The ultimate cozy dish! Simple paleo chicken chili loaded with veggies and flavor, and topped with fluffy almond flour biscuits. Heaven!

Happy Monday! I hope you guys are having the best start to your week! Not gonna lie, mine is off to a slow one. I really can’t remember the last time I had some time off- I’ve been busy working through the weekends since launching my new site! I needed a little breather today, but wanted to at least get this goodness up on the blog today!

Yesterday was also my launch party with lululemon Chicago, and it was SO much fun! I’m feeling so incredibly thankful for all the changes taking place the past few months, and I was so happy to get to meet some of my followers at the party! The support since my rebrand has been so positive and overwhelmingly kind :). I just love you guys!!

Feeling sappy, but back to this yummy dish!

This time of year truly all I crave is warm, simple comfort food with healthy twists. This dish uses my easy chicken chili as a base (my favorite weeknight meal), with just a few tweaks. It gets topped with superrrr delish grain free biscuits. Does not get cozier than that!

I love this chili because it has tons of veggies in it, plus some good protein of course! Loaded with zucchini, bell pepper, and cauliflower rice. So many different nutrients in one meal!

Super excited for you guys to try this biscuit topped chili! Can’t wait to hear what you think!

If you make this, be sure to tag me on Instagram so I can see how it turned out :)!
