1 pound ground chicken
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 large carrots diced
3 stalks celery diced
1 medium yellow onion diced
2 cups green beans chopped into bite size pieces
2 zucchini diced
2 cups spinach
2 medium white sweet potatoes diced
3 garlic cloves minced
16 oz diced tomatoes
3 oz can tomato paste
4 cups chicken broth
2 cups water
1 Tbsp Oregano
1/2 Tbsp Thyme
2 Bay leaves
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1 box Jovial Grain Free Pasta I like shells or macaroni shaped (can also use Banza pasta)

Heat a large pot to medium and add olive oil. Brown the ground chicken in a pan until cooked through.
To the same pot, add the carrots, celery, onion, green beans, and garlic to saute.
Once chicken and veggies are combined, add the rest of the ingredients, except the pasta.
Bring to a boil and let cook until potatoes are fork-tender then decrease the heat. This should take about 20 minutes.
In the meantime cook your pasta according to the directions on the package.
Once potatoes are cooked through or fork tender, add the pasta to the pot.
Serve and enjoy!

I use ground chicken, but it is also good with and ground meat you like
If you are doing the Whole30, just leave out the grain-free pasta and add a few more potatoes- it is still delicious
If you want "real" pasta- then go for it! Same with beans, this doesn't have to be only Paleo
Make a double batch because this is a great freezer meal down the road
If you can't find white sweet potatoes- feel free to use any potato you like! This is also really good with Yukon gold potatoes.
You can cook this in your InstantPot too! Saute all your veggies and chicken, minus potatoes and spinach, then throw everything in your InstantPot and cook on high pressure for 8 minutes.
