My mother came to visit this weekend. She was able to stay a few days and while here, got to reading Loren Cordain's Paleo Diet Cookbook. She made this last night and it was awesome! This is our take on his recipe Chick-Veggie Heaven
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 small yellow onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 large carrot, cut into matchsticks
8 ounces leftover chicken, shredded
8 ounces fresh, raw spinach
Juice from ½ lemon
We added a couple strips of chopped bacon for even more flavor and a handful of chopped mushrooms we had in the fridge.
The recipe calls for 8 ounces of fresh asparagus also if you wish to add.
In a cast iron skillet over medium flame, saute onion and garlic for about five minutes or until tender. Add asparagus and carrot and continue to saute for an additional five minutes. Mix in chicken and stir for one minute.
Fold in spinach, remove from heat, and cover. Spinach will wilt from the steam. Remove cover and drizzle mixture with fresh lemon juice.
Apologies for the poor picture quality. I snapped it on my phone before I quickly scarfed this down!
