Crock Pot Chicken Recipes- Lemon Garlic Chicken

September 9, 2015 By Gwen Brown 10 Comments

AMAZING lick the bowl low carb hummus that works for Paleo or THM style eating. Plus a genius tip to make it a convenience food!

I first tasted this low carb hummus recipe while on a retreat with my friend Kim. We both brought healthy low glycemic goodies to a conference that we attended, but THIS is what stole the show. I know…it’s hummus. And it’s vegan, Paleo, and low carb, so it really barely sounds edible. But give it…
