What is Meditalian?

Idk dude, I made it up. But it feels right 😂

THIS WAS ABSOLUTELY DELISH THOUGH, and one pan. (Because my chicken breast was already cooked… btw). It was 11pm, and I had just cooked for 5 hours, but I needed something healthy and not as frowned upon shoveling down before bed time, but y’all I was starving and I needed to use some of these ingredients from my fridge okaaayyy?

🍴one serving 🍴

•preheat oven to 400°F

Put on a pan with some olive oil:

•thin sliced onions & yellow bell peppers + 1 cup rinsed chick peas … roast for 10-15 min

•grab a 1/2 cup of Giardiniera mix, put in a bowl, add a 1/2Tbsp sugar, pinch of crushed red pepper, sprinkle of Turmeric & Cumin, and a heftyyy pinch of Parsley. Mix it. Let it sit.

•pull out your pan and add 2 Cups of Kale 🥬 + a sprinkle of sunflower seeds. Mix into the oily goodness that is in your pan. Pop back in about 7 minutes.

•cut up your cooked chicken breast into larger pieces and toss in the Giardiniera concoction you just made.

•add that to your pan, roast about another 5-10 min

Dump it in a bowl, viola.

✨ Top w/ Feta Cheese & black pepper

🍷 Would totally pair with a rich, buttery Chardonnay that had some citrus notes

🧂 notice I didn’t add any salt?? It’s not even needed with these ingredients!!

⭐️ Overall rating: 9.8/10

When learning Italian, keep in mind that the language is not entirely phonetic, meaning many words will sound different than what you think they should sound like. This means that if you are a native English speaker learning Italian, I suggest you spend a LOT of time listening to the language. lis
