Happy Sunday Chicken Apple Sausage and Slaw

4 Comments

Words just can’t describe… Crazy Freaking Good (or maybe I just need a bigger vocabulary….)

Either way… you should totally make this dish and dig in. : )  I’ve adapted this recipe a million times from many different recipes, and can’t remember it’s origin, so if it looks familiar to you… speak up and I’ll give credit where credit is due. : )

 

Chicken Apple Sausage:

  • 2 pounds of ground chicken, turkey, or a combo of both (go for organic)
  • 8-10 TBL Chicken Broth
  • 8-10 TBL Apple Juice
  • 1 apple chopped up
  • 1 onion chopped up
  • a few cloves of garlic pressed (I use a ton…. love garlic!)
  • Blend of spices 1tsp each: Garlic Powder, Minced Onion, Cinnamon, and Cayenne to taste.

Mix it all up and cook it in a skillet with a little coconut oil.

Apple Slaw:

  • 1/2 small head of white cabbage sliced thinly
  • 1/4 small head of purple cabbage sliced thinly (and if you suck at cutting cabbage like I do… buy it in a bag and save yourself some grief : ))
  • 2 apples chopped up

The above should give you a BIG BOWL cabbage… enough for at least 6-8 servings.

  • Juice of 2 lemons (1/4 cup-ish?)
  • Same amount of Raw, Unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar (I like  Bragg’s)
  • Blend of spices 1tsp each:  Garlic Powder, Cinnamon, Mustard Powder
  • Possibly salt and pepper to taste

Mix it all up!  The longer it sits and marinates, the better (always more yummy the 2nd and 3rd day!)  Before eating, chop up a heap of green onions and cilantro and mix it all up.

I found this recipe on foodee.com It was so simple and delicious!

You can find this recipe at right here!  I grabbed it from Foodee.com.  I hope you are also using some of the food blogs, too!  So many great ideas, you don’t even have to be creative if you don’t want to.  On this particular night, I was in the mood for a different recipe.

 

I believe I baked the broccoli, which is probably my favorite way to eat it.  First, drizzle a little Olive Oil all over the broccoli in a bowl and mix it all up.  season with salt and pepper.  pop into a pan and in the oven at 350? for 15-20ish minutes.  I think it’s done when the broccoli is bright green with a little browning on the top.

 

Dig in!

So I followed my own advice and tried something new.

It took a while to make, only because I’ve never made it before.  But overall… a fabulous dish.  Here are the juicy details:

 

1.  Sautee some onion and garlic in a little oil (I also added lemon juice).  Add a ton of spinach and cook just a little longer.  Then I added a splash of Apple Cider Vinegar (My new favorite kitchen staple!) Set aside

2. Use almond flour (i don’t know… 1/4 cup?), Tsp of: garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and a little salt and pepper).  Put it all in a bowl.

3.  Take some chicken breast, and beat it until it’s thin (I measured out 4 oz portions).  Dip Chicken in chicken broth (you could use egg whites), then coat with flour mixture.

4. Stuff the chicken with the slightly cooked spinach, roll it up, and put it in the oven at 375? for maybe 20 minutes.  (obviously… check for done-ness)

Okay… you could be finished there, or you could make this super yummy tomoato-y sauce that I put together to go on top of the cooked chicken dish.

Sautee lemon juice, 1-2 Tbl onion, a little minced garlic, 3 Tbl tomato paste.  Add a little Apple Cider Vinegar and as much Chicken Broth as you want depending on how “liquid-y” you like it.  Then add a ton of Chopped up basil.  I think my concoction got up to a boil (by accident), and then I let it simmer.  Not sure if the boiling’s necessary.

This dish rocked!  Dig in!
