Keto Stuffed Chicken Boats

Keto Stuffed Chicken BoatsKeto Stuffed Chicken BoatsKeto Stuffed Chicken BoatsKeto Stuffed Chicken Boats. I have made and stuffed chicken breasts before but never like this. Usually you have to slice the breast from the side to make a pocket, the tenderloin tends to fall off and…what a mess, but not these pretty puppies. The opening is made in the top hence the name keto stuffed chicken boats cause/and…that’s exactly what they look like. The addition of a few cherry tomatoes are perfect with it as the flavors go so well together and also take the same amount of time to cook.

They are very easy to put together and cook, that foil is what sets and keeps the boats upright and…because of the way they are cooked, they stay exceptionally moist. I first made and tested one but only took a few pics and didn’t measure my ingredients so I had to make it again and awe, had to eat one again too. Chicken breasts as you probably know have become ridiculously large and can top out the scales at 13-14 ounces. If you can get smaller ones then great and good luck so if you end up with larger breasts then they should be cut in half and shared with a hungry buddy.

A little secret here and I’m not kidding. I dropped the already cooked danged thing on the floor but luckily it was still stuffed with the foil still in it and it held together beautifully and yep… I ate it. This keto stuffed chicken boats recipe will serve two people so two breasts will feed four hungry people.

Low Carb Cabbage Fritters

Low Carb Cabbage FrittersLow Carb Cabbage FrittersLow Carb Cabbage Fritters. Found this recipe tootling around the internet and it sounded fantastic. There was not much I would need to change except subbing ground pork rinds for flour and They. Are. Incredibly. Delicious. I have included a lovely yogurt dip and I also think either my Asian Dipping Sauce or the Asian Lime Fish Sauce would also be wonderful with these low carb cabbage fritters. The yogurt picture is to show you what I use to make the sauce. Fritters make either a really fabulous appetizer or vegetable.

Cabbage Fritters
Print
Ingredients
  1. 1½ Lbs or 1 Small Head Cabbage
  2. 1 t Salt
  3. 2 Small Onions (Or 1 Large) Finely Diced
  4. 4-5 T Olive Oil Divided
  5. 1 T Garlic Paste***
  6. 2 Eggs
  7. 1 t Dried Thyme
  8. 1 t Red Pepper Flakes
  9. ½ t Salt
  10. ¼ t Pepper
  11. ½ C Ground Pork Rinds***
Sauce
  1. ¾ C Yogurt
  2. 2 t Lemon Juice
  3. ¾ t Garlic Paste
  4. ¾ t Dried Parsley
  5. ¼ t Salt
Instructions
  1. Core and cut cabbage into ⅛” long strips, turn, then into thirds or fourths. Pieces should be about ⅛” x 1½”.
  2. Put cut cabbage & 1 t salt into large pot of water and boil for 10-15 minutes or until falling apart tender.
  3. Strain, drain, cool, and squeeze as much water as is possible out of it.
  4. Now squeeze cabbage one more time for good measure.
  5. Dice onions, add to 1 T olive oil and sauté about 5-6 minutes.
  6. Add garlic and cook until golden brown being careful not to burn the garlic.
  7. Add salt, pepper, thyme, & red pepper flakes and cook another 1-2 minutes. Add to cabbage.
  8. Beat 2 eggs, add pork rinds, mixing well and add to cabbage mixture.
  9. Using a medium scoop, (I used a size #24) or about 2½ T form into balls and barely push to make a fat disc.
  10. Put 2 T olive oil into large skillet and fry cabbage discs 5-6 at a time until dark brown on both sides.
  11. Repeat until finished.
Sauce
  1. Mix all sauce ingredients.
  2. Arrange nicely with sauce in the center.
  3. 8 Servings 2/Person
Notes
  1. If you don’t cook the fritters long enough they will not set well enough to flip. Just try not to make them too big. After refrigeration they hold up super well as I can attest. Like an animal, later after dinner, I stood in the kitchen and ate a couple more of them cold over the sink soooo...they would be perfect for a child's snack.
  2. I have included a picture of the yogurt I have used forever, to at least introduce you to it. It will be the best yogurt you have ever eaten and it is thick as mud.
  3. The sauce, if you even have any left over, can be used in a myriad of ways so don't worry, you're probably going to make it again for other stuff anyway. It's good with cucumbers and very good with pork rinds.

Keto Mexican Chicken Queso Soup

Keto Mexican Chicken Queso SoupKeto Mexican Chicken Queso SoupKeto Mexican Chicken Queso Soup. A couple of weeks ago I bought a 16 oz. jar of a fabulous Queso to fix myself some nachos using Pork Skins instead of some other high carb chip and since I live alone, I had tons (of Queso) left over. What you see in that bowl of creamy goodness is just stuff I either had on the counter, in the fridge, or in the freezer freezer. (The chicken). Knowing I now had way too much chicken I saved the rest and made chicken salad for following day. It’s a never ending cycle of too much of one thing to incorporate into another meal and those 2 chicken hindquarters will turn into 3 meals. Keto Mexican chicken queso soup could not be easier as the actual soup part only has five ingredients and that includes (poaching) water but all the goodness of this soup comes from the wonderful lowcarb accoutrements. I am here to tell you there is a lot of flavor in that bowl.

