Cinnamon BBQ Chicken

Cinnamon BBQ Chicken

Ingredients:

1 Serving (4-6 oz) Thawed Chicken Breast
2 Tbsp Walden Farms Sugar Free BBQ Sauce
2 Tbsp Cinnamon



Directions:

1. Pound the chicken breast flat

2. Cover one side of the chicken with 1 Tbsp BBQ and 1 Tbsp Cinnamon

3. Flip the breast over and do the same to the other side with the remaining Tbsp of BBQ sauce and cinnamon.

4. Put in oven and broil 10-15 minutes

5. Take out, let cool, and enjoy!


I used to put BBQ sauce on EVERYTHING until I looked at the label and realized just how much sugar and carbs it contained. You can imagine my thrill when I discovered a sugar-free BBQ sauce! Now with most “calorie-free” products, the taste is never EXACTLY the same as the regular stuff but this one was pretty good and the cinnamon I added to the sauce made it a 10! I also broiled the chicken in this recipe because I find that broiling instead of baking helps keep the chicken a little more moist and tender, but you can bake it if you wish.

Quick and Easy Asparagus & Chicken Stir-Fry

Quick and Easy Asparagus and Chicken Stir-Fry

INGREDIENTS:
1 Tbsp. soy sauce
1 Tbsp. honey
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces (about 1-inch)
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 bunch asparagus, cut into bite-sized pieces
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
2 scallions, chopped
2 tsp. toasted sesame oil
(optional) 1 tsp. toasted sesame seeds

DIRECTIONS:

In a small bowl or in a Ziploc bag, combine soy sauce and honey. Add chicken, and stir to coat. Set in the refrigerator until ready.

Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add asparagus, and sauté until cooked, about 5 minutes. Remove the asparagus with a slotted spoon, and set aside.

Remove chicken from marinade, and add to skillet. Sauté until nearly cooked through (with the insides still slightly pink), about 5 minutes. Then add garlic, scallions, and the reserved marinade to the pan. Sauté for an additional 2 minutes until the chicken is cooked and the garlic is fragrant. Remove from heat and stir in sesame oil. Serve immediately with rice, garnished with toasted sesame seeds if desired.

Broccoli Bread

Broccoli Bread

Here’s a recipe for a low carb bread made with broccoli, egg and flaxmeal. This bread is high in both fiber and protein and contains minimal carbs. Broccoli is also considered a superfood because of all of the vitamins and minerals it provides. While this isn’t your ordinary buttery bread loaf, it still tastes great and is a fantastic addition to your new “carb-free” menu! I cut my loaf in half and made it into two slices but you can also cut it into four slices if you want them smaller.

Ingredients:
2 Cups Broccoli Florets
1 Egg
2 Egg Whites
1/2 Cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
1 Tbsp Flaxseed Meal
1/4 tsp Baking Powder


Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees
2. Steam broccoli
3. In a bowl, beat the egg and egg whites
4. Add in flax, baking powder, almond milk and cooked broccoli
5. Pour the contents into a greased baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden
6. Remove form oven, let cool, and enjoy!

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.
