Chicken Kiev

printer friendly version of this recipe printer friendly version of this recipe

Ingredients

Chicken Kiev

  • 4 large chicken breast—boneless
  • ¼ cup Atkins Bake Mix (optional)
  • 1 egg—beaten

Garlic Butter

  • ¼cup butter—softened
  • 1 tablespoon parsley
  • 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder (or 1 clove garlic minced, but this raises carb count a little)

“Bread” crumbs

  • 1 ½ ounces plain pork rinds
  • 2 tablespoons parmesean cheese
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon parsley
  • 1 pinch garlic powder

Directions

Mix garlic butter ingredients (butter, parsley, and garlic powder) in a small bowl. Chill in freezer for 15 minutes.

Crush pork rinds finely (the finer they are, the more they resemble bread crumbs). Combine crushed pork rinds with other “bread” crumbs ingredients (parmesan cheese, oregano, parsley, and garlic powder).

Flatten chicken breasts, either by rolling between sheets of wax paper or pounding with a tenderizer mallet.

Remove garlic butter from freezer. Place a piece of garlic butter (shaped into a small “stick”) in center of each flattened chicken breast (divide garlic butter evenly between chicken breasts). Roll up chicken breasts with garlic butter in the center.

Dredge rolled up chicken breasts in Atkins bake mix. Dip in or brush with egg and roll in “bread” crumbs.

Use toothpicks to hold rolled chicken breasts together. Either fry the chicken until cooked or place seam–side down on a buttered
baking sheet (with sides) and bake uncovered at 425 for 40 minutes.

Pork Rind Wings

printer friendly version of this recipe printer friendly version of this recipe


“Wings” author Debbie Moose actually calls these “When Pigs Fly” but we like to call them “Skinny Dippin’ Wings”

Ingredients

Pork Rind Wings

  • 3 cups pork rinds
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 12 wings, cut in half at joints, wing tips discarded

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400° degrees. Cover a rimmed baking sheet with foil and spray the foil with nonstick cooking spray.

Place the pork rinds in a heavy plastic bag and seal. Roll with a rolling pin or crush with your hands until the rinds become coarse crumbs. (Don’t crush them too finely.)

Lightly beat the eggs into the melted butter. Place the crushed pork rinds on a plate. Dip the wings into the egg–butter mixture and let the excess drip off. Roll the wings in the crushed pork rinds, pressing lightly to help them adhere to the meat.

Place the wings on the baking sheet. Roast for 30 minutes or until done. Serve warm.

Ingredients

  • 8 pork cutlets (or boneless chops pounded thin)
  • 8 breakfast sausage links
  • 1 egg, beaten with ½ cup of water
  • 1 cup crushed pork rinds
  • 8 oz tomato sauce (no sugar added for low carb)
  • 1/8 teaspoon white pepper
  • ¾ cup shredded cheese

Directions

Preheat oven to 325 F

Saute sausage until lightly browned. Place one sausage link on each pork cutlet and roll up, tucking ends of pork to make a pouch. Hold together with a toothpick. Dip in egg and roll in crushed pork rinds.

Chill thoroughly—at least an hour (this keeps them together, so don’t skip this step.)

Arrange in baking dish, cover with sauce, and sprinkle with cheese. Bake 1 hour at 325° F until done. (These can also be wrapped in foil and grilled, turning once.) Remove toothpicks before serving.
