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.
