I'm excited to partner with Monterey Mushrooms, the largest fresh mushroom grower in North America, for this post. As always, all opinions are my own, and I only partner with brands and products I genuinely love using in my own kitchen.
Calling all stuffed mushroom and lettuce wrap fans- this one is for you. If a lettuce wrap and a stuffed mushroom had a baby, this would be the result. These portabellas are the perfect wrap for an incredibly delicious and nutritious ground chicken and veggie filling that's bursting with flavor. Go ahead and jot down this one for your weekly menu- it's going to be a hit!
Y'all know I love cooking with mushrooms. They're such a hearty, nutritious and sustainable ingredient to add to your meals. From whole portabellas, baby bellas, sliced portabellas, finely chopped mushrooms and more- I highly recommend incorporating more mushrooms into your family's meals!
KISS Tip: Did you know that one million pounds of mushrooms can grow in the space of one acre all while requiring minimal water and being ready for harvest in only a few days?!
I really enjoy Asian flavors, but also know that the sodium is often incredibly high and when trying to replicate dishes at home, they can sometimes fall flat. This flavorful recipe couldn't be any more simple and by using coconut aminos instead of soy sauce, the sodium is significantly reduced! If you're not familiar with coconut aminos, it's a savory sauce made from the fermented sap of coconut palm then mixed with sea salt. It comes in around 90mg of sodium per tablespoon, compared to 280mg of sodium in one tablespoon of soy sauce. Plus, it's a gluten-free seasoning sauce option!
I tend to use ground beef or venison (thanks to Mr. KISS in the Kitchen!), but this recipe is a great way to flavor up ground chicken or another white meat. Plus, all the filling sits in a juicy portabella so no need to be concerned about the dryness that tends to accompany ground chicken!
KISS Tip: Still not a ground chicken fan? Try subbing a different protein- turkey, beef, pork....whatever strikes your fancy!
This recipe is full of flavor, but not a lot of heat so it's good for little eaters. My almost 13 month old LOVED this the first time I made it!
KISS Tip: Like a little more spice? Add in some red pepper flakes for the perfect amount of heat.
Happy Summer and Happy eating, y'all!
