4. 20 Minute White Chicken Chili Anything that has this much flavor and takes only 20 minutes to make is A-okay in our book. A jar of salsa verde gives this a kick of flavor.

5. Loaded BLT Lettuce Wraps with Homemade Yogurt Herb Dressing A fun take on leftover chicken, this one is perfect for lunch or dinner. Not a fan of yogurt herb dressing? Toss it in some balsamic and olive oil.

7. Sheet Pan Fajitas Ye Olde Staple of the Laughing Spatula! This was one of the first recipes to put us on the map, and though tons and tons of other bloggers have followed suit, we still think ours is the best 🙂 Peppers, onions, chicken and a homemade marinade keep this one paleo approved, and absolutely healthy and delicious.
