Atkins Baked Chicken Serves:2-4 people (depending on how many drums you can eat!)
CarbsPerServing:3-4 (to be safe) Prep Time:5 minute
Effort:Average
Ingredients:
3-4 chicken drumsticks
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup Atkins bake mix (or other low-carb friendly baking mix)
2 tbsp Adobo (Goya preferred)
**for Italian style chicken, substitute 1/8 cup of grated
parmesan/romano cheese w/ Italian seasonings for 1 tbsp of Adobo**
salt and pepper

How to Prepare:
Heat oven to 350. For best results, use glass bottom baking dish (if
not available, cookie/baking sheets are fine too). No need to spray
or butter.

Prepare chicken drumsticks (thaw, etc, if they have been in the freezer). Prepare two bowls, one w/

the beaten egg, the other with
the Atkins mix — which includes the bake mix, adobo seasonings and
liberal amounts of salt and pepper (to taste). (To those making
Italian-style, grate your parmesan/romano cheese into the bake mix,
and add liberal amounts of Italian seasonings and adobo). Mix baking
mix around till everything is well-blended. Dip chicken into egg
batter, cover well. Take the egg-battered chicken and dip into bake
mix, cover well. Take covered chicken drum and place into baking
dish. Repeat for as many drums as needed. When completed, place into
pre-heated oven. Baked for about 40-45 minutes.

    Cheese Death Serves:1 CarbsPerServing:Trace
    Prep Time:1 hour Effort:Average
    Ingredients:
    1/3 cup olive oil 1 package parmesean cheese (DiGiorno works well)
    1/3 cup heavy cream or heavy whipping cream
    As much Oregano as you like Splash of Lemon Juice
    1/2 to full stick of butter 1-2 Boneless Skinless breast of chickenPatience

    How to Prepare:
    I put together this recipe after getting bored with all the usual
    foods of the diet. When making this recipe it is important to
    transcend the limitations of measurements.

    Put the olive oil in a large frying pan on medium heat. Watch the
    oil change consistency slightly. Place your thawed chicken in the
    pan and adjust temperature to keep chicken chatting nicely in the
    oil. Spring Oregano on top. Cook chicken so as to only turn once. I
    let the white get to about half-way through the chicken, then flip.
    Apply liberal oregano sprinklings on other side.After the chicken is
    firm, take out of pan and set aside. Add lemon juce in and stir in
    oil. Next add in the heavy cream and butter. Warm until mixed.
    gently add in parmesean cheese, stirring and making sure to get a
    nice smoothe consistency. Add more cheese as necessary to get a nice
    thick sauce. Add more oregano.

    How to Prepare:

    enough mayo to make nice consistancy. I like it as is but you can
    spread on a leaf of lettuce if desired. Most ingredients 0 carbs.

    Chicken Mozarella Serves:2 CarbsPerServing:8 total recipe
    Prep Time:15 min. , bake time 22-25 min Effort:Easy
    Ingredients:
    2 Chicken breasts (or the number needed to serve number of ppl you
    have)
    1/2 c grated parmesan 1 egg, beaten
    4 oz mozarella, shredded 1 tsp Italian seasoning Bacon

    How to Prepare:
    Mix the parmesan with the Italian seasoning. Coat the chicken
    breasts with egg and dredge in the parmesan. Saute in a little olive
    oil until browned. Remove from skillet. Place onto a cookie cooling
    rack which has been placed on a LINED cookie sheet. Put a slice of
    bacon on each piece (or two-whatever it takes to cover surface of
    chicken)…on top of that, the mozarella. Bake until the chicken is
    done through. Enjoy!

    The way to test for doneness: press with a fork, the thickest part
    of the breast…it should press just slightly and bounce back up.
    The amount it should press is to be compared to the amount the end
    of your nose presses when pressed gently with your finger.

    STEAK/HAMBURGER DONENESS:
    GENTLY….
    1. Press the space between your upper lip and nose(relaxed-don’t
    tense it). This is RARE.
    2. Press the side of your nostril. This is MED RARE.
    3. Press the end of your nose. This is MEDIUM (also perfect for
    chicken breasts—no dry, cardboard chicken this way!)
    4. Press the bridge of your nose (where the cartilage meets the
    bone). This is WELL DONE.

    Transfer the idea of how much these areas press down to your meat
    and it will be exactly as you want it.
