Easily Cook Even If You've Got Low Energy

When you're in the middle of an autoimmune disease flare or just don't feel great, batch cooking can seem VERY daunting. Yet batch cooking can save you so much time – and energy – during the week.

It's like a catch-22, and an issue I hear SO much from my readers/viewers.

Easy Paleo & AIP Chicken Marinades

I recently came up with these 5 Paleo & AIP chicken marinades that you can easily put together, even when you're exhausted beyond words.

Know how I know you can do that?

Because when I went to go film the video demo for this I was recovering from the stomach flu and could barely sit upright, much less stand and do a lot of cooking. Yet I still was able to assemble these 5 chicken dinners in a matter of minutes.

You can watch the full-length video on YouTube if you'd rather watch it than read! Watch the video here.

These AIP & Paleo chicken marinades use ingredients that are usually pretty easy to find in most grocery stores and are also budget-friendly.

Make one for dinner tonight or make all 5 and freeze for later! Simply thaw and then grill or roast in the oven.

How to make these marinades coconut-free

All but one of these marinades are already naturally coconut-free. However, if you don't tolerate coconut well, no worries.

You can just omit the coconut aminos in the Honey Garlic marinade or make your own coconut-free coconut aminos using this recipe by Mel Joulwan.

I recommend making a batch of this and freezing it in an ice cube tray, giving you approx 2 tbs of “coconut aminos/soy sauce” per ice cube to use whenever you need it!
