Instant Pot Asian Chicken Salad

February 5, 2020 by predominantlypaleo 9 Comments

 

Dinner is served! And lunch for tomorrow! This easy peasy Instant Pot Asian Chicken Salad might just make your weekly meal plan!


Instant Pot Asian Chicken Salad

Last night was a rough one. All my Tampa fun has caught up with me. I had to miss my mahjong girls night even after a nap, which unfortunately was not as restorative as I had hoped. Truth between us? I’ve been giving myself a lot more wiggle room than I normally do. 

I’ve been socializing like I get paid for it (that sure would be nice), I’ve been eating outside of the boundaries where I feel best, and I’ve not been getting the kind of sleep I need to. Basically, I have been living like I’m a 20 year old frat boy and it’s all adding up. 

Instant Pot Asian Chicken Salad

And since I’m apparently a level 5 expert at offending people, I’d like to add that there are some perfectly wonderful 20 year old frat boys who I’m sure are making their parents proud. I’ll leave that there. 

Ok, back to my aches and pains and brain fog. I need to get my shit together. I mean it’s been a fun run and I’ve been feeling great here in the Tampa, but things need to change. Time to get back to where I need to be. 

Remember that scene in Hitch where he tells Albert how to stay “right here” in his dance moves? That’s me. I was trying to pull too many tricks and in the end, it’s just not my best self trying to do all that. So here we go, back in my lane, less swerving, more feeling good again. 

Instant Pot Asian Chicken Salad

I decided to do a little reset these next two weeks. And without creating (falling back into) disordered eating, I do need to reel it in. So I’m focusing on proteins, good fats, veggies, ZERO REFINED SUGAR (even if it’s just short term), and lower carb. I’m not one for keto, I’ll get into why another time, but I do think I’ve gotten a little overindulgent on carbs without nutritional benefits. And as you know, that’s a real slippery slope. 

I made a delicious soup last night with sausage, ground beef, broth, broccoli, onion, and sweet potato, with a little sour cream added. It felt good to focus on pumping in nutrients. And today’s recipe has so much good stuff it’s crazy. So I hope if you’ve been steering a little off course too, you’ll jump on this train and ride it back to wellness with me.

    So delicious! I felt like it was restaurant worthy and so full of flavor! The dressing really compliments the salad. I’m a big fan of most of your recipes; so us my husband!

About

Jennifer is a wife and mother of 3 in pursuit of better health for her family.
After being gluten free for 4 years, and having a multitude of chronic health issues, she realized there was still too much processed “food” in her pantry and change was needed. Jennifer began feeding her family more meals from WHOLE foods and less from boxes. Her recipes are predominantly paleo, meaning they are free of grain, gluten, dairy, and refined sugar, but make allowances for a few treats and sweets. She believes food can be medicine when used appropriately and that a few changes now can equate to huge benefits later. Healthy food does not need to be flavorless and void of personality, which she aims to accomplish through her many recipes.
