Low Histamine Mango Chicken Salad Bowl

April 26, 2018 by taniasurrow 2 Comments

Low Histamine Mango Chicken Salad Bowl

It has been a crazy couple of weeks, between me starting my new assignment and my youngest turning 3, there hasn’t been a lot of extra time or energy to spare. But today I finally had some quiet time to sit down and write this recipe post 😀 The recipe for this Low Histamine Mango Chicken Salad Bowl is really simple, as most salad recipes are 😉 I hope you will enjoy it \o/

Low Histamine Mango Chicken Salad Bowl

So here it goes…. Start with cutting up the chicken into bite size pieces. Mix together the ingredients for the marinade and add the chicken and give it a good stir, so that all the chicken is covered in the marinade. Set aside, and let the flavors seep into the meat while you get the rest of the ingredients ready. Boil the whole grain spelt in about twice the volume water/bouillon/stock. It needs about 10-12 minutes, then pour out any excess water, and let it stand without the lid on to steam off and cool down a bit. Chop up the green herbs and mix it with the spelt once the spelt has cooled down to somewhere between room temperature and body temperature.

While the spelt is cooking (and cooling down), clean and prepare the carrots and the asparagus. Slice up the carrots into thin slices or use the peeler to make long thin carrot ribbons like I did. Remove the wooden end of the green asparagus (Just bend them and they will snap naturally where the wooden part starts). Cut them into bite size pieces and grill them on a dry grilling pan just long enough that the green color turns even more vibrant. Peel the mango and cut it into little cubes. Add the chicken to a frying pan and cook them over medium heat until the chicken pieces are golden and cooked through. Plate it all up and enjoy 😀

  • 1–2 big handful arugula
  • 1 handful parsley
  • 100 g whole grain spelt (1 ½ dl/ 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp / 3.5 oz)*
  • 300 ml water/bouillon/bone broth/vegetable stock (1 1/4 cup)*
  • 100–200 g chicken

Marinade (enough for 200 g chicken):

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp sweet paprika*
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cut up the chicken into bite size pieces.
  2. Mix together the ingredients for the marinade, add the chicken and give it a good stir, so that all the chicken is covered in the marinade. Set aside, and let the flavors seep into the meat.
  3. Bring the water/bouillon/stock to a boil and add the whole grain spelt. Let it simmer for about 10-12 minutes, then pour out any excess water, and let it stand without the lid on to steam off and cool down a bit.
  4. Clean the carrots and slice them up into thin slices or use the peeler to make long thin carrot ribbons like I did.
  5. Remove the wooden end of the green asparagus (just bend them and they will snap naturally where the wooden part starts), and cut them into bite size pieces. Grill the asparagus on a dry grilling pan just long enough that the green color turns even more vibrant.
  6. Peel the mango and cut it into little cubes.
  7. Add the chicken to a frying pan and cook them over medium heat until the chicken pieces are golden and cooked through.
  8. Chop up the green herbs and mix it with the spelt once the spelt has cooled down to somewhere between room temperature and body temperature.

Notes

  • If you can’t find whole grain spelt, you can use quinoa, bulgur (wheat) or couscous. Couscous is available in different types, wheat, spelt and gluten free. I sometimes buy a gluten free couscous which is based on rice and corn. If you want to make this recipe grain free you can simply leave out the spelt or replace it with some lentils (if tolerated).
  • You can cook the spelt in plain water, a tolerate bouillon, Homemade Bone Broth or Low Histamine Vegetable Stock.
  • If you are nightshade free, you can replace the sweet paprika with some turmeric
