Who has had the magical lemony chicken soup from Luna Grill?! It’s seriously my favorite thing ever and as soon as one little cloud blocks the sun I CRAVE IT. Since I’m on a roll of nailing recipes on my first try (thank you Jesus) I gave it a whirl and oh boy. It’s THAT good. Holding off on the pita bread and rice bc your girl is going to be LIVING in a bikini next month. I’m super confident with my body the way it is but I want to lean out a little before getting basically naked all of May 😂 Learning to love your body, but also working hard to change it is a struggle but I think i’m getting there 🙏🏼

Greek-Style Lemon Chicken Soup

Servings 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 1/2 white onion diced
  • 1 carrot diced
  • 4 cloves garlic crushed/diced
  • 2 cups cauliflower rice or 1 cup uncooked orzo
  • 2-3 tbsp fresh dill and parsley (+ more to serve)
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 3 lemons
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (+ more to serve)
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tsp salt & pepper (+ more to taste)

Instructions

  1. Sauté white onion, carrot and garlic in 2 tbsp olive oil over medium heat (or the saute setting in your InstantPot). After about 5 minutes, add cauliflower rice or uncooked orzo.

  2. Make space for the chicken breasts and sear for 2-3 minutes each side. Add the chicken broth, fresh dill and parsley and salt & pepper. Pressure cook for 10 min in your InstantPot or bring to a simmer and cook covered for 45-1 hour in a regular soup pot.

  3. Once the soup is done and the chicken is cooked through, set aside 1 cup of hot broth and slowly add it to your egg yolks (1 tbsp at a time) while whisking vigorously. This prevents the eggs from scrambling when you add it to the soup!

  4. Remove the chicken, shred it and add back in with the juice from the lemons and the egg yolk mixture.

  5. Add more salt and pepper to taste. Serve with fresh parsley and dill and drizzle with a little olive oil!

Recipe Notes

I made this in an Instant Pot but you can do it in a regular soup pot as well!

In case you missed it, I made these UNREAL Morocca In case you missed it, I made these UNREAL Moroccan Spiced Brown Rice Bowls with Parsley Feta Dressing yesterday and felt like this recipe needed to be posted again 🤩 I’ll leave the link up in my bio over the weekend for my live cooking segment so you can cook along with me if you want! Regardless, this recipe is a MUST MAKE. Enjoy! xx 
.
Moroccan Spiced Lamb & Brown Rice Bowl
1 lb ground lamb (beef works too)
1/2 white onion diced
2 carrots chopped
1 tsp coriander
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp red chili flakes
1 tsp salt & pepper
1 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp cinnamon
3 tbsp tomato paste
1-2 tbsp avocado oil optional
For the Bowl:
Brown rice
Fresh lemon wedges
Fresh dill
Arugula
Tomato
Cucumber
Feta cheese
Pickled red onion
Parsley & Feta Dressing
1-2 garlic cloves
1/2 cup parsley leaves
1/3 cup Feta cheese
2-3 tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup water
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
Instructions:
Heat a non stick pan to medium/high heat and add in ground lamb. Brown for about 5 minutes then use a slotted spoon to remove the meat from the pan and set aside. 
Add white onion and chopped carrots to the same pan, adding a drizzle of avocado oil as needed (the juices from the lamb should suffice). Sauté until carrots become soft and onion becomes translucent. Add all the spices and combine.
Add the lamb back in with tomato paste and 1/2 cup water. Let it simmer until the water is absorbed.
Serve with brown rice, arugula, tomato, cucumber, feta cheese, pickled onions (recipe on my site!), feta cheese, Parsley & Feta dressing and a fresh lemon wedge. I also used fresh dill as a garnish!
Parsley & Feta Dressing:
Blend all ingredients in a blender or food processor. Place in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve. This is amazing on just about anything, to be honest!
Makes 4 servings.

Can’t believe my leftovers turned into this gorg Can’t believe my leftovers turned into this gorg salad in literally 5 minutes 😍 This Chicken Shawarma No-Dressing Salad is the perfect nourishing lunch to fuel you through the rest of your day. Not trying to throw shade but @cava has nothing on me 💅🏼
.
Heated up leftover Chicken Shawarma from @traderjoes but I also have a recipe on my blog! Base is romaine lettuce, cucumber and tomato. Topped with chicken shawarma (falafel would be great too), feta cheese, pickled red onion, crushed pita chips and some salt & pepper. I added tzatziki and red pepper hummus on the side (both from @traderjoes). This is perfect to act as a low cal/fat dressing! I also have a recipe for pickled onions on my blog- just add one thinly sliced red onion, 1 part water, 1 part apple cider vinegar, 1 part white vinegar (or just use all ACV), pinch of salt and a splash of maple syrup to a mason jar. I always keep these in my fridge and they’re ready in about an hour!

I was recently interviewed on @lizmoody’s podcas I was recently interviewed on @lizmoody’s podcast and when she asked about my tips for becoming more confident this one came to the top of my mind right away: Take a Selfie 🤩 Cute outfit, good lighting, whatever you need to feel super good about yourself. You can post your pics, share them with friends or just keep them for yourself on a day when you aren’t feeling your best. It’s important to feel comfortable and confident. Quite honestly, it’s the key to success in SO many aspects of life! ❤️

Was craving takeout vibes tonight so I made a big Was craving takeout vibes tonight so I made a big bowl of Sweet & Sour Shrimp with green beans and brown rice 🥡 Safe to say the spot has been hit. The sweet & sour sauce I made is sweetened with honey so there’s no refined sugar or artificial ingredients like the store bought or restaurant versions! Perfectly sweet with a little spice 😋 
.
Ingredients:
1 lb shrimp
1/4 cup soy sauce 
2 tbsp rice vinegar 
1/4 cup honey 
1 tbsp sriracha 
1 tsp sesame oil + more to cook the shrimp 
1/2 tsp red chili flakes 
2 cloves garlic, minced 
1 tbsp tapioca flour or arrowroot starch + 1/4 cup hot water (this thickens the sauce)
Veggies + rice to serve 
Instructions:
Whisk together all ingredients for the sauce except the tapioca flour + water mixture. 
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of sesame oil to coat the pan. Add in your shrimp and cook for a few minutes each side until it turns pink and is no longer translucent inside. 
Once the shrimp is just cooked, add the sauce mixture + flour mixture to the pan. Bring to a simmer until the sauce has thickened.
I used the same pan to saute some green beans with soy sauce and sriracha! Serve with brown rice. Makes 3-4 servings.

My go to snack or lunch lately has been these prot My go to snack or lunch lately has been these protein packed chicken nuggets 🤩 I keep them gluten free by using crushed up cheese crisps as the “breading,” but you can use any crushed up chip, cracker or even regular breadcrumbs! I’ve seen @shutthekaleup do something similar with crushed up plantain chips and it looks FIRE 🔥 Keep this recipe handy for any time you’re craving nugs!
.
Ingredients:
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken tenders, cut into bite sized pieces 
2 eggs, beaten 
1 bag @whispssnacks or any cracker or chip, crushed (I use the bottom of a glass to crush them while they’re still in the bag)
Avocado oil 
Ketchup or ranch to dip!
Instructions:
Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
Coat your chicken nuggets in the egg wash then “breading” one piece at a time. Set aside once coated.
Add a generous drizzle of oil to coat your pan and add the chicken nuggets once the pan and oil are hot.
Cook for about 3-4 minutes each side or until chicken is cooked through and crispy. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan and do 2 batches if needed. This ensures they get super crispy!
Dip in your sauce of choice and enjoy!
