Makes 2 servings

1 lb raw chicken, cut into small pieces 1 tsp ground cumin ½ tsp salt ½ tsp ground black pepper, or your preferred spice mix 2 Tbsp butter 2 tsp garlic, minced 2 Tbsp lemon juice 2 Tbsp cream cheese 3 cups chopped spinach, kale, orach, or whatever greens you like

Pour a small amount of oil into a skillet and place it over high heat.

Combine chicken pieces, cumin, salt, and pepper in a zipped plastic bag and mush them all around to coat the seasoning onto the chicken pieces. Dump them into the hot skillet and turn heat to medium, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is seared and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan.

If you are using frozen greens, microwave them for a minute or two, so they are thawed when you cook them.

Melt the butter in the pan. Add garlic and let it sizzle for 30 seconds, then add the lemon juice and cream cheese. Stir it all until the cream cheese and butter are totally melted and the chicken drippings are mixed in. Add the greens to the pan and stir until they are wilted and coated with the sauce.

Sauce: ¼ cup peanut butter (no sugar or salt added) 2 Tbsp soy sauce 1 Tbsp brown sugar or honey 1 Tbsp lime juice ¼ cup water or coconut milk Optional 1-2 Tbsp sriracha or other heat

Stir-fry: 16 oz raw chicken, cut into small pieces (or 12 oz cooked chicken) 8 oz broccoli 5 oz mukimame (shelled soy beans) ½ cup chopped frozen spinach 1 Tbsp minced garlic 2 tsp minced fresh ginger or ½ tsp ground ginger 1 tsp sesame seeds Chopped peanuts and cilantro leaves to garnish

In a small bowl, whisk together the sauce ingredients and set aside.

In one pan, cook the chicken over med-high heat with a little bit of oil. Stir occasionally to enable thorough cooking, but you also want the outsides to sear.

In another pan, cook the broccoli and mukimame over medium heat, with oil or water, until the broccoli is half soft. Add the garlic and ginger and stir for about thirty seconds, then add the sauce and spinach. Stir enough to distribute the spinach, then add the chicken, which should be completely cooked by now, and sesame seeds. Stir everything together and cook another 1-2 minutes for the sauce to slightly thicken.

Serve with rice or by itself, with additional peanuts and cilantro.

Variations

It's goblin soup, so you can do basically whatever you want.

Olive oil: use any kind of oil, or butter. Almonds: use any kind of nut or nut butter. Beans: use any kind of bean or legume. Vegetables: There are 13 oz of vegetables. Use whatever combination you want. Just remember that harder vegetables need to cook for longer, so they go in at the beginning with the nuts. Cream cheese: use cream, sour cream, any kind of cheese, evaporated milk, plant milk. Use 1-2 tsp of any herb or seasoning you want.

2 fish fillets, boneless, 4-6 oz each Salt and pepper 2 Tbsp flour 2 Tbsp oil

The fish needs to be not frozen. Skin can be removed if desired. Use whatever kind of fish you like. Pat fish dry using paper towels. Sprinkle with salt & pepper, then flour. Spread flour over the entire surface. Flip the fish pieces over and repeat. Shake excess flour off.

Heat oil in a non stick skillet over high heat. When the oil is shimmering, add fish. For thin fillets, cook for 1 ½ minutes until golden and crispy on the edges, then turn and cook the other side for 1 ½ minutes. Cook longer if you have thicker fillets.

Filling: 1 lb. chicken meat 1 ½ tsp minced garlic 1 cup minced celery ¾ cup chopped onion 2 cups potato, cut into ½” cubes ½ cup grated parmesan (or other cheese) ½ tsp salt 1 tsp ground black pepper 2 tsp tomato powder ½ tsp dried thyme ½ tsp dried oregano ¼ tsp fennel seed ¼ cup cornstarch ½ cup water, soup stock, or cream

Crust: 2 ¾ cup flour 2 tsp baking powder 1 tsp salt 6 Tbsp oil 1 ½ cup milk or water

Preheat oven to 350° F.

Place the chicken in a greased pan over medium-high heat and let the outside brown, flipping occasionally, while you prepare the rest of the filling. The chicken does not have to be cooked through at this time.

Chop the vegetables, mix the filling ingredients in a large bowl. When the chicken is seared on the outside, cut it into small pieces and stir into the filling.

In a separate bowl, stir together all the crust ingredients.

Grease a large pie pan, and press 1/3 of the crust dough into the bottom, with wet hands to smooth it out to fill the space. Pour the filling into the pie pan, evening out the top. Place the rest of the dough on top, using wet hands to smooth it out and completely cover the filling.

Bake for 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches at least 165° F, checking in several spots.

4 chicken breasts 3 Tbsp butter 1/3 cup soup stock or water ½ cup lemon juice 1 ½ Tbsp corn starch 1 Tbsp honey 2 tsp minced garlic ½ tsp dried basil ½ tsp dried oregano 1 tsp salt ¼ tsp pepper optional: 4 small potatoes

Preheat oven to 400° F.

Melt butter in a skillet. Add the chicken and optional potatoes, chopped into large pieces. Cook chicken pieces for 3 minutes on each side, over medium-high heat. It is ok if the chicken is frozen. If the chicken is too large for all pieces to fit in the skillet, use 2 skillets or cook the pieces in batches.

Whisk the other ingredients together in a small bowl. Transfer the chicken and all its drippings into a baking dish. Pour the lemon sauce over it. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20-30 minutes, until the meat is at least 165° F inside. Larger pieces take longer to cook.
