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.

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.

Keto Wednesday- Enchilada Soup

Keto Wednesday- Enchilada Soup


I love finding something that my whole family loves and it is Keto friendly at the same time. This Enchilada Soup is a staple in the Barrington household! Everyone loves it and I can easily add side dishes to give everyone else carbs. Plus, its pretty easy to make so I make a big batch so I can take it to work and we can have it again another night.

Here's what you need:
Dutch oven or large pot OR Crock Pot (I'll give directions at the end)
4-6 chicken breasts
4 cans of red mild enchilada sauce (normal size)
7 cups total of chicken broth
1 onion- chopped
salt
pepper
cumin
garlic powder
butter
toppings: sour cream, shredded cheese, sliced olives





How to make it:
Take the chicken- thawed or frozen- (I normally use thawed or fresh- it's just faster) and put it the Dutch oven. Pour 1 can of enchilada sauce and 3 cups of chicken broth and cook for about 45 minutes thawed or 2 hours frozen. I like to flip the chicken every 15 minutes to make sure they are cooking evenly.


Cook your chicken
Add 3 cups of chicken broth


Add 1 can of mild red enchilada sauce

After they are cooked, shred chicken. I have to best little secret to easy chicken shredding- use your KITCHEN AID!! I know, it sounds crazy but it's a life saver! Just put the cooked chicken into the Kitchen Aid Bowl and use the paddle on a medium low setting. Don't over do it! You don't want chicken dust.

Once your chicken is shredded,  dump out the sauce you cooked your chicken in and put the chicken back into the pot. Add the other 3 cans of red enchilada sauce and 4 cups of chicken broth. Cook on simmer.

In a different pot, add butter and melt. Add your chopped onion and cook until soft. Once the onions are soft and translucent, add into pot with soup.

At this point, I add salt, pepper, cumin and garlic powder to taste. I don't always measure everything, just go by taste. I normal use a good amount of cumin in the soup.

Let all this simmer for about 30-60 minutes- stirring every 20ish minutes.

When done, laddle into bowl and add toppings. I like sour cream, shredded cheese and sliced black olives. This is usually how my kids want it too. They sometimes will add tortilla chips to dip into their soup. This past time I made white rice and added that in to their bowls before I added in the soup make it hardier. They loved it.


This is my left over lunch at work.


If you want to make in in the Crock Pot, its even easier! If I plan it out well enough, this is the way I like to make it! I add chicken, 3 cans of red mild enchilada sauce, 4 cups chicken broth, chopped onions, salt, pepper, cumin and garlic powder all in and cook for about 8 hours on high. Once done, I pull the chicken out and put into KITCHEN AID and shred chicken. I don't dump out anything, I just put the chicken back in and stir.

Volia! You just made dinner that everyone will love!

Please let me know if you make and how everyone likes it!

Keto Wednesday--- Cheesy Bacon Broccoli


Bacon Broccoli


Prep time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 25 minutes

One of my favorite side dishes is my Keto Cheesy Bacon Broccoli. I love broccoli and I LOVE Bacon! So this dish is the best of both worlds! I like to make it in bulk so I can have it all week with my lunches. It's super easy to make and it goes with everything so it's a win-win!

Ok... Here's what you need to make it: 

- Broccoli (like a big Costco size bag)
- Bacon- about 5 pieces 
- Heavy cream
- Parmesan cheese
- salt 
- dutch oven or a big pot




Step 1- Cut the bacon into small bite size pieces. Place into dutch oven and turn onto medium heat. 




Step 2- While bacon is cooking, start to trim the broccoli. I don't like long stems on my broccoli. 



Step 3- Once bacon is just about fully cooked, pour broccoli into put and put the lid on. Don't drain the grease! That gives the the broccoli the flavor. I wait about 5 minutes before I stir it for the 1st time. After stirring, put the lid back on. I wait about another 4-6 minutes before stirring again. 


Step 4- Pour a small pour of heavy cream into the pot and put the lid back on. Add a little salt and stir. Once the broccoli is slightly tender, turn off the stove and sprinkle for parmesan cheese in the top. Place the lid back on for about 3-5 minutes.  


And Volia! You have a yummy keto side dish!
