Servings 4
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil or ghee
- 1 lb . ground chicken
- 1 medium yellow onion , diced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp whole fennel seed , crushed
- 1 (14.5 oz) can of cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 (25 oz) marinara sauce (or 3 cups homemade)
- sea salt and black pepper to taste
- parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the ground chicken and cook, breaking it up with a spoon as it browns. Add the onion, and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are softened, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the oregano and fennel seed and cook for a minute more. Stir in the marinara sauce and beans. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, check seasonings, adding salt and pepper if necessary, top with parmesan cheese, then serve.
Notes
To crush the fennel seed, you can either use a spice grinder or you can use your chef's knife. Just pour the seeds onto your cutting board, pour a small amount of oil over them to keep them flying all over the place, then chop away.
