EASY, EASY, EASY! TIt tastes just like rotisserie chicken – crispy on the outside and extra juicy on the inside. The difference is that when you go to the grocery store to pick up a rotisserie chicken, it is most likely NOT organic, free-range chicken. However, it is a go-to for busy people. I encourage you to try this recipe. It takes 1 minute to assemble the ingredients (all 3 of them) and that’s it! Put it in the crockpot in the morning and come home to a delicious meal.

1 free range, organic chicken cut into pieces (I was able to get a grill pack from Sprouts which is a whole, free range, organic chicken, already cut into pieces. Price on 3/7/17 was $18.49)
sea salt
fresh cracked black pepper
Do not add any liquid!
Place the chicken pieces in one layer in the crockpot. Sprinkle VERY generously with sea salt and pepper. Set to LOW and cook for 7 hours.
2 lbs grass fed ground beef
1 head organic cauliflower, cut into florets
5-6 organic carrots, chopped into coins
2 organic onions, chopped into chunks
3 stalks organic celery, chopped into chunks
1-2 organic red or green bell peppers, chopped into chunks
salt, pepper
garlic powder
oregano
organic butter
Liquid Aminos or Worchestershire Sauce (check ingredients)
Aluminum Foil
Parchment Paper
Optional: You can mix and match meats and vegetables.
organic mushrooms
organic red potatoes, cubed
sweet potatoes, cubed
parsnips, cubed
fennel, sliced
organic zucchini, cubed
Replace ground beef burgers with chicken
Add some salt, pepper and garlic powder to the ground beef and form into patties (you can make them as big or small as you want). Set aside.
Tear aluminum foil into squares big enough to fold into packets. Cut parchment paper to the same size as a lining to the aluminum foil (you don’t want the aluminum touching your food!)
Assemble the veggies on the parchment/foil squares. Top with burger patties and sprinkle with more salt, pepper, garlic, liquid aminos, oregano and any other seasonings you would like. Add a pat or two of butter and fold up the packets so that they won’t leak. Put the packets on a baking tray.
Cook at 350 degrees for 45 – 60 minutes.
Be careful opening! Steam is hot!
This is a quick and easy meal that has a beautiful presentation. Kids and adults will love this dish. It is great served with sautéed bok choy w/ ginger and brown rice or cauliflower rice. You can make this advanced plan by leaving out the honey.
Core Plan
Serves 2
1 clove of garlic, minced
1 inch piece of ginger, microplaned
1 lime (zested and juiced)1 tablepsoon honey
3 tablespoons coconut aminos or liquid aminos
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 wild caught salmon fillets, cut into 1” chunks
1 tablespoon sesame seeds , optional
mini bamboo skewers
Soak mini bamboo skewers in water for 30+ minutes to prevent burning.
Prepare the marinade by combining the garlic, ginger, ½ of the zest, ½ of the juice (you can save the remaining for rice, veggies, or other use), coconut aminos, honey, and olive oil. Add the salmon chunks and carefully coat with marinade. Marinate at least 15 minutes.
Skewer the salmon onto bamboo skewers and grill on an outdoor or indoor grill pan for 8-10 minutes, turning frequently and basting with remaining marinade.
Toast sesame seeds in a dry pan, if desired and sprinkle over salmon and serve.
I am always looking for new ways to prepare my extra stores of grass-fed ground beef. I played with ingredients and flavors to come up with a great tex-mex style dish using the Advanced Plan cornbread recipe for a topping. This would be a great dish for a potluck as well. It is also very versatile since you can leave out or add any veggies you have on hand or make it a completely vegetarian dish by leaving out the beef.
Advanced & Core Plan
Serves 4-6 depending on serving size
1 tbsp chili powder
1½ tsp ground cumin
1 tsp high quality sweet paprika (preferably smoked)
½ tsp cayenne pepper, more to taste if desired
1¼ tsp sea salt
½ tsp ground coriander (optional and preferably fresh)
2 lbs grass fed ground beef
½ red onion, diced
½ organic zucchini, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 organic bell pepper, diced
1 jalapeño, seeded and diced (optional)
fine-grain sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 large tomato, seeded and diced or 1 (14-ounce) can diced tomatoes, with their juices
1 cup tomato sauce or tomato puree
2ish cups chopped kale leaves or baby spinach
1 can sliced black olives, (save a handful for topping)
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 teaspoon arrowroot powder + ¼ cup filtered water
OPTIONAL TOPPINGS:
Sliced green onions
Salsa
Avocado
Raw Cheese
Brown the grass fed ground beef with the onions, zucchini, garlic, and bell pepper. Meanwhile, mix the chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and coriander in a small bowl. When beef is browned and vegetables are softened, drain any excess grease from the pan. Add in jalapeño, salt/pepper, tomato and tomato sauce, kale, black olives, and black beans. Mix the arrowroot powder with filtered water and mix well then add to the pan and mix all ingredients.
Transfer the mixture to a large cast iron pan or glass baking dish. Top with Corn-less Cornbread mixture and bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees or until cornbread is browned around the edges.
