Here are a couple of low carb Chili recipes that were posted and I copied into a word file. I believe they are from Kristy and McChestnut if my memory serves me. I made one of them and it was delicious, although I went out of ketosis. I think there was added sugar in the canned tomatoes I used. Didn't think to check the label.

Low Carb Chili with White Chicken Chili Mix

Cook up some ground turkey or chicken with some garlic, onion/scallion, peppers. Add some McCormick's white chicken chili mix and some chicken broth. (I frequently add in some diced canned tomatoes with green chiles too). You can get pretty inventive. Top if off with some LF sour cream and shredded cheese (small amt) and/or salsa.


Modified South Beach Chili

Combine...Ground Turkey...Low Sugar Tomato Sauce, Onions, Green Peppers, and chili mix. Top with 1/4c of low fat cheese. It taste yummy.

[SDC2]

Low Carb Pudding

In blender combine fat-free/sugar-free pudding, substitute unsweetened almond breeze (original, vanilla or chocolate work) for the milk and one level teaspoon of guar gum per package of pudding and blend.

If you are making 2 packages of pudding at the same time use 1 container (32oz) of unsweetened almond breeze and 2 level teaspoons of guar gum. Let them set in fridge for at least 30 minutes to set. Make sure not to over do the guar gum. A little goes a long way.

If I can make a suggestion when making the pudding use either the unsweetened vanilla or chocolate flavor depending on the flavor pudding you are making. The unsweetened original is good but the other two are better. The unsweetened chocolate is great with any of the chocolate varieties and also the cheesecake variety. You can use either the unsweetened vanilla or unsweetened chocolate when making the banana creme flavor.

Enjoy

Tap tray firmly on the counter a few times to get mixture to settle flat. Next, top each with a teaspoon of chocolate syrup. Tap tray again to settle. Place tray in freezer until Bites are solid -- at least 2 hours.

1 serving Michael Angelo's Chicken Piccata
1 pkg Miracle Noodles
Johnny's Garlic spread seasoning
1 tablespoons grated parmesian cheese

At BJ's I found in the frozen section a Chicken Piccata dish made by Michael Angelo's, which comes in 2 trays. It is a little high in fat, but you can see the garlic butter swimming in the bottom and avoid it. A 2/3 cup serving is only 5 carbs and it has wonderful artichokes, capers and tomatoes in it. I put a serving of this over the miracle noodles. It is delicious!

But here is how I prepare the noodles (which is great with or without the chicken piccata)... After soaking, draining, patting and heating the noodles in a skillet, I put them on a plate and spread them out. Then I spray them with butter spray and sprinkle with just a little bit of Johnny's Garlic spread seasoning ( 0 carbs), then top with 2 tablespoons of grated parmesian cheese. I put the chicken piccata on top of that. It tastes like something decadent that I might have ordered from an Italian restaurant.

Grill boneless/skinless chicken breast with some Italian seasonings/garlic while preheating oven to 350

Sautee mushrooms in Butter Spray Pam (or Olive Oil Pam) and McCormick Italian seasonings - set aside

When chicken is done, cover each with about 1/2 tbsp to 1 tbsp of sugar free spaghetti sauce, (I add 2-3 slices of turkey pepperoni for flavor), some of the sauteed mushrooms, sprinkle on some fat free mozzarella and some fat free parmesean / Season to taste with McCormick Italian Seasonings and Garlic

Bake 10-15 minutes (unitl cheese melts)

*Note - I actually slice the chicken breasts in half after cooking (making them less thick) before putting the ingredients on top. I toss back on the grill for a minute to finish off the bottom.

[teacherdli]

Grill hamburger (I use 96/4% that's 150 cal/ 4 oz) seasoned with McCormick Italian Seasoning and Garlic

Follow recipe for Grilled Chicken Parmesean above for the rest of the directions

My friend tried this and said it reminder her of a stromboli minus the crust

[teacherdli]

Sautee chunks of skinless chickn breast, onions & mushrooms in a covered wok (this creates a juice from the onions)

When chicken looks done, transfer everything to a frying pan in small amounts so you can fry up the ingredients (browns up the veggies and chicken)

Spray Olive Oil Pam on everything while it's cooking, season with McCormick Onion and Garlic flavors, squirt Ceasar Dressing salad spritzers onto everything a few times & stir (repeat this about 3-4 times) (the dressing gives the chicken a little bit of a tangy flavor but doesn't change the taste of mushrroms/onions)

[SDC2]

2 cup fresh mushrooms sliced
crushed garlic
10-12 oz mozzarella cheese

I used a glass pie plate and cut into slices.
Don't try and use fresh spinach in this dish. Fresh is all I had on hand at the time and it was almost a disaster. Had to finsh off in the microwave and it just wasn't that great.
