Low Carb Chicken Tchoupitoulas. (chop-a-too lus) I don’t think this is a particularly well known recipe but I am pretty sure you will add it to your recipe book repertoire once you have had it. I have to say it is a spectacular presentation and makes a great meal for company. The original recipe calls for brabant potatoes and I have subbed them with caramelized zucchini and as many times as I have served this recipe (with potatoes) I seriously can’t tell the difference.  You will need Sauce Béarnaise to complete the dish and please read how to do the Caramelized Zucchini. For a more authentic looking dish please see Brabant “Potatoes” made with daikon radish.

If you look at the picture of the raw products on my cutting board these are things I do as part of Future Cooking.

Low Carb Chicken Tchoupitoulas is pretty much an all inclusive meal and served with your favorite salad should be plenty enough.