Low Carb Shrimp & Sausage Jambalaya

Low Carb Shrimp & Sausage JambalayaLow Carb Shrimp & Sausage Jambalaya.

Goodbye, Joe, me gotta go, me oh my oh.

Me gotta go, pole the pirogue down the bayou.

Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and filé gumbo,

Son of a gun, we’ll have big fun on the bayou.

A few of the words from the famous song and this is my rendition of a really good low carb Shrimp & Smoked Sausage Jambalaya.  You will absolutely need a recipe of Cauliflower Grits as it is part of the recipe that makes this low carb shrimp & smoked sausage jambalaya.  To tell you the truth, I no longer mash cauliflower.  I much prefer the grits as they do not “weep” after freezing and have nearly zero liquid in them.  They truly are the consistency of grits and I am hoping after you make them you will agree and you will see lots of associated recipes listed there.

  9. 1 C Water + More If Needed
  10. 1 T Creole Seasoning (Your Favorite)

  13. ¼ C Finely Sliced Green Onions
  14. 2 C Cauliflower Grits
  15. Salt & Pepper As Needed But Taste First

  1. Cut shrimp into 3-4 equal segments and slice or chunk sausage.
  2. Sauté sausage in dry pan until browned and set aside.
  3. Add oil to medium low pan then add onion, peppers, celery, and cook until veggies are softened.
  4. Add garlic & Creole seasoning and cook additional minute.

Notes
  1. Cauliflower Grits are included in the nutritionals.
  2. Good luck finding a sugar free sausage. Even the Andoille I use and get from Louisiana has 2g carb per 4 oz. but it’s way better than most. Be careful as a lot of smoked sausages even have corn syrup in them.
  3. If you want your Jambalaya a bit spicier add ½ t cayenne or hot sauce of choice and I like chipotle powder.

Keto Vegetable Dip

Keto Vegetable DipKeto Vegetable DipKeto Vegetable Dip. It’s been a wild ride getting this into a recipe and here’s the story. I first made it just messing around in the kitchen but I liked it so much I made it again and knew it was a winner. Soooo first, as I made it several times I ran out of my frozen 3.5% Darigold Bulgarian Buttermilk cubes and needed to buy more. The grocery store where I had always gotten it was no longer carrying it. Ugh. OK and then, my computer had a rather large problem which took me about 3 weeks to finally get fixed. Lucky for me I have a dear friend who also happened to work for NASA as yes, a NASA scientist who fixed it quite handily. He works on the cheap for…guess what…FOOD. Meanwhile, I can’t find my old buttermilk anywhere. What to do? I PUNTED. I bought some dried buttermilk powder as seen in the picture above and began using that. Good grief, if you don’t have this stuff you should. At least for me it is kind of a miracle product and now I will use it for lots of stuff. My opinion: this keto vegetable dip will be the best thing you have tasted with…vegetables.

Keto Sweet Lime Shrimp

Keto Sweet Lime ShrimpKeto Sweet Lime Shrimp. Do you like easy? Do you like shrimp? Do you like butter? Do you like lime? If you answered yes to these questions this recipe may be for you. I have garnished mine the way I like it and you will do the same. Served it over Cauliflower Grits and again you will do it as you wish. I use a LOT of cauliflower grits and rest assured they are not just plain old riced cauliflower. One good sized head should give you about 6-½ C servings which freeze well for later use. I make 2 heads at a time to freeze.

Low Carb Mini Rolls

Low Carb Mini RollsLow Carb Mini RollsLow Carb Mini RollsLow Carb Mini Rolls. Seems kinda silly to do a recipe for these because I already have Keto Italian Bubble Bread but these are a bit different and oh so useful. There are still 32 lowcarb mini rolls but the taste is very different because of the lack of any spices or cheese in them. I have switched out olive oil for butter and added an egg. Believe it or not, every once in a while in the evening I nosh on these with butter and ham like a tiny 2-3 bite sandwich and they would be perfect for canapés or an Appetizer https://diabeticchefsrecipes.com/low-carb-appetizers/ and to serve as finger food at a party. Since I am by myself now I package 3-4 low carb mini rolls together, freeze them and use as needed/wanted. I have shown a picture of a full serving with Puttanesca Sauce served over Spaghetti Squash. Trust me these go well dipped into Spaghetti Sauce of any kind. Please, if you have never made rolls by hand do not try to compare your low carb mini rolls to mine. I have rolled thousands of them (larger of course) by hand and yours will be just as tasty even if they are not perfect. Just make sure to get the seams on the bottom and don’t be too concerned about the spacing because as you can see in the 2nd & 3rd picture they will fill the pan after rising.

