muffin-pan-chicken-cups: a recipe

We're always messing around and creating/tweaking new recipes, and this one was too delicious not to share! I'm not really sure what to call them, so if you've got a good name, let me know!

For now, let's call them muffin-pan-chicken-cups (quite a mouthful, both the name and the actual food!)

Ingredients:

• 1.5 pounds ground chicken
• 1 egg
• 1 cup chopped veggies**
• 6 oz mozzarella cheese, chopped into small cubes
• 1.5 tsp garlic powder 
• 1.5 tsp dried basil
• A dash of salt and pepper

**This time, I chopped two bell peppers and 1/4 of a Japanese kabocha (pumpkin-like squash) into thumb-nail sized pieces. You could really use any veggies you like, though!

Directions:

• Preheat the oven to 400° F.
• Grease a muffin tin (we used coconut oil on a paper towel).
• Chop the veggies and the mozzarella into small chunks. Mix all ingredients in a mixing bowl until everything is combined.
• Using spoonfuls (or handfuls) to scoop mixture into the muffin tin. Press down a bit to fill the cups. (I was able to get 10 muffin cups filled to the top with this mixture.)
• Bake at 400° for 25-30 minutes.
• Let them cool, and then enjoy!
