Hi everyone!
I wanted to post this recipe because it was so delicious. My wonderful fiance made it for me since I was craving chicken parm...


He made 8 chicken breasts with this recipe.

4 eggs and 1/2c to 1 c heavy cream. He added pepper and any other spices for taste. He dipped the chicken in it and let it sit for about 2 minutes.

Then...
this is the good part!!

He rolled the chicken in freshly grated parm cheese! It took the place of the breadcrumbs. It looked exactly like breadcrumbs, but much much less carbs.

He fried them in a small amount of olive oil, just to brown them.

When they were brown, he moved them to the oven where he cooked them for another 20-25 mins at 350.

This was so awesome I cant even tell you. Also, the day after they tasted even better.

PLEASE let me know if you try this out-I loved it!!!

I am going out shopping & making this tonight with some spinach as a side dish...Sounds delicious!

Vic...

Sounds awesome!! Can you serve this with marinara sauce? I don't even know if marinara is LC acceptable.

I can't wait to try it.

BTW...congrats on the wedding.

Good morning

I think it wont hurt you to use a bit of tomato sauce on it! WOW, now I want to make it again.... I just couldnt believe how great it tasted with that parm cheese as the "breading".

Let me know how it turns out!!!

I've had that with a slice of ham and cheese rolled up in the chicken too. Ummmm love it!

I made this the other night for me and my 3 roommates. 2 of them hate to eat anything that they know I made specifically low-carb. So I didn't bother telling them. It was fantastic. I let the chicken "marinade" in the cream/egg mixture for about 30 minutes. Then I dipped them in the parmesan cheese and practically deep-fried them in olive oil. Got them nice and crispy. Then I put them in a baking dish and topped each breast with a 1/4 cup of vodka sauce (1 g ecc) and a slice of Monterey Jack cheese. Baked at 350 for about 10 minutes. They were AWESOME.

Sounds GREAT!! BTW...what's Vodka sauce and what is "ecc?"

TIA,

Vodka sauce is a lovely red sauce made with vodka. It's very nummy. I have a brand here in Massachusetts that had 4 g of carbs, 2 of which are fibre, for a 1/2 cup serving. ECC is effective carb count, which is the carbs minus the fibre. So for the 1/4 cup I used for each serving, there was only 1 g of effective carbs.

Thanks...

I have seen Vodka sauce. In fact, Emeril makes a version that my grocery store carries. However, I don't know the "ecc." BTW...thanks for expaining that, too.

I cannot stress this enough. This dish is SIMPLE and DELICIOUS. If you haven't yet, make it tonight.

Tried to make this...but didn't turn out right.

I let the chicken set in the egg/cream mixture and then coated it with grated parm. When I put it in the skillet, the parm just came off and stuck to the pan, leaving my chicken without any coating.

What did I do wrong?

TIA..

Gotta get your oil hot enough. And don't turn it too soon.

hi everyone
Glad you like the recipe.
Hey wanji---
that looks fine. You can go to fitday.com and put in your foods. Fat is your friend. You dont have to worry about it-make sure you are getting enough protein and at least 20g carbs too per day-it looks like you are eating veggies

Ive been out sick for the past week or so. Azure-your tweak sounds delicious. Im going to try it out soon
