I began by blogging my attempts at low-carb recipes to excite the tastebuds and replace old favorites! Now I've transitioned to the world of Paleo for the next 40 days. Leave a comment or another recipe idea - I'm always looking for further inspiration!

P1: Fried Chicken - (4g)
Ingredients:
1 Chicken breast, sliced into 4 strips
1/2 C Almond meal/flour (1-2g/serving in this dish, depending on choice of flour)
Dash paprika
Dash garlic powder
Dash parsley
Dash salt
1 egg
1 Tbsp Cream (1g)
Lots of oil
Fill a frying pan with 1 inch of oil, and heat on medium high.
Mix dry ingredients together on a plate/bowl. Mix egg and cream in a seperate bowl.
Dip chicken strips into the egg wash, then roll in the flour mixture.
Once oil is hot (sizzles when you drop in a small piece of leftover egg/flour mix), add chicken strips and cook for about 2 minutes, or until outside is golden brown.
Serving - 2 strips of chicken
the 2 different colorings are the result of using 2 different almond meals. The one on the right was using the almond meal I bought from the health food market in bulk - skins included - for significantly less carbs. The one on the left is using the almond meal you can buy at most grocery stores in the baking aisle. It has 6 g of carbs/ 1/4 cup (the other one has 2). Both tasted exactly the same - so use whatever you can get your hands on!
