Cheesy Ranch Chicken Broccoli Done Right

By leec Leave a Comment

And Of Course Low Carb Keto Friendly

Cheesy chicken broccoli

This low carb keto chicken recipe is sort of like a frying pan casserole dish. The chicken is cooked ahead of time in a slow cooker so you can pull the meat apart and have shredded chicken for this recipe.

You can customize the spices and add other veggies if desired. Cheddar cheese works good but again there are other cheeses you could use to get that taste you love.

Here is a short video to go with the instructions below.

.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast 3 small breasts
  • 2 tablespoon of butter
  • 1/2 pack ranch seasoning mix
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened.
  • 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 1/2 cup Broccoli (or a 10.8oz steam bag)
  • 2/3 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup crumbled bacon
  • 1/2 cup cheese
For the Topping
  • 2 cups cheese
  • 1/2 cup crumbled bacon

Instructions

  1. I cooked my chicken first in a slow cooker on high for 3.5 hrs with a little chicken broth and salt/pepper.

  2. Remove chicken from the slow cooker and shred.

  3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

  4. In an oven-safe skillet melt 2 tablespoons butter.

  5. Next, add ranch seasoning, cream cheese, heavy whipping cream, chicken broth, 1/4 cup crumbled bacon, and 1/2 cup cheese.

  6. Use a whisk to combine ingredients and cook on low for 5 minutes.

  7. If using a steam bag of broccoli follow directions on the bag to steam. Otherwise, steam fresh broccoli in microwave until it reaches desired tenderness while the ranch mixture is simmering.

  8. Add shredded chicken and cooked broccoli to ranch mixture and stir to combine.

  9. Sprinkle 2 cups cheese and 1/2 cup crumbled bacon on top.
  10. Cook in oven for 25 minutes then move to top rack.

A Refreshing Low Carb Sandwich Idea

By leec Leave a Comment

Have You Tried One Of These Sandwiches Yet? — Yumm

Ditch the bread, this sandwich wrap is way more refreshing. What a great way to freshen up your low carb lunch menu repertoire. When I came across this recipe I had to go try it and I'm glad I did. Cucumbers are definitely on the shopping list for the next few weeks.

When was the last time you cut a cucumber horizontally? It opens up a whole new world of possibilities. Just think of how many different ways you can fill two slices of cucumber with. Cream cheeses, cheese, deli meats, other veggies, pickles and so on and all the different combinations. Bread may become a thing of the past.

I've tried these sandwiches using zucchini as well and was very pleased with the results.

You’ll Be A Hero With This Crusty Chicken

By leec Leave a Comment

Plain or Crusty — Average To Hero Every Time

parmesan crusty chicken

I think the best part of this recipe that sets it aside from most other chicken recipe in the zesty parmesan crust on the chicken. Maybe I'm just a Parmesan fan but that crust sure tastes good. The crust is what turns an average cook into something special – a hero in the kitchen.

For a low carb keto dish, this has so much flavor – it's ridiculous!

Does your standard cracker or bread crumb crusts give you much flavor? Not really. But the melted parmesan in this recipe really gives it some zing. In addition to that nice crispy crunch on the outside. The mayonnaise is used to keep the chicken moist. And the bacon sauce on top only adds to the flavor of the chicken. In fact Brandie calls it –

“The Trifecta of Tastiness”

Brandie's Low Carb Parmesan Crusted Chicken with Creamy Bacon Sauce

10 minutes of prep time and 40 minutes in the oven and your ready to eat.

