Recipes 7/8: easy, quick, delicious low carb meals


What to do with left over beef tenderloin? How about sauté some kale and onions, then chop up your super tender beef leftovers, add 1/2 of a small sweet potato with a teaspoon of sour cream, and bam, that's dinner in 10 minutes!


Have some uncooked chicken breast in the fridge? Here's a super easy recipe that will take about 10-15 minutes to prepare. You'll need 1/4 medium onion (I use yellow), greens of your choice (I used chinese brocolli - just visited a Chinese grocery for the first time, and wanted to try something new!) for your veggie sauté. For the chicken dish, you'll need some plain tomato sauce (low carb/sugar), Italian herbs (Italian blend or oragano, time, and basil), and parmesan.  

If watching fat intake, use cooking spray like Pam to sauté veggies. Spray pan and  add onions, then bring to medium heat. Once onions are soft, add your greens and cook to preferred tenderness. Add salt and pepper to taste. 

Start a separate pan on medium high heat. Spray pan.  Once hot, add sliced raw chicken breast. Sear chicken for a minute or so on both sides. Turn heat down to medium and add 1/4 cup of tomato sauce. Add Italian herbs, salt, and pepper to taste and a clove of fresh garlic. Allow time for chicken to cook all the way through as tomato sauce heats up. 

After plating chicken and veggies sprinkle both dishes with parmesan. Enjoy :)
