Paleo Chicken and Spinach Stuffed Mushrooms
When life hands you mushrooms the size of a toddler’s palm, you stuff those bad boys with pure plant-based fabulousness. This isn’t your sad, soggy side dish — it’s a flavor bomb wrapped in a guilt-free mushroom shell. We ditched the cluck-cluck and brought in seasoned veggie protein so tasty, even the most carnivorous dinner guest won’t notice. Plus, spinach is in there doing the whole “I’m healthy” thing. It’s Paleo, it’s vegan, and it’s giving appetizer goddess energy. Prep it, bake it, serve it hot — preferably while wearing something with pockets.
