Creamy Asparagus Stuffed Chicken Key Ingredients Explained:
- Seasonings: by using a mortar and pestle, you experience the culinary art of releasing an aroma of flavors.
- Try whole black peppercorns, Herbes de Provence, and Maldon Sea Salt Flakes for an elevated taste.
- Both Everything but the Bagel Sesame and Green Goddess Seasoning Blend came from Trader Joe’s
- AIP Option: only use salt, black peppercorn, herbes de provence, and Maldon Sea Salt Flakes.
- Whole30 Compliant and Vegan Cheeses:
- I have tried KiteHill and Miyoko’s, but Violife has been my favorite. It is 100% vegan, non-GMO, free from dairy, soy, gluten, casein, lactose, nuts, and preservatives. It tastes, melts, and cooks just like the cheeses. On top of that, it is made with coconut oil and Vitamin B12.
- Beware of cheese alternatives as many are nut-based and include guar gum–a legume and food additive found in most processed foods.
