Set aside an 8x8 casserole dish.
- In a sauté pan, add the extra virgin olive oil with the diced bell peppers and jalapeños. Cook 3 minutes until slightly tender.
- Then add the ground chicken with the onion powder, oregano, cumin, paprika and chili powder. Break up the meat as it cooks with a wood spoon or spatula.
- Once the meat is cooled, remove the pan from the heat to cool slightly.
- As the meat cools, whisk together the eggs in a large mixing bowl. Add the green and red salsa with the eggs.
- Stir in the ground chicken mixture and transfer to the baking dish. Sprinkle with nutritional yeast (if not Paleo, you can add a bit of cheese).
- Bake at 350 F 1 hour 15 minutes or until the center is set. Remove from the oven and let the casserole sit at room temperature 15 minutes before slicing and enjoying.
- Note the casserole will be liquid-y after baking, but it's really delicious! Add it to grain-free tortillas or serve over a salad.
