BBQ Chicken with Peach Salsa (Paleo, AIP)

BBQ Chicken with Peach Salsa - Paleo, AIP, nightshade-free

BBQ Chicken with Peach Salsa - Paleo, AIP, nightshade-free

This recipe for BBQ Chicken with Peach Salsa is the perfect way to celebrate Labor Day and the end of the summer season. The best part is that you get all of the flavors of traditional barbecue, but it’s completely AIP-friendly and nightshade-free!

I’m excited every time August rolls around because it’s “peach season” around here. Peaches provide a sense of nostalgia for me. We had a peach tree in our backyard when I was growing up. So every August we had a lot of ripe, juicy peaches at our fingertips. In fact, one of my favorite childhood memories is when my dad used to take us (the kids) to the beach and make us a special treat at the end of the afternoon: “sangria” made of chopped fresh peaches soaked in white wine.

Of course, these days, you’d probably have someone calling Social Services on us. But back in the 80s, no one blinked an eye, and we were just a group of kids innocently enjoying the freshest and juiciest of fruits. No, we never got drunk or tipsy (it was just a little bit of wine, after all), and it’s still one of my favorite summertime memories today. While I don’t drink wine or any kind of cocktails anymore (can we say “migraines,” everyone?), I still enjoy the taste and texture of peaches. They’ll forever remind me of my dad and my childhood: sun-drenched afternoons at the beach and those wonderful, lazy days of summertime fun.

So when it came time to develop another AIP-friendly and nightshade-free salsa recipe, peaches seemed like the perfect tomato substitute!

Of course, the key to the flavor in this recipe for BBQ Chicken with Peach Salsa is the barbecue flavored seasoning. Truthfully, I’m not a big poultry or meat eater (I force myself to eat this way because it keeps inflammation down in my body), so I’m always looking for ways to “mask” or add flavor to meat and poultry dishes. In other words, I have to trick myself into liking these foods.

(Note: this post contains affiliate links, which means if you click through and make a purchase, I may receive a commission, at no additional cost to you. To learn more, click here.)

Fortunately, I’ve discovered Paleo on the Go’s AIP-friendly Sweet & Smoky BBQ Rub, and it provides the delicious barbecue flavor for this BBQ Chicken with Peach Salsa recipe (for both the chicken and the salsa components). Actually, this rub is the perfect way to dress up any poultry or meat dish. It also adds a punch of flavor to vegan sides (like this peach salsa). Translation: this rub is versatile, and you can use it for pretty much any food to which you’d like to add a touch of “sweet” or “smoky.”

So here are my recipes for nightshade-free BBQ Chicken with Peach Salsa (separated into two individual recipes). Not only is this dish delicious, healthy, and easy to make, but it’s also Paleo and AIP friendly!

I hope you enjoy it!

Note to my readers: I originally labeled this recipe as Whole30-friendly. However, the BBQ rub contains coconut sugar, so this recipe is not actually Whole30 compliant (oops!). Sorry for any confusion!

#invisibledisabilitiesweek : This is me about thre #invisibledisabilitiesweek : This is me about three years ago at at a family party (here with my Auntie Agnes 💕). I woke up that morning and got ready, put on some makeup and had some color in my cheeks, went to the party and pretended everything was just fine. What nobody knew that day was that I was so weak and sick, I was secretly holding myself up by leaning on tables and chairs, so I could stand up and try to hold a normal conversation. The rest of the time, I found excuses to sit down and hoped that no one would notice how lousy I felt. My body had started experiencing a new Crohn’s flare, and I would end up in the hospital just a few days later. Just a few weeks after that, I’d end up in surgery and would get my ileostomy because we’d run out of options, and it was my only hope for survival (second pic was taken two days after surgery).
.
.
But on this day, nobody knew. I looked perfectly “normal.” This is how it is with invisible illness and invisible disability. In fact, every day is like this when living with chronic illness - experiencing ongoing symptoms of pain, weakness, and malaise that no one else can see.
.
.
We don’t share these stories because we are looking for pity or sympathy. We share for the purpose of awareness, to help others understand why that person who “looks fine” may need extra accommodations, medications, a disabled placard, or simply extra time to accomplish everyday tasks.
.
.
I still get self conscious when parking in a disabled spot, no matter how awful I might be feeling in that moment, for fear of judgement from those who can’t see my symptoms. 🙈 Please remember that we have no idea what someone else is going through simply by looking at them. Please remember to be kind!
.
.
It’s Invisible Disabilities Week, so I’ll be sharing more in my stories!

Hello friends! It’s been a while since I’ve po Hello friends! It’s been a while since I’ve posted, and I think it’s because I’ve been battling a lot of anxiety lately. While self-isolation is nothing new for me (thanks, Crohn’s! 👍😂), there’s the new added stress of being in the “high-risk” category and trying to avoid exposure to the virus, all while scrambling to find my regular necessities, food and medical supplies during this time (not just for myself but for my other high-risk family members). My symptoms are exacerbated with stress, and the last thing I want is to end up in the hospital and take up a bed that someone else will need. Meanwhile, for some reason, I’ve been more busy than ever (oh, how I long to be one of those bored people who make and post TikTok videos all day 😩).
.
.
But whenever I’m starting to feel overwhelmed, I’m able to gain some perspective when I think about all the healthcare workers and on the front lines, as well as all the essential workers (first responders, and grocery store workers, delivery workers, etc.) who are working feverishly to keep us all safe, healthy, and functioning as normally as possible. My thanks goes out to all of you in those categories, and well as to my friends and family who have offered us help with shopping and groceries during this time.
.
.
And I’m also grateful to those of you who are not necessarily high-risk but are taking all of this seriously by social distancing and sheltering in place. As a chronic illness warrior, I thank you!
.
.
Prayers and love to everyone struggling with anxiety or trying to make sense of this pandemic. The unknown is scary, but I find comfort in knowing there are so many caring people out there and the fact that we’re all in this together. 🙏🏻❤️

These are so easy to make and require only three ingredients: chocolate, coconut oil and of course, strawberries! .

I especially love using @equalexchange chocolate chips because they are allergen-friendly: soy-free and dairy-free plus organic and fair trade (not to mention immensely delicious)! Bonus: this recipe is both Paleo and vegan (I.e. sure to please just about everyone). ❤️
