Paleo Chicken Chorizo Stew

I finished my first week of Whole30 and so I am feeling a little crummy. I always find that days 7-9 are my worst. By day 11, I am feeling good and know I can make it through the month. Let’s celebrate the completion of my first week though with a hearty stew that is filled amazing flavors and easy to make too. Paleo chicken chorizo stew is the perfect winter’s meal and it is good for you too!

One of the great things about this stew, similar to my chicken sausage stew, is that you can use any vegetables you have on hand. It is perfect for using up what is left in your fridge. I typically use potatoes, sweet potatoes and kale but you can change that to whatever you prefer and I think it would still be delicious. Just think of this stew as your healthy comfort food!

Check your ingredient labels before starting though if you are following Paleo or Whole30. The recipe is complaint as long as you use the right items 🙂
