MINTED QUINOA CHICKEN BURGER W/ROASTED RED POTATOES

Time: 20 Minutes
Yield: 2 Chicken Burger Meals
(9 Item Recipe)

Ingredients:

1/2 Organic Chicken Breast, Ground
1/2 Medium Organic Onion, diced
1/4 Cup Fresh, Organic Mint
1/2 Cup Organic Quinoa, cooked and cooled
4 Medium Organic Red Potatoes, chopped pan seared
2 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 Organic Sprouted Grain Buns
1/2 Cup Organic Mixed Greens
2 Slices of Organic Tomato

Directions:

In preheated pan on medium heat, take olive oil and potatoes, cook until soft and golden.  Approximately 20 minutes.

In food processor take onion and mint and pulse until finely chopped.  Take out of the food processor and separate into two servings.  Take half the mixture and put in a medium size bowl.  Add ground chicken and cooled quinoa to the mixture.  After mixing together form two balls to make two patties.  Slice up your mixed greens, tomatoes, and remaining mixture of onions and mint so they are ready to make up your burger when done.

In preheated pan on medium heat cook chicken burgers on each side approximately 5 minutes per side until chicken runs clear.  You may need less time depending on the level of heat your burner puts out.  When chicken patty is done put it on the bun top with onion mint mixture on one side and lettuce and tomato on the other side.  Add the roasted red potatoes to the plate and add sea salt and pepper to taste.

Note:

This meal runs under $3 per plate.
Super affordable, healthy and delicious.

1 teaspoon organic vanilla extract
1 pound organic strawberries, stems and tops removed, halved
1 1/2 Cups Organic Blueberries

Soak cashews in a bowl for 4 hours or overnight.  Drain any excess water.  In a food processor combine vanilla, dates & 1/2 Cup warm purified alkalized antioxidant water pulsing until smooth cream consistency forms. In a large bowl take blueberries, strawberries and mint tossing together.  Serve the cream either on top of the berry mixture or in a separate serving bowl.

Note:

This beautiful and antioxidant rich dessert is a loved favorite in our family.  We love to serve it family style in a big bowl on the table much like you would a salad.  Kids love the cashew cream topping and it is always a hit with company. It is a super pretty dish to serve when you have guests over.  You can serve it in a dish, bowl, mug or glass topped with the cashew cream. We soak our cashews the night before we want to make the berry mixture so we don’t have to wait the 4 hours on the day we want to make it.
