2. Chicken Rice Balls
Ingredients:
- 4-5 cups of cooked brown rice

2. Cook the rice (4 C. water & 2 C. rice) and let cool.
3. Add the yams and carrots to a large stock pot with about 1/2 cup water. Add in peas, kale and apple. Allow to boil then simmer until carrots and yams are tender, about 30 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to remove any liquid to a food processor, add fresh parsley and pulse until pureed.
4. Cook scrambled eggs, plain.
5. Cool chicken, then pick apart and add meat to a large stand mixer. On medium speed, mix until chicken is shredded. Add in cooled rice, veggie puree and eggs. Using an ice cream scooper, scoop out portions onto a lined baking sheet. Flash freeze then place portions in a freezer safe container/baggie.
