Easy Keto Taco Chicken Salad - Healthy - Low Carb - Easy 3 Steps!

 

I made a super easy and yummy lunch today! Some days I dread making meals for myself if they haven't been prepped already. I have to make lunch for 3 kids that have carbs, so marking and sharing lunch with them is usually out of the picture. 

During the work week, I normally have left overs to take, so its not a big deal. But on the weekends, Ive got to figure it out. Some days I just have cheese, salami and cucumbers with veggie-salt, but today I decided to get adventurous! 

I looked in the cabinets and found canned chicken from Costco. I know, it doesn't sound the best. But Costco makes great Tuna so I felt like it couldn't be that bad. I knew I has a few other Taco items, so I decided to mix it all together! 

Let me show you how I made the Taco Chicken Salad! 

Ingredients 

-canned chicken - I used the canned chicken from   Costco

-sliced olives 

-1 roma tomato

-shredded cheese

-cilantro dressing 

-taco seasoning

**I didn't measure anything, I just added as I went. 

Step 1

Open the canned chicken and drain it well. Even after you drain it out of one side, drain in from the other. There always seems to be liquid hiding in there somewhere. 

Step 2

Dump chicken into bowl. Cut up tomato and throw that into the bowl. Add some sliced olives and shredded cheese. Add a little drizzle of the Cilantro dressing. 

Step 3

Mix it all together. Add a sprinkle of taco seasoning and mix again. 

Lunch is served! How easy was that! And my youngest wanted a bite and loved it! 

The canned chicken is so easy and can be used it a lot of different ways. I can't wait to try out some more ideas with the canned chicken! 

Is this something you would make while on Keto?

My Favorite Keto Recipes from Pinterest! -

I have bought books, I have bought magazine and I have bought Keto Menus from websites. But my favorite place to find Keto Recipes is Pinterest! I really never cooked much and when I first got married almost 8 years ago, I made the same stuff- Spaghetti, Soup and Guacamole. I know... He must have not married me for my cooking skills! Luckily, Pinterest was new and made life to easy! I started cooking and baking all kinds of things! 

So fast forward to about 10 months ago. I kept hearing all about Keto this and Keto that... I have tried so many diets that works just a little or not at all. But hearing about Keto- I thought "how can you eat all that and lose weight?" Well my friends, it works! For me, It's slow. But Slow is better than not at all! 

So I'm going to share some of my favorite Keto Recipes that I have found on Pinterest!

1. BROCCOLI AND CHEESE STUFFED CHICKEN

from: https://thatlowcarblife.com

I have made this so many times and I LOVE IT! I have made it in the oven and on the BBQ. Both options are greats! The Bacon wrapped around it is the perfect finisher! So yummy! And each serving is only 2 g net carbs! 

2. Chicken Enchilada casserole

from: www.730sagestreet.com

This is a hit with my whole family! Even the baby! WE all love Mexican style dishes so this fits perfect for us! I'm the only one on Keto, so I make Mexican rice and re fried beans for them. And there is always left overs, so I take that to work. This is really easy to make to. I have made it in the crock put and on the stove top. Either one is easy! 

3. Taco seasoning cheese crisps

from: www.linneyville.com

These are great snacks and super easy to make! In my crazy life, I need easy! Best of all 0 CARBS! Shut the front door--- that make its even better! 

4. Keto pina colada

I have seen this Pin floating around Pinterest for a while a decided to try it... YUM! It's so great and refreshing! MY kids like it too! Its the perfect treat. I'm sure all the flavors are great. Once I try them, I'll let you know! 

So That's it for now. I have my eye on a few new to try. I'll let you know how it goes!

Keto Wednesday- Crispy Chicken

Keto Wednesday- Crispy Chicken

Welcome back! I knew you would come back for more! When ever I make my Keto Crispy Chicken my family LOVES it! It goes great with so much. They are pretty easy to make, because really- if they were hard, I wouldn't be making them! 

Here's what you need:

Chicken breasts (4-5) 

Mayonaise

Pork Rinds

Salt 

Pepper

Garlic Powder

Onion Powder

Blender

How to make them:

Set oven for 425 degrees.

I like to prep everything before I have to handle and cut the chicken. I put a whole bag of pork rinds into the blender and them them until they are completely blended without any lumps. Then I pore the blended pork rinds into a bowl and mix in a few shakes of garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. I don't really measure anything, but I would say at least a 1/2 tablespoon of garlic powder and onion powder. I stir those all together with a fork, so I know that I have mixed them well. After that, I put mayonnaise into a bowl. Now get your line up set up so once you cut your chicken, you are ready to go! This is the time to line your baking sheet with foil and spray it with oil.

That little finger is Mason helping out!

This is the pork rinds, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper

Now I get the chicken out and cut into strips. They can be big or small. Just however your family likes them! 

Once they are all cut up, throw some chicken into the mayonnaise and make sure it gets fully coated. I do this a few at a time. 

Then once coated, place into the pork rind mixture. Coat completely making sure there are no bare spots without the mixture on it. Now transfer the coated chicken over to the oiled baking sheet. 

Once you have done all of your chicken, put them in the pre-heated oven for about 45 minutes. 

Take them out and they are ready to serve! They will be crispy, just like if you used normal breading! 

I like to make regular broccoli with this since the chicken has great flavor already. This time added some home made Alfredo sauce to the broccoli instead of butter. And for the kids and the hsuband, I make them rice- normal jasmine rice. It's easy to make and they like to put soy sauce on it.