Ingredients For The Chicken

  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 4 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 4 tbsp shredded Parmesan cheese

Ingredients For The Sauce

  • 6 slices bacon fried and crumbled (reserve the fat)
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tbsp sour cream
  • 1 tbsp shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel (this will help the topping adhere to the chicken breasts).
  2. Place chicken breasts onto a baking sheet. Spread a heaping tablespoon of mayonnaise on top of each breast.
  3. Top each breast with a heaping tablespoon of shredded Parmesan cheese.
  4. Bake uncovered for about 40 minutes (internal chicken temperature should reach 160f degrees when done).
  5. When the chicken has about 10 minutes left in the oven, begin the sauce.
  6. Using a skillet, warm up the reserved bacon fat over med-low heat. Whisk in the heavy cream until combined well.
  7. Continue whisking until the mixture starts to gently bubble up around the edges of the skillet. Add the sour cream and whisk until smooth. Add parmesan and garlic powder and continue to whisk.
  8. Stir in half the cooked and crumbled bacon.
  9. To serve, place one chicken breast on a plate. Drizzle some of the sauce over the chicken. Top with bacon crumbles.

Tasty Cheesy Crackers With A Delightful Crunch

By leec Leave a Comment

Low Carb Keto Cheesy Crackers

low carb cheesy crackers

Jennifer has a great recipe here. This snack is perfect for dipping or just eating on their own. You just have to make sure you make enough of them.

You can't find all the perfect keto foods and snacks at the store, but luckily there are a lot of great recipes for making just about anything you want. An usually much healthier too.

So if you have 20 or 25 minutes you can make this treat that is better than any cheesy snack cracker at the store.

You start by mixing all the cheeses and flour in a microwave safe bowl and cook them in the microwave fore one minute. That get the mix soft enough to roll out to the thickness desired.

Mix the rest of the spices and the egg in. the tricky part here is to make sure the cheese mixture has cooled enough so the egg does not cook.

Put your ball of dough on some parchment paper and roll it out to a nice cracker thickness. Cut with a pizza wheel cutter to size and in the oven they go. 450°F 5 minutes turn over and 5 minutes more. It may take a little longer if you like a thicker cracker.

Low Carb Cheese Crackers Recipe (Keto Friendly)

Ingredients

  • 2 Cups Cheese of your choice (I used a Parmesan-Romano mix along with some swiss and cheddar)
  • 1 cup Almond Flour
  • 2 oz Cream Cheese
  • 1 egg
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon Rosemary (or a seasoning of your choice such as basil, chives, garlic, dill weed, spicy chili etc…)

Instructions

  1. Mix all the cheeses (including the cream cheese) along with the almond flour in a microwave safe bowl and cook it for exactly one minute.
  2. Immediately stir the ingredients until the almond flour and cheeses have combined fully. You want the cheese to be partially melted (see photo)
  3. Allow this to cool for a few minutes because if you put the egg in these ingredients too soon it will cook the egg.
  4. Now add the egg, sea salt and seasoning of your choice. I decided to cut up some fresh rosemary I had on hand. You want to add about a teaspoon of your favorite seasoning unless it's a spicy mix. I would add only about a ½ teaspoon for spicy seasonings.
  5. Mix it together until all the ingredients is fully combined. If you cheese has gotten too hard or it's too hard to mix, you can microwave your cheese for another 20 seconds to get it soft again.
  6. Now you will place the ball of dough on a large sheet of parchment paper. Then place another sheet of parchment paper of equal size on top of the ball of dough.
  7. You can use your hands or a rolling pin to spread the dough out into a thin layer. It spread so easily that I used my hands to have more control and keep the dough inside the square piece of parchment paper. Make sure the parchment paper is the same size as your baking sheet.
  8. Next use a pizza cutter to cut the crackers into small squares as seen in the photos.
  9. Bake these crackers on each side at 450 degrees for about 5 or 6 minutes on each side. If the crackers are thin, you will cook them about 5 minutes on each side but if the dough is thick, it may take 7 to 9 minutes to get the crispy cracker texture you are looking for. When you keep the dough on the parchment paper it's really easy to flip it over while it's hot after cooking it on the first side. I ended up using the pizza cutter again to define the lines on the flip side too. Feel free to leave the crackers in there a bit longer (but watch them closely) if you love a very crispy texture.
  10. Allow the crackers to cool for about 5 minutes and they are ready to eat!
