Chicken burger with zucchini fries

I often prefer chicken over pork or beef, and I like to try out different alternatives for fries so today I decided to try to make chicken burgers with zucchini fries. It turned out really good so I wanted to share it with my viewers. This is what you need: 

~250g minced chicken (makes about 4 patties)

1 egg

1 shallot

~½ zucchini

1 tomato

1-2 buns

1 avocado

mayo

a few leaves of salad

potato starch

paprika powder

salt

chilli powder

lime juice

cheese

Chop up the shallot and mix it with the minced chicken together with the egg and one tablespoon and some salt, paprika powder and some chili powder. Make them into patties and fry them off in some oil. Cut the zucchini into thin strips, put them in a bowl with some salt, paprika powder and 2-3 tablespoons of potato starch. 

I accidentally forgot to take a photo of this step but mix an avocado with some mayo, salt and lime juice to make a dressing for the burger. 

Fry the zucchini in a pan with quite a lot of oil, almost as if you'd deep fry them. Let them sit in the oil for almost 5-10 minutes depending on the strips. As they start to get some color all over they are done and will be crispy. When they are done let them dry off on some paper to remove the excess oil.

Assemble the burger with the bun, the avocado mix and the preferred veggies for a burger. I also decided to have a slice of cheese on mine. Enjoy a tasty chicken burger with some nice crispy zucchini fries!

Chicken with fried potatoes and green pea sauce

This started as an experiment but ended as one of my tastiest dishes! This is what you need: 

1 chicken breast

2 dl green peas

1 dl frozen spinach

a few potatoes

1 shallot

2 small cloves of garlic

1 tbsp creme fraiche

1 slice of breas

salt

pepper

butter

Start by pitting the potatoes in a pan with water just covering them and some salt. Bring it to a boil and lower the heat so that the potatoes aren't hard boiling. Cut the chicken into bite size pieces and fry them in some butter together with a little bit of salt. 

Once the potatoes have finished cooking remove them from the water and slice them in halves, then fry them as well in a little bit of butter and salt. After that put the peas and spinach in some water and follow the packet instructions. I boiled the peas and the spinach together for a few minutes. 

When the peas are done cooking remove them from the water, chop up the shallot, and one of the cloves of garlic. Put them in a pan and fry them off for just a minute or two so that they get a bit fragrant. Put the peas and the spinach into the pan and remove from the heat. I used a stick blender to blend the peas, spinach, shallot and garlic together with the creme fraiche. If it's too thick you can add some water

Add salt and pepper to your taste. After that I decided to do some garlic bread, chop up the other garlic clove and then mix it with some butter and a little bit of salt, spread it on the bread and then fry it on both sides in a dry pan.

Alternatively you can do garlic bread in an oven if you have one! 

Plate it and enjoy some chicken with a great green creamy sauce.  

Quick avocado and tomato salad with feta

Avocado is one of the most delicious things I know of. It's got a lot of healthy oils, creamy and easy to pair with a lot of things. So today I decided to make a super easy avocado and tomato salad that can be served as a nice starter or an easy lunch. The things you need are:

a handful of cherry tomatoes

1 avocado

~ 75g feta

lime juice

pine nuts

parsley

green part of a spring onion

Start by putting some pine nuts in a dry pan. You're going to roast these off on medium/high heat until they get some color. You don't need to add any extra oil an these are really great if you are allergic to nuts because they are actually a seed. 

Once the pine nut is in a pan, they only need about a minute or two. Start cutting the tomatoes. I cut them in halves because I think that is enough but you can cut them into quarters if you want smaller pieces. Continue with the avocado and slice it into cubes, and then do the same with the feta. Chop up the parsley and the green part of the spring onion. This part has a mild flavor and is a great thing to use in a dish like this. 

Add it all into a bowl with some lime juice and, if you want, some salt, add in the pine nuts and give it a mix. You can eat it directly out of the bowl but I decided to plate it so it would look a bit nicer. 

Enjoy a healthy avocado and tomato salad with some feta and pine nuts!

Pesto and cheese filled chicken

This is a dish that you can play two ways, either you eat it with a nice salad or if you want to be a bit unhealthy you can eat it with fries or something along those lines. In any case this is for two people because I need lunch tomorrow :)

This is what you need

2 chicken filets

1 pack of bacon (~140 g)

2 tsp Philadelphia (cream cheese)

6 tsp pesto 

2 cloves of garlic

grated cheese

parsley

salt

oil

Start by mixing the cream cheese, pesto and grated cheese together in a bowl with a little salt. Slice an opening into the chicken and fill it with the pesto mix.

When  you've filled the chicken as much as you want wire the bacon around the filled chicken. Smash the garlic and slice it up a tiny bit. Place the chicken in a pan with a tiny splash of oil  and fry it on medium heat for about 15-20 min, flipping them over a few times so that they get fried on both sides. 

