Ingredients 

  • 1.5 lbs ground chicken

  • 1 small onion, diced small
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 red chile, dried flakes or fresh, chopped (and de-seeded)
  • zest of 1 small fresh lime
  • 1 Tbsp fish sauce, optional
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 2 Tbsp oil, divided (I like to use 1 Tbsp each of coconut oil & sesame, or olive oil)

Serving ideas:

  • Butter lettuce leaves
  • Carrot swirls, (use vegetable peeler)
  • Scallions, sliced
  • Purple lettuce, thinly sliced
  • Cucumber swirls, use vegetable peeler
  • Sesame seeds
  • Liquid aminos, or coconut aminos
  • Freshly sliced lime

Instructions 

  • In large frying pan, over medium heat, heat 1/2 of the cooking oil, then sauté spinach, cilantro, onion, garlic, ginger, & chile. About 3 minutes. Set aside.
  • In same pan, brown ground chicken using the other 1/2 of the cooking oil, drain grease. Add previously sautéed veggies back in, along with the fish sauce, lime zest, and salt. Toss, stir to warm & combine.
