A Bowl of Detox Chicken & Pineapple Broth Bowl

The holiday indulgences can leave one feeling rather sluggish and in need of a reset! A great way to detox your body in the winter months, is to include light, warming soups with thermogenic spices in your diet.

Chicken and pineapple together in a dish might sound like a rather odd combination; trust me, paired with spicy and salty Asian flavors, this warming soup is always a hit!

Pineapple is loaded with anti-inflammatory bromelain, and the healing spices ginger, lemon grass and chili.

This delicious recipe was prepared live on the Charlotte Today Show, showcasing my Clean 15 Detox Program

The healing power of chicken broth is well known, collagen, proline and glycine help to heal and seal the gut. My recipe for Roasted Chicken Broth will make the extra step of making your own homemade chicken broth worthwhile!

Notes

There are many methods to make chicken broth, all of which yield great results.

  • The first is to use a whole raw chicken, and simmer that, I prefer to strip off the chicken breast and use it in another recipe.
  • The second is to use dark meat chicken parts or carcasses, roast those in a 450F oven with no oil until well browned about 45 minutes to an hour, this makes ‘express’ stock as it cooks faster.
  • The third is to use the carcasses saved from roast chicken.
  • Any combination of the above will work.