When the bacon and chicken is starting to get some color and you think that it's starting to get done you can slice in the thicker parts of the filet to see if its done. Remember any piece of chicken should never be pink when you've cooked it.

Serve it with a nice salad or what you prefer! 

Super easy nachoplate

I'm sorry for being absent for a week but school is really catching up on me, and since I am a student, school always comes first. However I'm coming back with a really simple recipe. Nachos are the best, the combination of everything is so tasty and this one is super simple, this is what you need

~200 g minced meat

1-2 avocados depending on size

2 tomatoes

salad

1 clove of garlic

1 shallot

nacho chips

grated cheese

sour cream

lime juice

Staart by putting the meat in a pan to fry it off. While that is getting fried you can start on the guacamole. Mince the shallot, garlic and one of the tomatoes and add it into a bowl together with the mashed avocado and lime juice. Add about 1 tablespoon of sour cream and some salt. Blend and you have an easy guac. When the meat has been cooked, add any flavor you like, I used a premixed blend for taco meat.

Arrange some nachos to cover a plate, spread out some meat and some grated cheese and put in a microwave for 2 minutes or until the cheese has melted. 

After that just tare some salad leaves apart, slice up the other tomato and add it onto the plate together with some sour cream and also some guacamole. Serve it and enjoy a super easy nachoplate!

♥ Banana valentine ♥

Today is valentines day and something that is nice to start the day with is pancakes! Super easy ones are banana pancakes! Since you should celebrate valentines with an other person this recipe is calculated for two people, and this is what you need: 

2-3 bananas depending on size, if they are small use 3

4 eggs

100 g white chocolate

vanilla ice cream 

heart shaped sprinkles

This recipe isn't very healthy, given that it's served with both ice cream and chocolate. However the pancakes themselves are really easy to make and doesn't contain any excess sugar except for what's in the banana. Start with mashing the bananas into a bowl. Mix in the eggs and mix to an even batter.

Put some oil or butter into a pan, you can also use coconut butter in the pan if you want to, it adds some nice extra taste. Fry them in a pan on medium/high heat just like you would with regular pancakes and turn them over once to fry on both sides. 

When they are done place them on a plate. Melt the withe chocolate in a micro wave or in a hot water bath. Place some ice cream on the pancakes, drizzle the white chocolate over the pancakes and finish of with sprinkling some heart shaped sprinkles over the pancakes. 

Enjoy and serve your company a sweet valentines breakfast! 

3 sweet yummy smoothies

Since I've been away for a bit and not uploading so much I decided to make it up to you by uploading three recipes in one. All of these three are yummy smoothies that are somewhat healthy! The three different ones are Mango-Orange-Mint, Kiwi-Cucumber-Lime and lastly Papaya-Orange-Lime

All of these three are really yummy and the ingredients are: 

Mango-Orange-Mint:

1 mango 

½ orange

some mint leaves

½ dl milk

2 tablespoon scoops vanilla ice cream

Kiwi-Cucumber-Lime

2 kiwi fruits

¼ cucumber

½ lime

½ dl milk

2 tablespoon scoops vanilla ice cream

Papaya-Orange-Lime

½ papaya

1 orange

½ lime

1 dl milk

2 tablespoon scoops vanilla ice cream

For the Mango-Orange-Mint one start by peeling the mango and remove the stone, slice it into smaller pieces. Peel the orange, make sure there are as little of the white part left of the orange. My recommendation is that you use a knife to slice it. Tare some mint leaves in half. I used about 5-6 leaves, but it is a bit depending on how strong you want the flavour of them to be.

Add it all into a blender, together with the milk and the ice cream and blend until smooth! Serve with a sprig of mint and enjoy!

For the Kiwi-Cucumber-Lime one start by peeling the kiwi, I know that you can eat the peel, but it doesn't taste so good in the smoothie. Cut the kiwi fruits into smaller pieces. Continue doing the same with the cucumber, only you don't have to peel that one.

Add it all into a blender together with the juice of ½ lime and the milk and the ice cream and blend until smooth. Since the kiwi seeds are going in there as well the drink might be a bit grainy but that doesn't change the wonderful fresh taste. Serve with a lime wedge and enjoy! 

For the last, Papaya-Orange-Lime one start by cutting the papaya in half, you can store the other half in some cling-film in the fridge for 1-2 days. Cut the papaya into smaller pieces. Peel the orange, as previously mentioned it might be easier using a knife.

Put it all into a blender together with the lime juice of ½ lime. Lime and papaya works wonderfully together since papaya only has a mild flavor. The lime helps bring that flavor out. Add the milk and the ice cream and blend until smooth. Since papaya is quite a hard fruit the drink might turn out slightly grainy, however, the tropical flavour of the drink is well worth it. Serve and enjoy
