Chicken Cordon Bleu

Chicken Cordon Bleu

4 Large boneless skinless chicken breast halves
2 Tbsp. butter or margarine softened
1 tsp. dried Thyme
4 thin slices Swiss cheese
8-12 bacon strips
2 eggs
1/2 c. milk or cream
1/2 c. Atkins bake mix
3/4 c. crushed pork rinds
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. dried Oregano
1/4 c. parmesan cheese
Flatten chicken breasts, using a knife to cut from middle towards outside (but not all the way through the side) to form a flap. This helps thin down the chicken where it tends to be the thickest and also makes your working surface larger. Open flap and press flat with smooth side down underneath. Spread butter on the top. Sprinkle with Thyme. Top with a slice of ham and cheese. Roll up tightly. Wrap each with two or three slices of bacon and secure with toothpicks. In a small bowl, beat eggs and milk; set aside. Place Atkins bake mix in another bowl. Set aside. Combine the crushed pork rinds, garlic powder, oregano and cheese. Dip each chicken breast into egg mixture, then bake mix, again into egg mixture and then into pork rinds. Place on greased baking sheet. Bake at 350 Degrees for 40-45 min. or until chicken juices run clear. Yield: 4 serving with less than 5 carbs each.

Buttermilk Pecan Chicken

Buttermilk Pecan Chicken
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 egg
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup ground pecans (I put 2 cups of pecans in a food processor)
1/4 cup sesame seeds
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 cup butter, melted
Between two sheets of waxed paper pound the chicken until fairly thin. In a bowl, beat the egg and add the cream; set aside. In a shallow pan mix the ground pecans, sesame seeds, and spices together. Dip the chicken in the egg mix and roll in the pecan mix. Place in a baking pan. Once finished with all of the pieces, drizzle with the melted butter. Bake at 350 for 40 minutes or until a nice golden brown. Turns out fork tender, juicy, and crunchy.
NOTE: You will have pecan mixture left over, so I don't believe that the carb count could be that high. Save the rest of the mixture in a airtight container or bag in the frig for the next time. This mix is especially good on fish, too.

Jeri’s Beer-Roasted Chicken

Jeri’s Beer-Roasted Chicken
1 whole roasting chicken
1 can beer
Olive Oil
Salt
Pepper
Rosemary
Remove the giblets and neck, wash the chicken and pat it dry. Rub olive oil all over chicken and season with salt, pepper, and rosemary or other rotissary spices.
Open beer can, and place chicken on top of can. Beer can should be inserted in cavity of chicken. (Be careful, chicken is slippery.) The can, along with the chicken legs should hold the chicken vertical.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place chicken in a baking dish and put in oven. Bake for 80 min. or until chicken is done. Skin with be crunchy, but meat will be very moist from beer.
Note: When I cooked this, my chicken fell over during last few minutes of cooking because the chicken was so tender, the legs couldn't hold it up anymore. Luckily, my baking dish was big enough that no mess was made. Beer did spill inside the chicken, but it was still very good.

1 tbsp. brown mustard seeds
5 fresh green chillies; roughly chopped
4 1/2 tbsp. mustard oil

Grind the mustard seeds to a fine powder in your grinder. Put the mustard seed powder, chillies and 0.25 tsp. turmeric into a blender. Add 4 tablespoon water, blend to a smooth paste (N.B., when making this for two and halving the ingredients, it'll fit into the spice grinder so you don't have to dirty up the blender).
Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large pan or wok on high heat. Add chicken. Stir and fry for 10-15 minutes until golden. Remove from pan.
Add remaining oil to the pan. When hot add the mustard and chilli paste and turn heat down to low. Stir and fry for 3-4 minutes until the oil bubbles on the surface.

Soy Wings

Soy Wings
5 lbs. of wings
2 bottles of Kikkoman Soy Sauce
1 Bottle Lea and Perrins Worcestershire
4 packets Splenda
3/4 bottle of dry white wine
8 cloves of garlic, minced
Hot sauce to taste (optional)
Few drops of Liquid Smoke
1/2 to 1 cup of olive oil
Combine all the ingredients, including the wings and marinate at least overnight. Grill on low 1-1/12 hours or until done. (Depends on how hot your grill is-sometimes I get them done in 1/2 hour) We figure about 3.7 grams carbohydrate per serving. And this serves about 8 persons. I know the ingredients sound like a TON of carbohydrates, but keep in mind you are NOT eating all of this--it is a marinade and basting sauce. You get very little of the carbohydrates. Much better than hot wings

Easy Garlic Chicken Breasts

1/4 cup lime juice
1/4 cup olive oil
1 Tbsp. minced garlic
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
salt and pepper
In a medium bowl, whisk together the lime juice and olive oil. Add garlic and season with salt and pepper generously, and add chicken, making sure it is well-coated with the marinade. Marinate chicken, covered in fridge for at least 3 hours and preferably overnight. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Remove chicken from marinade and discard marinade. Arrange chicken breasts in a shallow baking pan.
Season with salt and pepper and roast for 25-30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear when you prick it with a fork. Serves 2.
**This is really simple, but surprisingly good. The chicken is somewhat garlicky and tangy because of the lime juice, but it is not too strong-tasting.

