Im back reading posts been busy the past few days.
Lisa here is the recipe. It is a recipe from Presto that I have had for years. The original recipe calls for veal, but I use chicken when I have a crowd in.
1 ½ pound of chicken I cut up chicken breast tenders or you can pound them thin.
2 Tablespoon butter
2 Tablespoon olive oil (I generally use half of each)
1 clove garlic minced
1 small onion sliced
1 cup chicken stock
12 cup dry while wine
1 small can mushrooms I use fresh and use quite a few sliced up
¼ cup tomato juice (I never have tomato juice so I use 2 tablespoons low carb ketchup and more wine to equal ¼ cup)
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ cup parmesan cheese sprinkled on just before serving and a little parsley for garnish if you have it.
It also calls for 2 Tablespoons of flour to shake the chicken in with salt and pepper. I just cook the juice down at the end, but a little flower would help to thicken the sauce.
Saute onion and garlic, add chicken and brown then add rest of ingredients. Simmer for 30 minutes.
We find making this a day ahead is MUCH better as it seasons the chicken. I drain the liquid off and cook it down lots of flavor that way.
I used about 4 pounds of chicken tenders for 12 people doubled the recipe and there was not much left.
I served spinach salad with bacon, green onions and chopped hard boiled egg.
I cook a pound of bacon all chopped up and save the drippings.
For the dressing I use equal amounts of drippings and rice vinegar with some (start with a teaspoon of each) Grey Poupon mustard, Worstechire Sauce and sugar (Splenda) mixed in. Heat in the microwave and pour over the spinach mixture. I cant find the book with the recipe in it!!! I have been making this for years. For the pound of fresh spinach I used ½ cup vinegar and ½ cup drippings.
Carol I dont have any bread recipes. If you Google low carb bread there are a lot of them out there. Do you have a list of ingredients in the bread you like? Maybe you could use the same ingredients. I do think Diane said that the bread was really more than one carb, though.
I have been making the one minute muffin and find that very satisfying for a bread like thing. We shared one this morning with our eggs quite tasty. I use half golden flax and half almond meal. I am using almond meal I got at Trader Joes last summer when we were in CA. Do you have one near you? It is definitely less expensive than Bobs Red Mill, although the skins are on it when they grind it.
Good Luck Pam on your re-start.
Kate so sorry to hear about your niece. That has really been a nightmare for her and the family.
Lisa - We think Wyoming is great in the summer have camped there several times, but can only imagine how beautiful the mountains are covered in snow. He should have a great time there.
I cant imagine your weather Robin. We are having a VERY rainy day here, but it is warm. Bob is off playing bridge and I am doing a bit of cooking for the week. I went to the chiropractor this morning so was going to take it easy today. I had hoped for a day like yesterday that was hot so I could be outside, but did not happen.
I got a great water workout in yesterday at the gym as well as a weight workout. It is really too bad the gym with all the good stuff is so far away, but I might venture back there tomorrow as I will be half way there with a morning appointment.
Hi Laura
Kathy hope you get over your cold soon not fun to have.
Robin good luck on catching some food I had to laugh at that one.
Do take to heart the suggestions from everyone about your rentals, Nell especially if you are not telling him you are leaving. Im glad you are so excited about your new place, though.
Not much else to report from here!! Busy for the rest of the week. At least we are eating in for a few days no matter how careful I am when I go out, I get too much of stuff I dont want.
Last night was Chinese I did not enjoy it at all. A Chinese lady did the ordering and I had things I have never had before. I am an adventurous eater usually, but this was too much!!! Most of it was breaded and fried or some veggie I have never heard of. We enjoyed the company, though. I finally took some rice so it would look like there was something on my plate!!!
Happy MMing everyone
