If you are following the Lion Diet, then you know that I eat a lot of Mexican inspired dishes.  But tonight, its Italian Night!!  This Chicken Cacciatore dish is delicious, satisfying and low on the Glycemic Index.  For our beans…say hello to Chickpea Pasta.  Its a game changer.  Get the pasta with one ingredient, chickpeas.  In this recipe, I use Boneless, Skinless Chicken Thighs for the Chicken.  I find its the tastiest and easiest to cook.  You can use whatever chicken your prefer.  I have even used ground chicken.  This recipe makes 8 servings for me.  

The healthiest cultures around the globe consume large amounts of beans.  That is the first green flag.  Beans are high in Fiber and many other nutrients.  Green Flag 2.  This bean dish will take you to Italy.  I have fun with food.  You will too with this recipe.  You get to use several cooking techniques, and its Delish!

When doing the Lion Diet I recommend finding a meal that works and repeating it.  I call my “usual” meal an Alpha Power Bowl.  The Alpha Power Bowl is my standard meal on the Maintenance Lion Diet plan.  This meal checks all the same boxes and is just as good.  This meal just takes a bit more cooking.  It is still loaded with my beans topped with meats, veggies, sauces, eggs.  This can be eaten as a dish or on keto tortillas.

I make this very often.  It is a much easier “sell” to my kids for getting beans into their diet.  I hope you enjoy this quick and easy recipe as much as I do.
