Make meal prep easy this week by cooking up a batch of this paleo white chicken chili. Not only is it convenient to pull out of the fridge for lunch, the flavors are even better a day or two after cooking.
No easy access to poblano chiles? No worries – you can use a variety of peppers in this recipe from jalapeños to make it spicier to more bell peppers for a milder version.

Very good and low carb. If you don’t have any pre-cooked chicken on hand it’s still pretty easy. I cooked chicken thighs first in a pressure cooker, and they shredded up nicely.
