Making that viral high-protein crockpot marry me chicken, but with a hormone-supportive upgrade. 🍲✨ When you’re navigating PCOS and prepping your body to conceive, keeping blood sugar steady and getting in nutrient-dense protein is everything. Swapping in chicken thighs gives you extra iron, zinc, and healthy fats, while bone broth brings in glycine and gut-supporting amino acids for that uterine lining. I left out the red pepper flakes so Mila could eat dinner right along with us, and divided the rest into 8 meal prep containers for easy grab-and-go lunches. 🤍 Ingredients (Makes 8 servings):** • 2.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs • 1 cup organic chicken bone broth • 1 small onion, diced • 4 tsp minced garlic • 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped • 1 tbsp paprika • 1 tbsp garlic powder • 1.5 tbsp Italian seasoning • Salt & black pepper, to taste • 1 tsp red pepper flakes (optional — omit for toddlers!) High-Protein Cream Sauce: • 1 cup 2% cottage cheese (200g) • 1 cup 0% plain Greek yogurt (240g) • 1 tsp onion powder • 1 tsp garlic powder • 2–4 tbsp warm bone broth from the crockpot Stir-ins: • 2 cups freshly grated parmesan (200g) • 2–3 cups fresh baby spinach • 2.5 cups dry jasmine rice (cooked) Instructions: Add chicken thighs, bone broth, onion, garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, and seasonings (plus red pepper flakes if using) to the crockpot. Cook on LOW for 6 hours (or HIGH for 3–4 hours). Shred the chicken directly in the pot. Blend the sauce ingredients with a splash of the warm broth until completely smooth, then pour into the crockpot. Stir in parmesan and baby spinach until melted and wilted. Fold in cooked jasmine rice, stir until creamy, and divide into 8 containers!
