So today I decided to branch out from my (what has now become the norm) meals of stirfried chicken with cabbage and spinach (done in no oil, of course).
This is what I came up with.
Ingredients:
chicken mince
grated onions
grated carrots
finely cut spinach
finely cut cabbage
fresh coriander
garlic
salt & pepper to taste
ground flaxseeds
*lettuce
*sweet chilli sauce
* raw, unsalted peanuts
I have not added quantities, as I usually just do a hit and miss. If you particularly like spinach, add more. If not, add less. I add flaxseeds where I can as I believe them to be super good for you. Be sure to grind them though, otherwise your body cannot digest the goodness.
I just mixed all the ingredients together in a bowl, then shaped into little patties. Myself, I enjoy food to be close to their natural state, so I did not pre-cook anything. You may choose to pre-cook your onions or other veg here.
You can vary the mixture as you wish. Perhaps a dash of cayenne pepper (I kept mine simple as I want my baby to eat them).
Adding crushed nuts to your mixture would probably work very well, but I chose to keep the calories down, thus avoiding that.
I sprayed my nonstick pan with a thin coating of "weighless cook and spray". Then cook your patties at a low heat until golden brown, and cooked through. This took about ten minutes.
To serve I took a large lettuce leaf, added a dollop of Sweet Chilli Sauce, placed the patties on top. Sprinkled some of the raw peanuts on top (couldn't resist). Fold the lettuce leave over to create a nice little "packet" and voila! Super healthy, low fat, delicious chicken fold-over!
Will add pics soon (my daughter has hidden the card for my camera!)
