Paleo Chicken with Red Pepper and Almonds is a seven ingredient recipe made with chicken thighs cooked in a super creamy roasted red pepper sauce with almonds and coconut milk. The ultimate dinner party meal. Easy to make and fit for a crowd. Paleo, Gluten-Free and Dairy-Free. Paleo Chicken with Red Pepper and Almonds is quickly becoming a fan favorite at my house. I’ve made this recipe a handful of times now and it is always a hit. Everyone loves this Paleo chicken dish and raves about it and asks me to send them the recipe. Well it was time I published it here for everyone to have access to it.
Roasted red peppers when blended in the food processor and mixed with a few other key ingredients transforms into romesco sauce – a most decadent and creamy sauce that is simply the best. This works with chicken, fish, as a dip, as a spread on flatbread, you name.
Roasted red pepper sauce is just the best if you ask me.
You can make your own roasted red peppers at home, either over a gas flame or in the oven, and yes this can be a time consuming labor intensive process, so no judgement here if you buy the canned ones instead.
I have made my own roasted red peppers from scratch and I do find the superior to the canned ones, but sometimes you just don’t have the time. It’s like home made broths and stocks, always better home made, but sometimes store bought will just have to suffice. Some of my favorite roasted red pepper sauce recipes include red snapper fish with romesco sauce recipe, salmon red rice veggie bowls with roasted red pepper sauce, vegan roasted red pepper sauce pasta, and creamy vegan roasted red pepper sauce soup.
I just cannot get enough of roasted red pepper sauce and this roasted red pepper Paleo chicken recipe is seriously addicting. It is so creamy and flavorful that you will just want to eat it by the spoonful. I know I always do. I love serving this Paleo chicken with a side of rice pilaf so that the rice can also absorb all that roasted red pepper sauce goodness.
What I love adding to the roasted red peppers to make them super creamy is coconut milk. I love cooking with coconut milk and find it to be the best substitute for cream in dairy free recipes.
And speaking of coconut milk, today’s post is actually not dedicated to this roasted red pepper sauce chicken at all — this post is actually all about my friend Regina’s e-cookbook dedicated to cooking with coconut flour!
Have you cooked with coconut flour before? It is an amazing paleo and gluten-free friendly allergen friendly flour. One small problem — it can be a bit finicky and tricky to cook with.
You really have to know your stuff to get those perfect coconut flour recipes, and Regina’s Coconut Flour Ebook is here to help!
She has sorted out the coconut flour dilemma. And trust me, I’ve attempted coconut flour crepes in the past, on my own, and it was a disaster. When you’re cooking with coconut flour you don’t just want to wing it, you want someone guiding you all the way through those recipes and Regina’s cookbook does just that.
Since my blog is focused on gluten-free and dairy-free cooking, but I am not a huge baker or dessert maker I figured you would love to see what’s out there in terms of gluten-free & paleo sweet recipes.
