Asian Veggie Chicken Poppers (AIP/Low FODMAP option)

CLEAN INGREDIENT FOODS

I first came across the Simple Squares organic snack bars in my Monthly Subscription Box from Paleo by Maileo. It was the Sage flavor and at first I was pretty hesitant to try it based on the flavor. I checked out the ingredients (Organic Cashews, Organic Almonds, Organic Honey, Organic Unsweetened Coconut, Organic Vanilla, Sea Salt, Organic Sage ) and couldn’t believe how clean they were. I opened the package and took a bite not knowing what to expect. WOW! The flavor, the texture everything was spot on. I was instantly hooked. My kids loved them too. Double win!!I love supporting companies that provide genuinely nutritious food without added unneeded/unwanted ingredients. I wanted to come up with some fun out of the ordinary recipes using their bars. This one was a hit in my book. I hope you try it and find it just as addicting as I did.

3. Roll into smaller sized balls and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. The size and shape will depend on your preference. You can make them the size of a burger patty or small balls for appetizers.

4. Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes depending on size.

5. Combine ingredients for the sauce in a small bowl and whisk with a fork until combined.

6. Once poppers are done cooking and cooled serve with sauce and enjoy! You can serve them on your favorite paleo bun, over a bed of greens, over veggie noodles, or on their own with the sauce for dipping. The possibilities are endless.