Keto Pork Rind Wraps

Keto Pork Rind WrapsKeto Pork Rind WrapsKeto Pork Rind WrapsKeto Pork Rind WrapsKeto Pork Rind WrapsKeto Pork Rind WrapsKeto Pork Rind Wraps. There may be lots of recipes for keto wraps and this is just my simple version. I did not put any flavoring (except salt) into them as you can flavor them any way you wish and that might certainly include sweetened. I made mine in a small sauté pan to control even sizing but they could just as easily be done on a countertop griddle. To keep it simple and because I already had everything I needed, I did pulled pork burritos and you can experiment any way you wish. Of course I didn’t use all eight of the wraps and since I only used two, I put them two each encased in film and froze the rest of them for later use. The first next thing I am going to do with them is tear them into pieces to use as scoops in one of my dips which might include…I just made some Smoky Eggplant Dip, tore two wraps into what I call rags, and they were perfect. I didn’t do it but it would be nice to display 6 folded wraps on a plate and let people communally tear their own pieces.

The last picture are three small wraps filled with almond whipped cream & raspberries and topped with same and pictured is the new 5” pan I bought especially to make the smallest 4½” wraps. The recipe is only for the keto pork rind wraps and nothing else. They have next to zero carbs and you will have to decide what other low carb foods you want to stuff or eat them with and I have since eaten them as a fabulous BLT wraps.

In my first foray using them for a dinner I used pulled pork sprinkled with cumin inside & out, cheddar cheese, guacamole, sour cream, jalapeno peppers and cilantro but the sky’s the limit on what you can do with keto pork rind wraps. Next time I get a duck I am going to use them as Chinese pancake to make Peking Duck.

I use Plain Pork King Good rinds and they can be purchased any number of places-I buy mine from Netrition. Once you have these you should find all kinds of way to use them. Maybe…Chicken or Cheese Enchiladas? Or maybe just plain pancakes with butter and sugar-free syrup.

Caprese Salad

Caprese SaladCaprese SaladCaprese Salad. You know, I have zero idea why I have never posted a recipe for Caprese Salad before. Maybe because it is so simple and I assume people just know about it. It can literally be thrown together and on the table in a couple of minutes. I originally bought the ingredients because I was going to make myself a personal size lowcarb Cheese Pizza and then I was going to make heaping plate full of Chicken Parmesan over Sprouts and you know how it goes, life changes on a dime and many times so do my food plans. I did add a small chunked up avocado because all the flavors go so well together so…add some or not, your choice. I never did make that pizza but I did end up having Caprese Salad a couple times more. Oh Well.

Italian Creamed Shrimp

Italian Creamed ShrimpItalian Creamed Shrimp. I served mine on Spaghetti Squash but it would be great on boiled sprouts or any number of other lowcarb noodles. Easy quick recipe when you don’t have lots of time which seems to be in short supply these days. I do make and freeze spaghetti squash to have on hand when I want it and the same with Cauliflower Grits but what you serve with your Italian Creamed Shrimp will be up to you.

Instructions
  1. If shrimp have their shells you’ll need to shell them and sauté briefly in browned butter until done. Set aside.
  2. Chop shaved ham.
  3. Add heavy cream, lemon juice, garlic paste, chicken base, and herbs to large sauce pan and reduce just slightly. Add ham and if using small shrimp add now to cook and remembering that cooking small shrimp takes nearly no time.

Low Carb Asian Beef & Cabbage

Low Carb Asian Beef & CabbageLow Carb Asian Beef & CabbageLow Carb Asian Beef & CabbageLow Carb Asian Beef & Cabbage. There are probably a thousand ways to fix a low carb Asian beef & cabbage and this is the way I do mine. It’s filling, satisfying and quite piquant.

Don’t have any stories to tell or tips for you here, it’s just an easy, quick dinner for four people when you don’t have the time or inclination to do much cooking but you still want to fix something really tasty for dinner. I added a hard boiled egg and a few tomato slices because I do only eat once a day but honestly you don’t necessarily need anything else. If you are so inclined, this is the recipe for my Hoisin Sauce.

Keto Asian Butter Mushrooms

Keto Asian Buttery MushroomsKeto Asian Buttery MushroomsKeto Asian Buttery MushroomsKeto Asian Butter Mushrooms. What a packed wallop of flavor and I’d call them umami on steroids. Surprisingly easy to fix and should be on your table in about 20 minutes. You can use just about any mushroom you want except maybe enoki mushrooms. Yes, they have a fabulous delicate flavor but they are fragile and do not hold up to cooking all that well. I have a picture with these wonderful keto Asian butter mushrooms served with a steak and also, I had a bit of leftover sauce so I used it to dress some mung bean sprouts. Now, if you don’t like butter do not make these because they have more butter than just about anything else I know of.
