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!

Low Carb & Paleo Greek Chicken & Eggplant Bake, 15g
I used a vegan chicken substitute that was grilled/had a smoky flavor added, and it was phenomenal. If you're using chicken & happen to have Liquid Smoke, maybe add a dash or two to add some extra flavor dimensions! :)
Not only is this dish low in carbs, but it's low in calories, too! Right around 300 calories per serving, including the chicken. In my book, that makes for TWO wins! :)
Makes 2 servings, at around 15g carbs (serving) or less!
Ingredients:
100g eggplant - cubed (about 1 Cup)
1 medium tomato - (140g)
4 marinated artichoke hearts
2 chicken breasts, cubed (the smaller they're cubed, the less time they'll cook)
Marinade:
1 tbsp grapeseed oil (or olive)
1 tbsp white wine vinegar
1 tbsp marsala cooking wine
1 tsp+ balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 tsp salt
1 tsp greek seasoning (or italian)
2 tsp minced garlic
Preheat the oven to 350
Cube the first 4 ingredients (meats & veggies) and put in a tin foil lined baking dish.
In a small bowl, whisk together all ingredients for the marinade.
Coat all meat & veggies with the marinade, and place in the oven for 30 minutes (or until chicken is no longer pink in the middle).
