"What About Cardio?"

This weekend Alicia adapted this Paleo Chicken Alfredo recipe and we used it to put over Romain Lettuce for a great salad.  The recipe that we adapted this from comes from Robb Wolf's book The Paleo Solution: The Original Human Diet.

Ingredients

• 2 tsp olive oil
• 4 cloves of garlic, chopped
• 1 lb of chicken breast
• 2 tsp tarragon
• 1 cup almonds
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp mustard powder
• 1/4 tsp sea salt
• 1/4 tsp pepper
• 1/4 tsp paprika
• chicken broth

Add the olive oil to a large skillet.  Saute the garlic over medium heat for 3-4 minutes.  Cube the chicken and cook until browned on all sides.  Add the tarragon, cover and simmer for 5 minutes.

In a blender, combine the almonds, onion powder, garlic powder, mustard powder, sea salt, pepper,and paprika.  Blend into a powder.

Drain the liquid from the chicken and slowly add to the powder in the blender, blending into a thick sauce.  Add in chicken broth to get your desired consistency.

Add the sauce back to the chicken, mix well, cover and simmer for 10 minutes.  Add in chicken broth as needed.

We poured this over a salad of Romain Lettuce and enjoyed.  The next day, it warmed up well also.
