So to ring in a new year with new lofty goals of eating at home, saving money and trying to stay off the carb train as much as I can without nutting up, I bring you: Lo-Carb Honey Mustard Chicken.
Here's what you need:
1/2 cup Mayonnaise (you can use the light kind to reduce calories)
1/2 Teaspoon Apple Cider Vinegar
1/8 cup Dijon or Yellow Mustard
1 Tablespoon Splenda (or no-cal sugar sub)
A dash of garlic powder
2 Chicken Breast (make sure to double the above items if making more than 2 servings)
Olive Oil
First, put your chicken breast in a zip lock bag and beat it like it stole your boyfriend. I HATE pounding chicken. Mostly because I am too impatient to sit there and bang on my counter top for 10 minutes to really get it thin, but just thin it out a little and you are good to go! Plus the fact that I am super messy anyway makes me pretty sure that I infected a large surface area of my home with salmonella as a result of my messy pounding. It's cool..........I used soap to clean up :)
Next, mix up your honey mustard sauce by combining all the ingredients (except the olive oil) in a bowl and mixing it up. I can't believe it, but it really does taste like store bought honey mustard.....but with NO CARBS!!
Then put your chicken in a baking dish and top with HALF of your honey mustard mixture. Put it in the fridge and let it chill for 45 mins. After everyone has enjoyed some "me" time, take the chicken out for the cooking process!
Preheat the oven for 350 degrees.
Put some olive oil in a saucepan and heat to medium heat. Then flash fry your chicken breast for 3 minutes on each side.
Now, let's put that chicken back in the baking dish (rinsed out of course, what are we, savages?) Top with the remaining honey mustard sauce and bake it for 20 minutes.
And there you have it! A yummmmmmy lo-carb entree that even non lo-carbers won't be able to resist. I hadn't made this in a while and I forgot how good it is! I paired mine with some CALITATERS (find the recipe in an earlier posting) and some mixed veggies.
Total for these 2 servings of chicken was about 250 calories each & 1 CARB!!! These counts do not include my calitaters and veggie dish. And remember, if making a double batch of the chicken to add in those calories.
This meal was great and I didn't even go to bed with eating remorse. I hope you love it!!!
Happy Eating.
