Ground Chicken with Garlic, Onions, and Parsley

This is a remake of an old favorite, it’s easy, and I love it. I switched the meat and some of the spices, but the cooking method is the same as my Garlic Beef and Onions with Green Beans. This rendition has the tastes of Chicken Kiev but is way easier to make and no breadcrumbs needed. Enjoy!

Ground Chicken with Garlic, Onions, and ParsleyIMG_20191223_182701

  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 5 cloves of fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock
  • 2 tablespoons parsley
  • 2 teaspoons salt (or to taste)

Add avocado oil to a skillet on medium heat. Then add the onion and cook for 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute. Add the ground chicken and crumble. When the chicken is almost white, pour in the chicken stock and turn up the heat to medium high or until it begins to simmer. Add the salt and parsley. Cook until the broth cooks down or about 20 minutes.

Pear (Pan)cakes

It was at a wine tasting when Nick and I started talking about my pear cake. It’s an almond flour-based cake full of fresh, ripe pears, and it’s one of our favorites. The thing is, I don’t have an oven right now.

So I decided to make these pear (pan)cakes and they were a delicious substitute. The fresh pear shined through the dish and it was warm and cake-like.

Pear (Pan)cakespear pancakes.jpg

  • 2 pears, cored and smashed
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 cup almond meal/flour
  • avocado oil
  • 1 pear for topping
  • cinnamon
  • honey

Mix the two pears with the eggs, cinnamon, salt, and almond flour. Add the oil to a skillet pan on medium heat and cook your pancakes. (I like them extra crispy on the edges.

Top with sliced pears, a drizzle of honey, and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
