When you smell this divine herbed chicken fresh off the grill, you may second guess yourself and wonder why you didn't make a double batch. No matter; there is always a second time around!
And the cold chicken leftovers can be used as an addition to breakfasts and salads all week long. Grilling seems to bring out all of the exciting flavors of oregano, parsley, basil, and onion - we'll just leave it at that. If you love chicken, this is definitely a spice mix to try.
We hear you thinking out loud, addressing your concern that white potatoes are surely not a Paleo food; however, if you compare their nutritional content with a sweet potato, they are pretty much in line with each other.
White potatoes contain more Vitamin C, 33% vs. 4% for a sweet potato, and sweet potatoes contain a significant amount of Vitamin A over their beloved counterparts.
One thing that white potatoes have going for them is that they have a little less fructose (plus they are readily available, even grown locally), so the carbs are more balanced between sugar and starch. Just be sure to consume them with a bit of healthy fat and protein, and all will be lovely in the kitchen and in the belly.
If you are in the mood for herbed grilled chicken tonight, yet you declare a different potato side, why not try some pesto mashed potatoes instead? And never forget the salad with leafy greens, for a bowl of mixed greens completes the meal at the beginning, the middle or the end.
