Ingredients

  • Fresh chicken breast (skinless, boneless)
  • Wild-caught fresh fish fillets (like cod or sole)
  • Pasture-raised eggs
  • Cucumbers (peeled for extra gentleness)
  • Zucchini
  • Fresh carrots
  • Leafy greens like butter lettuce or spinach (fresh, not wilted)
  • Green beans
  • Fresh pears
  • Apples (peeled to reduce histamine)
  • Fresh blueberries (small amounts)
  • Fresh lemons (for juice only, avoid zest)
  • Extra virgin olive oil (cold-pressed)
  • Coconut oil (unrefined)
  • Fresh parsley
  • Fresh basil
  • Fresh thyme
  • Sea salt (unprocessed)
  • Freshly ground black pepper (use sparingly)
  • Filtered water
  • Pure maple syrup (small amounts for sweetness)
  • Rice vinegar (check for additives)
  • Gluten-free oats (for some recipes)

Instructions

  1. Rinse chicken breasts under cold water, pat dry with paper towels. Trim any visible fat or connective tissue. Cut into even-sized strips or bite-sized pieces (about 1-inch chunks).
  2. Peel cucumbers and carrots to reduce histamine load. Slice cucumbers into thin rounds or half-moons, julienne carrots, and roughly chop leafy greens. Keep everything fresh and crisp.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, a pinch of sea salt, and 1 teaspoon pure maple syrup. Taste and adjust balance.
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat in your pan. Add chicken pieces in a single layer, season lightly with salt and a touch of black pepper. Cook about 4-5 minutes per side until opaque and cooked through. Avoid overcooking.
  5. In a large bowl, combine sliced cucumbers, carrots, and leafy greens. Add the warm chicken pieces on top. Drizzle dressing over everything and toss gently to coat.
  6. Serve immediately to preserve crispness. If preparing ahead, keep dressing separate and toss just before serving.

Notes

If chicken dries out, brine in lightly salted water for 15 minutes before cooking. Use fresh lemon juice instead of bottled for better flavor. Keep ingredients fresh and cook close to serving time to minimize histamine buildup. Avoid overcooking proteins to keep them tender. Store leftovers in airtight containers for up to 24 hours and reheat gently or enjoy cold.
