Description

Layers of Shredded Chicken, Cilantro Lime Cauliflower Rice, Peppers, and a delicious Chipotle Crema to bring it all together!  Ditch the takeout and make this beauty!


Ingredients

Scale

Dish Ingredients:

  • 2 lb chicken breast
  • 16 oz jar of salsa
  • 2 cups chicken bone broth or chicken broth
  • 1 yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 yellow, red, and green pepper, thinly sliced
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Cilantro Lime Cauliflower Rice:

  • 1 whole cauliflower
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • juice of 1/2 lime
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
  • Cumin
  • Garlic Powder

Chipotle Crema:

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut yogurt, I used Culina (or sub sour cream to make this Paleoish)
  • 1/3 cup mayo
  • juice of 1/2 lime
  • 2 chipotle peppers in adobo
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • salt
  • pepper

Instructions

Dish Steps:

  1. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Using a 4 quart dutch oven or large pot, add 1 tbsp of avocado oil on medium-high heat. Sear chicken on each side for 2 minutes then add in the salsa and broth. Mix up and bring to a simmer. Once simmering, cover and set heat to low and cook for one hour.
  2. Remove the chicken breasts and add to a plate. Shred the chicken with two forks then return back to pot and mix it in the sauce.  Keep heat on low and simmer 20-30 minutes, stirring often. 
  3. Grab a 12 inch pan and heat on medium-high.  Once hot, add in 2 tbsp of avocado oil and sear peppers and onion for a few minutes. Season with garlic powder, salt and pepper.
  4. Lower heat to medium and cook for 20 minutes, tossing often. Add in 1 tbsp of butter and stir for a few minutes.

Cilantro Lime Cauliflower Rice Steps:

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Cut cauliflower into florets and use a cuisinart to pulse until you reach a rice consistency. Add rice to a large sheet tray with parchment paper or tinfoil and spread evenly. 
  2. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt. Bake for 10 minutes. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat.  Add in the minced garlic and stir. Immediately add rice and season with garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.  Mix together then add the cilantro and lime juice.

Chipotle Crema Steps:

  1. Add everything to a small blender and blend together until smooth.

Notes

Solid topping ideas:

  • Avocado
  • Black Olives
  • Crushed up tortilla chips
  • Cheese if you wanted to ISH it up

This Nobu style Miso Black Cod is to die for! Shout out to @ocwildseafood for the delicious seafood. Recipe is below.

Ingredients:
2 lbs black cod, cut into small filets
1/4 cup sake
1/4 cup mirin

STEPS:
Cut the fish into filets and add to a large Tupperware container. Get a small pan and add in the marinade ingredients. Let this come to a simmer then cook for 20-30 minutes until a caramel texture forms. Remove from heat and let cool.

Make this Homemade Gyro Pita Bite with @goodfoods Feta Cucumber Tzatziki dip for your next Holiday party!

This is such a fun appetizer that will be something different at the table! I love the layers of flavor you get from the crunchy pita, crispy gyro, tomato, and delicious @goodfoods Tzatziki dip. Check out the recipe below and hope you enjoy!  Happy Holidays!

Gyro Meat:

1 lb ground beef
1 lb ground lamb
1 red onion, roughly chopped
6 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
1 tbsp salt
2 tsp oregano
1 1/2 tsp cumin
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp rosemary
1 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp thyme
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
1/8 tsp cinnamon

Pita and Toppings:
@goodfoods Feta Cucumber Tzatziki Dip
pkg of small pita, cut in half
2 vine ripened tomatoes, thinly sliced
olive oil
salt
garlic powder

STEPS:

Add your roughly chopped onion and garlic to a food processor and pulse until it’s finely chopped. Add to paper towels to squeeze out the moisture. Set aside.
Add the lamb and ground beef to a bowl and throw the seasonings in.  Mix up and add to the food processor to pulse.  You want this to be a smooth consistency. Add in the onion mixture and pulse again.
Grab a 8x8 baking dish or bread loaf dish.  Grease and add in the gyro meat and push down so it’s an even layer.  Bake at 375 for 30-40 minutes.  You want this to have an internal temp of 160.  Let fully cool before slicing.
Slice gyro into thin pieces and pan sear in some olive oil for 1-2 minutes per side to get each side crispy. 

Slice your pita bread in half and add pieces to a baking sheet.  Drizzle with Olive oil and season with salt and garlic powder on both sides.  Ensure both sides are coated in the olive oil. Bake at 400 degrees for 5 minutes.  Flip and bake for another 2-3 minutes until they start to get a little crispy and browned.

Add a nice layer of the @goodfoods Tzatziki dip on the bottom of the pita.  Top with a tomato slice and a gyro slice. Drizzle on a little more Tzatziki on top then enjoy!

This Pepperoni Pan Pizza from @ranceschicagopizza is a serious game changer! Don’t sleep on their wings either. Their Bourbon Maple Bacon Wings were out of this world! #ISHDAY Ep.1

I am from Chicago so I was so pumped when I discovered this beautiful gem in Orange County! The pan pizza has this delicious buttery flakey crust that makes me cry tears of joy every time I eat it. I’m a sucker for chunky tomatoes so I love that they put those on top to add that extra texture and flavor component. Definitely check them out next time that pizza craving gets going and comment below on what ISHDAY episodes you want next!
