Low Carb Recipes

Life can seem a whole lot more boring when on a diet. Most of the foods that we are accustomed to eating are off-limits now, and the ones that we know we can are utterly devoid of taste and character. But, this does not have to be the case if you take the time to find some good low carb recipes. There are many more out there than ever before. As the market for all things low in carbs expanded, so too did the variety of good tasting low carb recipes. In fact there are a great many low carb recipes that you know well, but not well known that they are also low carb.

How about Chicken Parmigiana?

It goes a little something like this...

This recipe serves four, and you need the following:

Four skinless chicken breasts (8 oz. each)

1 cup marinara sauce

3.5 oz thinly sliced provolone cheese

Add about 2 inches of salted water to a large, non-stick pan and bring to the boil. Put the chicken into the water and reduce the heat to medium. Cook the chicken for about 10 minutes or until it is firm to the touch. Take the chicken out of the water and season with salt and white pepper.
Preheat the broiler and spray a baking sheet with cooking oil.
Add the sauce to a non-stick pan and heat just until it gets hot.
Put the chicken breasts on the baking sheet and spoon the sauce over the chicken then place the cheese on top.
Broil about 6 inches from the heat until the cheese in melted and turns a golden brown. Take it out and serve it immediately.

There is only one minor adjustment that has been made for this to be made worthy of your collection of low carb recipes, the breasts are not breaded, but this does not really take away from any of the original flavor, just makes it a little less heavy. Another thing to consider in order to make this truly one of your low carb recipes is to be careful about the marinara sauce that you add as many of the jarred sauces contain a lot of added sugar- make sure yours does not contain more carbs than you are allowing yourself.
