Shawarma spiced chicken and red onion with steamed vegetables

Making:

Shawarma spice, chicken and red onion with steamed broccoli & carrots 

1 serving prepared 

Here's what I have:


1.2 oz Beet
3.8 oz Chicken
3.2 oz Carrot
3.6 oz Red onion
4.1 oz Broccoli
1/2 tbsp Shawarma spice
0.3 oz Bacon butter 
1 tsp Honey
1 tsp Lemon juice 
1/2 tsp Butter 

Preparation:

To start I got a pot of water boiling so I could steam the vegetables. Once the water was to boiling temperature I put the vegetables in a steamer basket. A 15 min timer was set.

Next, the bacon butter was melted in a non-stick pan. The Red Onion was cooked until ig was going clear then I added the chicken. After about 4 mims I added the Shawarma spice along with the honey/lemon then stirred everything together. The lid was placed over the chicken onion mix and the heat turned to medium low to cook for the remainder of the veggie steam time. 

Once the vegetable timer went off I removed them from the stove and butter was added to them. The heat was turned up on the chicken and the liquids were reduced until mostly gone. It had a slight gravy consistency.

The plate!


To make this dish I used some of the leftover Shawarma Spice from my last hellofresh box along with the second portion of chicken from the last meal.

Bacon butter!

Making: Today I'll be making bacon butter. Whenever I make bacon I save the grease. Now that I have enough it will be turned into batches of bacon butter.  I used about 2.75 sticks of butter total. Cut into jars then I let them sit until the butter was close to room temperature.  The bacon fat I have collected (Stored in the refrigerator) was heated in bits over a double boiler until liquified but not too hot.  The melted bacon fat was poured over the butter. You can use a strainer to get rid of and chunky bits and then mixed until well incorporated. The smaller jars have just over 3 oz butter. The bigger jar has 4.3 oz butter.  Here are the finished jars. These will be stored in the fridge and used to cook veggies and sear meats. You could also put herbs in the jar for different flavors. - Kris
