*WANTED* Low / No-Carb Dinners

leighkent

Hello, this is my first post here.

I would really like some ideas for low / no carb dinners - I am really struggling to think up any more than 5 and these ones are getting quite boring having them each week!!! xx

the only low carb meal I have is one based on ratatouille. Makes enough for 4 people and will keep in the fridge for a day.
2 tins of tomatoes
broccoli
mangtout
baby corn
carrots
1/2 teaspoon paprika
2 teaspoons tomato puree
salt and pepper (optional)
mixed herbs (italian)

Cook in slow cooker or oven for a couple of hours.
Can include chicken breasts and/or top with cheese

With chicken 51g protein, 435 calories, 32 carbs

Try this on chicken:

Emeril's Creol Seasoning:

Ingredients
2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon dried leaf oregano
1 tablespoon dried thyme

Mix them all together (makes quite a bit) Store the rest in airtight container.

I take a pack of boneless/skinless chicken thighs. Put in a pan on a layer of non-stick aluminum and a pad of butter. Bake at 425 for 20 minutes on one side. Flip, sprinkle, and bake for another 20 min. I do low carb but the family insists on this next version.

Take the spices and add about 4 heaping tablespoons to two cups of flour. Put it in a baggie to mix. Rinse the thighs and put in one at a time (like you would with shake-n-bake.) Set up your pan and oven temperature just as I mentioned above. Cook them the same way.

As a side to this I make steamed brocolli with cheese sauce. (velveeta melts down fine and you don't have to use flour to make a sauce.)

You get used to it and it becomes easier to think of substitutions for the carbs... I love Thai food and just have extra veggies instead of rice.

There are some good low-carb cookbooks if you get stuck!

Hello... tonight I shall be having chicken breast (170g) with spinach, brocolli, peas and sweet chillu sauce for flavour, 250 cals, 36 carbs, 2 fat and 29 protein. Last night I went for hot and spicy chicken breast, cucumber, sweetcorn, iceberg lettuce and extra light mayo, 134 calories, 20 carbs, 3 fat and 13 protein. Salad and veg is a great way to bulk out meals :-)
