You can tell that the weather is just starting to change from Summer to Fall here in NYC. This is my favorite time of year. I actually hate the summer. I don’t like to be hot, I don’t like the air conditioning and I’m not really a sun worshipper. A lot of it actually has to do with HIT. According to a recent study, people with a histamine intolerance may feel like they’re “allergic” to the sun. This allergy can manifest in skin irritations or headaches, which is my experience.
So, when Fall is in the air I get giddy with anticipation of big sweaters, hot tea and fall television sweeps (don’t judge – Modern Family is my jam).
To give Mother Nature a bit of a nudge, I whipped up a low histamine, baked chicken and artichoke stew that is going to warm you to the core. Not only is it delicious, but it’s a great meal to freeze and enjoy later.
Low Histamine Baked Chicken, Kale and Artichoke Stew
Print RecipeIngredients
- 3 lb chicken
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
- 1 tbsp Thrive Algae Oil or olive oil
- 1/2 red onion, chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 cup capers (jarred caper in water, not vinegar)
- 1 tsp lemon extract (optional if you're making this low-histamine)
- 3 cups chicken stock
- 1 jar of artichoke hearts (preserved in water, not vinegar)
- 3 cups kale
Instructions
Rinse chicken and sprinkle salt, pepper and Italian seasoning on chicken
Heat Thrive Algae Oil in a large, high-sided skillet
Cook chicken on medium for about 7 minutes on one side, then an additional 5 minutes on the other side
Place the cooked chicken aside
Reduce heat to medium-low, scrape the bottom of the pan to release the cooked bits
Add onion and garlic to pan and cook until onions are softened (about 4 minutes)
Add the capers and lemon extract (if using) to the pan and stir
Add in chicken stock and artichoke hearts
Carefully add in the chicken to the pan and let simmer for 10 minutes
Add the kale into the pan and simmer 4 minutes more
You can sub out the kale for bok choy, which is just as yummy and personally my favorite. Serve with your choice of grain.
What’s your favorite season? Are you excited for the Fall, too?
