Chicken Santa Fe





Pound chicken breast flat


spread with cream cheese


spread with salsa


add 1 slice pepper jack cheese





Roll and dredge in bread crumbs ( you can skip the bread crumbs to keep it low carb)





Brown in skillet then bake cover with foil for 20 minutes at 350


then uncovered for an additional 5 minutes.





If you are extra lazy and don't care how pretty the dish is you can skip the browning step.





Yummy and you can sub out the stuffing ingedients with other items like ricotta cheese and asparagus or spinach, pizza sauce and mozzerella cheeseWhat is your fav low carb recipe using chicken breast?

Rosemary Chicken - Low Carb:





1录 hours 10 min prep


3-4 servings





1 lb chicken pieces, bone-in skin on (I usually buy all breasts, but you can buy a whole cut up chicken)


1/2 cup butter


2 tablespoons garlic juice (find it in the spice section at the grocery)


4 tablespoons lemon juice


1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce


1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce


2 tablespoons dried rosemary





1. Preheat oven to 375.


2. Mix all ingredients in a small sauce pan and heat on med-low until butter is melted, stir and set aside.


3. Place chicken skin side down in a baking dish (choose a baking dish that the chicken fits in snuggly).


4. Pour the sauce over the chicken.


5. Bake for 30 minutes.


6. Turn chicken over, baste%26amp; bake 30 more minutes or until top is crisp%26amp; chicken is cooked through.


7. Serve it with Rice%26amp; steamed veggies.


8. If low-carbing just skip the rice, pour the sauce over the veggies, so good.


9. I have made it with boneless skinless breasts, it's still good, we just prefer it this way (be sure and adjust the baking time).


10. I have never substituted real garlic for the garlic juice and personally wouldn't, but you can try.


11. BUT- If you have never tried garlic juice I highly recommend it, it is different than real garlic, it gives a wonderful flavor!
My husband made me Wisconsin Chicken the other night using chicken breast. It's really easy. Grill your chicken breast then top with swiss cheese, bacon, and barbeque sauce. Yum-Yum.
season with McCormick's Jerk Spice - and grill it - slice into strips and serve it over mesclun greens...

Chicken Breast w/ a Small Salad and Bread Sticks


Pasta and Veggies in a Light Sauce


Veggies
You can probably just season it with a little bit of BBQ Sauce.


Or You can try topping the chicken with a little salsa and some shredded cheddar cheese- add it about 5 minutes before the chicken is done so the cheese just melts %26amp; doesnt burn.