Chicken Rollups

2 boneless chicken breasts
2 slices Swiss cheese
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
2 tablespoons onion, chopped
Some broccoli spears
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon butter
Oregano to taste
Pound the chicken breasts out 1/4 inch thick. If this makes them too big to handle easily, slice lengthways to manageable size.
Put a slice of the cheese on each breast, top with some of the broccoli spears. Roll up jellyroll style, fasten with toothpicks. Mine usually come out looking more like porcupines
Heat the butter in a heavy skillet, preferably with a lid. Put the chicken rolls in the butter on low to medium heat and cook for at least 15 minutes, turning frequently to brown on all sides. Chicken should have clear juices. Scrape bottom of pan frequently to loosen up the good stuff Broccolli will still be a little crunchy. Pour in the chicken broth, use as much as you would like to have gravy, allowing for a bit of reduction (evaporation) as it cooks. Add mushrooms and onions, and oregano. Increase heat a little and stir from time to time to reduce the sauce. Serve and enjoy.
Carbs count - PLEASE check this for mistakes!! I'm still new at it mushrooms (3), onion (2), Swiss - it claims 0 but I usually say (2) chicken broth claims 0 but I say (1), broccolli (2) for a total of 10 grams. Might be another 1/2 gram if you used a lot of oregano.

Add the onion, garlic mushrooms and green peppers-cook, stirring for a few minutes until the onion begins to wilt. Place the browned chicken pieces into a large ovenproof casserole (I use a roasting pan with a lid) pour the onion-pepper mixture over the chicken. In the same frying pan or a saucepan, mix the tomato paste, water, wine, bay leaf and allspice-mix well. Pour over the chicken, cover and bake in a 350: oven about 1 hour or until the chicken is done then uncover the chicken and bake an additional 30 minutes for the sauce to thicken. This can also be cooked stovetop, just cook slowly until the chicken is done and the sauce thickens.

Buffalo Chicken Wings

Here is the original recipe created by Ms. Teresa Bellissimo, owner of the Anchor Bar and Restaurant, in Buffalo, NY. It is taken from Totally Hot! The Ultimate Hot Pepper Cookbook.
4 to 5 lbs. Chicken wings
Freshly ground black pepper
Salt (if desired)
4 C Vegetable Oil
4 Tbsp. butter or margarine (1/2 stick)
5 Tbsp. Louisiana-brand hot sauce or Tabasco sauce
1 Tbsp. white wine vinegar
Chop off the tip of each chicken wing, and discard it. Chop the wing in half (cutting at the joint) to make 2 pieces. Grind on fresh black pepper and sprinkle with salt if desired.
Heat the oil over high heat in a deep skillet, Dutch oven, or deep-fat fryer until it starts to pop and sizzle (around 400 degrees F). Add half the chicken wings and cook until they're golden and crisp, stirring or shaking occasionally. When done, remove them to drain on paper towels and cook the remaining wings.
Melt the butter or margarine over medium heat in a heavy saucepan, add the hot sauce and the 1 tablespoon of vinegar. Stir well and remove from the flame immediately.
Place the chicken on a warm serving platter, pour the sauce on top, and serve.

Low Carb Chicken Gravy

Low Carb Chicken Gravy
2 heaping tsp. flax seed meal
1 Tbsp. Protein Powder
1 1/2 Tbsp. butter
Drippings from roasted chicken
Water
Salt
Pepper
Take the pan from the roasted chicken, with the chicken drippings and put it on a burner on low heat. Melt the butter in the drippings. Add the flax meal while stirring with a fork. Stir in the protein powder Add water to thin the gravy, thinning it past the thickness you eventually want. Transfer the gravy to a very small saucepan and bring to a boil while constantly stirring. Season to taste with salt and pepper. When gravy reaches desired consistency, serve it hot!!
I count 2 grams of carbs (from the flax seed meal) in the whole batch. I don’t know the actual count on the drippings themselves, but I’d guess they’re the same as chicken which I believe is zero! Makes just about enough gravy for one chicken.

Warm Chick Pea and Broccoli Salad

Serve this comforting salad as a main dish or as a side. The chick peas contribute a considerable amount of protein, manganese and folate to the dish.

1/2 pound (1 heaped cup) dried chick peas, soaked for 6 hours or overnight in 1 quart water

Salt, preferably kosher salt, to taste

1/2 pound broccoli crowns, broken into florets

1/2 small red onion, sliced (optional)

1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, or a combination of parsley and dill

2 ounces shaved Parmesan

For the dressing:

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 tablespoon red wine vinegar, champagne vinegar, or sherry vinegar

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 small garlic clove, minced or put through a press

Salt, preferably kosher salt, and freshly ground pepper

6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, or 4 tablespoons olive oil and 2 tablespoons buttermilk or plain low-fat or nonfat yogurt

Add salt to taste and continue to simmer until the chick peas are tender, 30 minutes to an hour. Remove the bay leaf.

2. Meanwhile, place the red onions in a bowl and cover with cold water. Soak 5 minutes, then drain and rinse. Dry on paper towels.

3. Make the dressing. Mix together the lemon juice, vinegar, mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper. Whisk in the olive oil (or the oil and buttermilk or yogurt). Set aside.

4. When the beans are tender, add the broccoli. Turn up the heat, cover and simmer or steam (depending on how much water is left in the pan) 5 minutes, until the broccoli is tender but still bright. Drain the beans and broccoli and toss with the dressing. Add the herbs and the Parmesan, toss again, and serve warm.

Yield: Serves 4 as a main dish, 6 as a side.
