Chicken Marbella
This post is sponsored by the California Dried Plums. All thoughts and opinions are my own. So many goals and resolutions this time of year are all about taking away - "lose weight", "cut out sugar", "eat less junk". All of these only serve to demonize food and larger bodies. To me, part of healing our relationship with food and our bodies is about recognizing the nourishing power of all foods, and that food is much more than health. So what does that look like? It might mean trying new foods, flavours, and recipes, or finding out more about the different foods that we eat. For example, did you know that prunes are not only good for digestive health, but bone health as well? One study showed that eating a serving of about five prunes (40 g) a day can prevent bone loss. Prunes are not your grandmother's food anymore! Try them in this Mediterranean-inspired chicken recipe that combines savoury and sweet. This recipe freezes well, or can be halved for feeding a smaller group.
