Thank you for doing this, Cheeseslave!!!! I love sharing recipes! I love GARLIC. With LEMON. With Spinach. So last night, we had Italian Chicken (adapted from a recipe at Allrecipes if you want to look it up.) I baked 6 organic chicken breasts with a sauce of olive oil, onions, garlic, oregano, apple cider vinegar and juice on one lemon. Sprinkled with HImalayan sea salt and pepper, basting chicken periodically for the hour it bakes. (I fry potatoes in coconut oil to serve with it. Really yummy!) Anyway, the recipe I want to share is easy to adapt. But I cut up the leftover chicken from last night (so I get two meals out of one), frying it in a little coconut oil and leftover sauce. I then turned off the heat and threw in about a handful of fresh baby spinach. My daughter made some organic orzo (but you could use any kind of small noodle). We stirred the orzo into the spinach chicken mixture. Wow. It was sooooo good! I sprinkled parmesan on the top of mine. I don't know exactly how much the recipe cost but since I re-used the sauce and made sure the leftover chicken was used up, I feel like it was pretty frugal. Another easy way to be frugal is to make "rubber chicken." Roast an organic chicken one night. Then, throw the carcass into a pot with water to make soup! Simmer 24 hours optimally. The great thing is, you can vary the type of soup you make by the flavor/herbs of your roast chicken. My kids love curry chicken which turns into curried chicken soup. Italian or Greek chicken can become an Italian wedding-type soup with spinach, garlic and lemon. And homemade soup is soooooooo good for you! And deliciously warming this time of year! |
